So, what's to say about the last few days? Sunday was church, morning and afternoon, and between that we spent a relaxed afternoon at the Lucas's. After the afternoon service Nick and the boys went to the park with three other families, while Bronwyn and I scoffed cheese rolls in her kitchen (cheese rolls are not what you may be thinking - these are pieces of bread spread with a mix of cheese, onion soup and boiling water, rolled up, and then toasted - yummmmm!) and google-earthed our childhood homes. Monday was churchschool, thankfully the last week of school at the church before we move into our own place next week and can resume HOMEschool. In the afternoon I took the boys to town and acquired a 'vehicle infringement fee' for not displaying a receipt for parking on my dashboard. In utter ignorance I had paid for the parking when I returned to the car and was surprised to find the slip under the wiper. Doh. Tuesday was like Monday except we had pizza for lunch (takeaways which we took away to Caroline Bay), I didn't get any parking tickets, and we had a super tea with Les and Marg Nieuwoudt, a lovely SAcan couple in our church who also happen to be the parents of one of St Helena Baptist's previous pastors. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening with them, as did the boys who got to play with tumbling monkeys and chinese puzzles.
Today has largely followed the pattern of the regular stuff - school (and it's been going so much better the last few days after much prayer), browsing for furniture on TradeMe (we now have a queen bed), attending to various relocation admin things (got the boys' homeschool exemption application posted), and time at home. And I did prep for my first 'Bible in Schools' lesson at Waimataitai school which happens tomorrow morning. Still today we have Miriam's fishy dish tea and bible study to look forward to (the former has been sitting invitingly on the stovetop for the past while causing much dribble and temptation).
