Pizza Night

Nev's first week of new job has gone well. To be honest it hasn't really made any difference to the amount of time he has with the family as he is just getting up even earlier to go in to work in the mornings, he has always left before we are up. He is going to bed a bit earlier, but all in all says he is coping well so that's great news it will make life a bit more comfortable. The house seems to be running smoothly too so I must have found myself a nice routine.

I have started a family tradition of having Pizza night on Friday. A bit dorky to have a set meal but it's nice to have a tradition and Fin enjoys making it with me, we make the dough in the bread maker and just add what ever we have to the top.

Saturday will see us completing some chores, I'm going to build a little table to put the goat food on. I read somewhere it's not good for them to have to lean all the way to the ground to eat, and it should stop them from stomping in each others bowls. We have an old side table frame which I will just put some wood on top of . If the weather is better hopefully we can move some rocks out the front we have decided to try and tidy the driveway up a bit. Nev has drawn an awesome Birdseye view picture of the outdoors layout.

very cool he spent a while doing it , showing house, deck, planter boxes, gardens, water tanks sheds, driveways. I think it's still a work in progress but it's nice to have a bit of a plan in mind and it's easier to chat about it and move things around this way than building it and then deciding it's stink. Btw Russ, Ruth, Tilly and Fins veggie garden still stands but I think it's going to have a bit of an extension from young Nev. The line between my triangle garden and the deck is where we are planning on having the driveway finish, also going around the front corner of the house is just going to remain driveway metal for now but one day will become something a bit prettier and be called a path. The garden in front of the front window is already in just needs me to get around to barrowing a bit more dirt up to it and taking a picture. Again framed in wood pile wood and looking not to shabby.

Oh yeah the boys, Poor Charlie looks like a beaten child. He fell of the deck the other day and ended up with a great big graze on his noggin. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why on earth he would just go and head dive of the deck as he's really good at stopping before edges and going backwards when he does want to hop down. My answer was to come later that day when he climbed onto his trike. Great stuff that he has figured out how to ride his bike not so great that he hasn't mastered the art of going fowards, poor little lad must have done a backwards motorbike sumersault of the edge of the deck. Yes this is the deck with the rocks and clay around the outside, hence the grazed head.
Fin is great so happy to be back at playcentre , his confidence is really impressive and he is building great little relationships with the other children and mothers. Very proud of my little boy.
