Monday
Today we had a play date at the Dale's house after picking Cillian up from kindy, the main reason we did this is because all Cillian talked about last week was when he could see Benny again! (They were in Wanaka last week!) it was super weird being there without Fabi! Everyone had heaps of fun and, once the rain died down a bit, the boys (and Tori!) had heaps of fun splashing in muddy puddles... but they were soaked by the time hey came in! Cillian had borrowed some wellies and I swear they were full to the brim with water!
Tuesday
Back to the library again today, and this time we made hot air balloons! The sun was shining today thank goodness so Darragh and I took his bike down to Caroline bay and played on the playground for a wee bit before picking Cillian up and then going to feed the ducks at the scenic reserve and exploring a part we haven't been to before!
Wednesday
Today I went to do a few jobs for Mary in town and I happened across some people giving away cadburys chocolate! Just had to the spin the wheel and you got a big bar of whatever chocolate it landed on... and I got caramilk, one of my favourites! This afternoon Darragh and I picked up Cillian and then Mackenzie and then drove to Pleasant point to have a play date with Sasha and Max! We also went to Temuka playground and had a lovely time in the sun playing! I'd also made a lasagne for tea, well two - one normal and one eggplant for Mary as she's on a no carb diet!
Thursday
After picking up Cillian today, we joined Sabrina, Mara and their kids at Chipmunks. Julia was going to come too, but poor Fletcher had hurt his ankle and can't walk on it! Cillian was getting pretty wheezy again so we had to nip back and get his inhaler but he carried on playing after that! This evening we went in the spa pool which was lovely! I keep forgetting it's there! (Although wasn't so relaxing with a 5 and a half year old and a nearly 4 year old!). Cillian fell asleep on the sofa half an hour before bed time... the poor boy still isn't well and I think Mary will take him to the doctors tomorrow!
Friday
Cillian seemed worse this morning, so we watched a movie and then played for a bit, he kinda jumped between playing and lying on the sofa feeling sorry for himself. Mary took him to the doctors at 11 and ended up having to take him to hospital as his asthma is so bad! Poor boy! So I looked after Darragh and minded the motel while Mary took Cillian to A&E. Sabrina brought Sasha and Max over to play for an hour or so, so that kept Darragh happy and distracted for a bit! Then we made white chocolate and Oreo fudge as well as a raisin loaf. Afterwards, we decided to have a movie afternoon so we watched Hotel for Dogs, Madagascar and Shrek 2. Cillian got back around 4ish and he seemed a lot better than this morning thank goodness! This evening, Mara was going to come over for one last movie night! (Both Mara and Sabrina are leaving next week and then after that I will be the next to go which is pretty scary!) but Timaru is in a State of emergency due to the storm and heaps of roads are closed due to flooding so we decided to call it off!
Saturday
The plan was to meet Karla, Ben and Tori's new au Pair, and show her around today. However, due to the storm, she didn't arrive until after 3 so we postponed until tomorrow! So I ended up spending most of the day reading the shining and then making Cillian and Darragh another blanket fort in the toy room as we tidied up the one we made yesterday! Sabrina picked me up after dinner, much to Cillian's dismay! He started crying and saying how much he missed me before I'd even left bless him! Sabrina and I had a great evening in with heaps of snacks, reminiscing over our time as au pairs and Hannah Montana the movie!
Sunday
We had a pretty lazy morning before heading up to tekapo, aiming to get to Fairlie to get a famous pie for lunch... they did not disappoint! The plan was to go skiing on Mt. Dobson today, but there was too much snow so it was all shut sadly! Instead, we decided on Tekapo to go ice skating and tubing, and we picked up Karla, Ben and Tori's new au Pair, on the way up. We had heaps of fun... even though I am so bad at ice skating! I definitely preferred the tubing, although it felt like I was going to go flying off the edge a few times! On the way home Mary messaged me to say that she has been with Cillian at hospital since 4am and they were staying overnight! Poor boy :(
