Crickey, Where's June gone?

It seems that I only get a chance to update this once a month at the moment.  I should try and do it more often but we are so busy that it just slips off my important to do list.  But tonight I am having a night off sorting and decluttering, Tris is out climbing, I have a glass of wine and some choccy and I thought I will sort through the photos from the last month and pop them on here.

Where has June gone?  Time truly is flying by, we have only 13 weeks until our proposed day of moving out, WOW, that's come around quick!  We are doing ok with the sorting, a little everyday.  Lots of dump trips and giving away things to friends.

As for the paperwork side of things, Tris is still waiting for his certificate to prove he is Aussie so he can get his passport and hopefully I will get the official approval for my visa next month.

The boys are doing well, Rowan seems very excited about the move, he is looking forward to meeting his Grandad that he has never met, being able to wear shorts and crocs every day, but most of all he is looking forward to buying an inflatable crocodile!  The other day we were making a list of jobs they had to, to help with the sorting and I asked them to decorate it with pictures of things they thought of when they thought of Australia - Rowan said, "I don't know how to draw an inflatable crocodile!"

Reuben has been having a tougher time of coming to grips with it all and has been not wanting to go to nursery, but we have worked through that and even though it was hard he is back to loving it there and is even talking about going to school in Australia at circle time.

Anyway here is a mishmash of photos from the month.......

The boys posing in new jim jams

A sunny day out at heartlands, its truly great fun there and on a warm day the kids just love to run up and down the red river

Big boy Boo, getting there with the pedal bike, he is still unsure and would rather take his balance bike, but he is getting there

Rowan has been doing a healthy eating project, one activity we came across suggested trying 5 new foods and rating them out of 5 to encourage a wide range of food in your diet.  Well anyone that knows Rowan will know that he does not have a limited diet!  So in Tesco it was very hard to find 5 foods he had never tried.  We ended up with salsa, cheesestrings(?!), pickled red cabbage, a passion fruit (unripe!) and an onion bahji.  He said the cheesestrings and pickled cabbage was the best.

We did some multimedia art.  We printed out large black and white images of their faces and stuck them on some paper then let thier imaginations do the rest with some paint.  Rowan is a cool alien with golden glasses, pointy golden ears and an awesome golden handlebar moustache!

Reuben is a clown with a crown!

Blogger is being a pain in the bum tonight and I can't put anymore photos on, so that's it for now, but I will get the rest up soon x
