Pare Family Weekend Away

So the whole family took the Tank (youth group coffee machine) away for the weekend to youth leaders Training in Ngaruawahia. It was cold and raining. But it was fun. We made a lot of coffee and cookies and things. Generally we had a marvellous time.

Kid quotes that were outta sight..(just a reminder .. Jes is 5, and Liam 20months.)

5.30am

Liam : Blah be dad dybbe jo lolll le daaaa de bah de

Jesse: Liam! Go to SLEEP! It's the MIDDLE of the NIGHT!


6.30am

Liam : Blah BEE beb daaa de be tuc ha hehehe ha blah ta tahhhh

Jesse: Liam! Stop being such a STUPID baby! Go to sleep!


Later that day, playing on the playground with Kirsten

Jesse: I LIKE this world. It feels like a warm, cozy blanket.

More School Tales

Suffice it to say... Jes has taken to school like a duck to water.. although it has some interesting side effects.

Side Effect 1:

Jes: "wow, did you see that 'the' on the side of that building? I can't believe it. There are so many 'the's' everywhere. look, look! there's one on the weetbix packet."

Side Effect 2:

Jes (being put to bed at 6.55pm): "oh thank goodness it's time to go to bed. Now I can finally get some sleep."
