Winter is Here!

Monday 19th - Sunday 25th June 2017

This week I decided to do a theme of dinosaurs and dragons so that we could do some more focused activities. We went to the library and found lots of dinosaur and dragon books to read, made dinosaur collages and drawings, went on dinosaurs hunts amongst other things! It was pretty fun!

Cillian has also become very attached to a couple of teddies, both named 'chewie' (as in chewbacca) and they have started to come everywhere with us! If they come in the car he insists they wear seat belts which is super cute!

I also had a go at face painting and it turned out actually recognisable for a change! It was a Spider-Man mask thing and Cillian was super impressed (thank goodness)!

Football  was cancelled this week because it was raining... which seems like a pretty shoddy cause! I can remember playing sports regardless of the weather! But apparently here, as it doesn't rain all that much, the fields get sodden easily

Most of the other au pairs had gone away for the week/ weekend so I didn't do much during the day on Saturday, I felt rough though... got a stinking cold! Didn't stop me going out Saturday night though, a shame the lions lost the rugby but there's always the second test! Was a good night out, and I actually remember it this time so always a bonus!!! Had to get a maccas the day after though, always craving burgers when I'm hanging!

Timaru Week 4

Monday 17th April - Sunday 23rd April 2017

The Fairlie show was on on bank holiday Monday, so I went with Wade and the boys. It was pretty much exactly like any of the shows I've ever been to in England, so it was pretty cool to go and do something familiar!

This week is the start of the Easter holidays, so I've upped my hours a bit whilst there is no school! We have been going to 'monster mayhem' at Timaru library, which has been pretty cool. It's twice this week and twice next week, one of the librarians reads a few monster stories and then there is a craft. On the first day we made monster masks, and then the following day we made cup monsters!



The weather has stayed pretty nice this week so we've been spending a fair bit of time outside which has been amazing! We've pretty much done the rounds of the different parks in Timaru. We've even brought Spider-Man and iron man along with us a few times! 



This week I have also been making plans for south East Asia, and it looks like I will be able to go to Sydney for a couple of days beforehand which will be awesome!


Saturday evening, Wade got me in contact with one of the girls he works with as she was going out with a few mates. It was pretty sweet going out with kiwis finally and (from what I remember) it was a pretty good night!
