The Kids and Dad

I love this photo and wanted to put in on my blog, I think John looks handsome and that the girls look cute as well.

Daily Activites in the life of the chiara girls

We went and worked out today and after a friend invited us to swim with her and her 2 kids at the public pool(just as a disclaimer no one was around). As we didn't have any swimsuits I just let the kids go in their undies(panties). They made me proud looking like real island kids running around and swimming. I told John later what we did and he was a little umm embarrassed/surprised I guess is the word, well lets just say he wasn't as stoked as I was. Hey we had a blast!!!

Playing house

The girls decided to play house under the table with my sheets, cheap fun and it kept them entertained for ages. Every time I came to check on them they squealed like little pigs and called me the big bad wolf. Anya started doing googly eyes to keep me away...

School Time

Anya had a meet the teacher "T" party today and she loved it. She was so excited to go to school and even decided to do her homework before school. I know she will have fun and I hope that she will learn a ton and that this will be a great experience. I want her to have the best, better than I ever got and this is a great pre-school, but it is funny how much you can love a little person and how you will do and sacrifice anything for them. It is also funny how much you worry for them... This is pre-school for goodness sake yet I prayed and worried and contemplated and researched and called everyone to see where we should send her. Oh well hopefully it won't be a glorified playgroup.

It's a doggy world

Our neighbours just got this pooch and Anya was all over it poor dog. My child is an animal lover, which I think is fine sometimes but not when she brings every stray home, that drives me bonkers as we have every type of animal hanging around the house

Wormy Wroms

I am going in the garden to eat worms!!!

The girls had fun digging up worms and playing with them. John and I just watched and enjoyed, and reminised. We remeber playing in the garden and playing with worms.

Sickness yuck!!

Nadia has been throwing up for a day now and losing it out the other end as well. I have found that I am not a composed person when my children get sick and I tend to get upset and sad when I see them soo sick, John calls me a woosie pants which I am but they are my babies and I worry for them. Needless to say I had loads and loads of laundry and had to clean up puke all over the carpet....I am done!!!. Hopefully the rest of us don't get sick, John has a day off tomorrow so it will be just our luck if we were sick then.

Out of Diapers

Well it is official we are out of diapers. Nadia is dry through the night and has been for about 2 weeks now. Wow... I thought I would love it but actually it is not as cool as it seems. Today we went to a playground to play and lo and behold the girls needed to go poop. Both of them and what was there around, ohhh a stinky outhouse. mmmm lets just say that I prefer the diapers right about now. No I am proud of the girls and it is cheaper not having to buy diapers, but now my girl is no longer a baby, she is a big girl now as she constantly reminds me.

More Pics of Anya's birthday

More pics of Anya's birthday. Kui got her this tracksuit, it is super cool and she loves it. "Go New Zealand"

Anya is 4

Anya had her birthday yesterday and I think she had fun we had cake and icecream and had her favourite dinner which was steak, baked potatoes and corn...yum yum. It is amazing how time flies, my baby is really no longer a baby and while I love that she is growing up and learning , some part of me is sad as I feel her baby years slipping away.

Smoothie Time

John got a free coupon for smoothies in the mail and so we hung out and treated the girls. They loved it and stayed outside slurping away at their "mooothies" as Nadia puts it.
