The Thomas Travelling Circus

My brand new expensive camera died in less than a week, a lemon. I was most disappointed and suffered through a bunch of 'I told you so's from the husband. I got my money back so I'm on the look out for a new camera.

We've been doing the usual kids activities, Tae Kwon Do, music, dancing and swimming. The children have also been doing some school work, a bit of math ,writing and drawing before hitting the TV to watch the cartoons.

It's less than a week till we travel to chilly NZ. I'm hoping the six cold fronts that are about to hit NZ all arrive before we do. We're pulling out the winter clothes, checking if they fit, it's a little snug, all the better to keep you warmer, I say.

The kids are excited,that they will be seeing their cousins, uncles, aunts, nana and poppa. On our way through we will stop by and stay at Grandma's house in Vailele, which will be an experience for the kids and Jason.

Everyday Noah asks, "Is this the day we go to New Zealand?"
