Looking For Schools.

I have no idea what I really want from a school for my girls, all I am worried about is roll size. Mackenzie is a very shy girl who I don't think would thrive in a big school. I am currently looking at St Patricks in Invercargill. It's a Roman Catholic school. Mackenzie isn't ant religion so I am really hoping she can get in!! From what I have read they have a roll cap of about 300 and the current roll is just over 200. Just what I want nothing too big!

Only one problem with this though....her Dad doesn't want the Catholic stuff being forced on her. They pray everyday at school and he isn't sure that's what he wants for her.

Might also be time to look around town for schools that aren't zoned with a smaller roll. Ugh this is soooo hard!!!

It's been a while!

I seem to have lost the little blogging mojo I had!

Am working on finding it again so there won't be many posts from me at the moment I don't think! Also very busy with getting my house organised to move in a few weeks. I will try and get back and blog a lot more then!

As far as my weight loss goes I haven't been getting any exercise but have been eating fairly healthy! I am feeling better so may have lost some weight. I haven't been near my Wii Fit so not sure what I am weighing at the moment. Now things are a bit easier for me and and days are staying days longer I am going to start going for walks/runs at night by myself and taking Kaitlynn for a walk in the pram after we have dropped Kenz at kindy everyday, weather permitting.

I'm Off.

I'm off for a couple of days for a much needed break!!

Just going to the lovely Dunedin. Girls will be staying with their Nana and Granddad. I really need to get the house organised and packed tonight!! Don't think I'll be getting to sleep until late haha!

See you all in a couple of days :D

B4 School Check

Mackenzie had her B4 School Check this morning at Kindy.

Passed it with flying colours and now has her wee certificate which she is stoked about because she can now go to school. She wants me to go shopping for school stuff, not realising that she doesn't actually start school until March!

Her stats last year were

13.9 kg and 94.5cm.

This year they are

15.6kg and 102 cm.

Seems like she has had a real growth spurt in the last year and I guess that explains me actually needing to buy size 3 and 4 pants now!

I can't believe she will be off to school in only 7ish months!

(Edited to fix up her height! Not sure why I put 92.5.)

Busy Day Tomorrow!

Wow what was I thinking saying yes to 3 appointments in a 2 hour time frame tomorrow!! That's right I wasn't thinking! I forgot about each other appointment every time I agreed to another one LOL.

This is what my morning is going to resemble tomorrow:

• 8.30 Kindy
• 9.30 Plunket for Kaitlynn
• 10.00 Mackenzie B4 school check at Kindy
• 11.30 I have an appointment at the hospital
• 12.30 Pick Mackenzie up from Kindy
• Playdate straight after Kindy.

Everything should run on time I'm just worried about the hospital appointment! Apparently it should only take 30 minutes but we'll see.

Will post back tomorrow with the stats for the girls from their appointments.

Weigh In Day

Ihave 17kg to lose to get to a goal weight.

Am wanting to do it by the end of the year. That is just over 20 weeks away. Wish me some luck!!

Bad Day To Start

Turns out Tuesday isn't going to be a good weigh in day!

I have to have Mackenzie at kindy at 8.30 then home to be at my mums work by 9.30. I don't always have my car so some days it's going to be a bit tricky.
So I will weigh in tomorrow morning to kick things off.

Grocery shopping tonight so time to stock up on yummy healthy food. Anyone got any ideas? I generally just get fruit and some crackers and rice wafers. I need some more ideas otherwise I am going to get bored!

Time To Get Back On Track

I have lost all motivation over the last month or two when it comes to exercise. Time to get back on track and start exercising 4-5 times a week! More if I can.

I used to walk 4-5kms everyday! Want to be able to do that but with it being Winter I don't want to take Kaitlynn out on gross days. So will also be using hand weights, Wii Biggest Loser, Wii Fit, Yoga Ball and the Exercycle. So plenty to keep me going at home!

Will also clean out the cupboard of the crap and load it back up with healthier stuff.

So wish me luck I really do need to do it this time!

Our Animals

I am a huge animal lover! So of course I have to have an animal in my house at all times. My house doesn't feel like a home without it!

I thought I would introduce my two other babies.

Henry

Henry was born on the 4th March 2011 (making him exactly one month older than Miss K). I purchased him from a breeder. He is a silver tabby/persian. Has not taken on the persian look at all though! He is a great wee cat. Loves my girls and they love him just as much!

Bella

Bella is our newest baby. We don't know anything about her apart from the fact she is a semi long-haired torti and white kitty. We rescued her from the SPCA. She is the most wonderful cuddly cat ever! Not such a fan of the girls (especially not Kaitlynn) but as long as they are being nice and giving her a good pat she is in love. I am now all for adopting animals from there and for any future animals I may get this will be the way I get them!
