The November Update

I'm sure you're wondering what we've been doing since we came home from the States.

Besides the trip to Sydney, we've been back into our usual routine.  Hunter is doing really well at school, his reading has gotten so good and he's on level 22 now.  His teacher is wonderful and I think she caters to his interests very well to keep him on track.  Kenzie is still loving kindy, and she's been working hard at writing her name, Mackenzie is a LONG name, with difficult letters, she has it tough!

We've been doing swimming lessons again.  Both kids have gone up a level, and have new teachers.  Hunter is an Olly Octopus now, and Kenzie is a Starfish.  Luckily for me, they're both at the same time on the same day, so now we're only there once a week which is perfect.

Last week was challenge week and they both passed and got ribbons!

As for Kingston, well where do I begin??

He's even more of a monkey than usual.  His favourite thing to do is push a chair from the dining table all over the house to open doors, climb on the bench, and cause general havoc.

But he sure is cute!!   He's talking like a book now, and loves to parrot everything we say.

Last night as I was getting dinner ready, he snuck into the pantry and stole the box of weet-bix.

The conversation went something like this:

Me: What have you got?

K: Weet-bix

Me: Put those back, I'm making dinner

K: Noooooo,  I got breakfast!

He's too smart for his own good!

Earlier in the day when I was on the phone, I turned around to see him in the sink.  He pushed the chair over and climbed into the sink so that he could play with the microwave.

Check out Mr Bed-head

As for me, well I've been keeping busy trying to sort through the house, I've booked the movers to come on November 28th, and our flights for November 29th.  So we have about 10 days left.  I'm nervous and excited, but mostly I will just be relieved when we can be all back together.

Craig is frantically searching for a house for us.  It seems there's a shortage of rental properties in Sydney at the moment, so there are always 10 other people looking at the same house.  Finger's crossed he is able to find one soon.

Speaking of Craig, he will be home this weekend! 

Woohoo! I can't wait, we have a lot to get done, and on Sunday we'll have our thanksgiving dinner.

It's all go!
