The weekend with a glorious Saturday

Hi,

Friday night we had our work function to attend - a quiz night.  It was great fun although we came a solid middle-of-the-table.  Shame I know nothing about politics and economics!

Hannah was babysitting Toby and I know Toby had a lot of fun.  Mainly because he whispered to me as he was going to sleep "I like Hannah".  Yep - me too, Toby.

In fact, Hannah stayed with us as we took Toby swimming.  We popped into Borders to check out their book sale and then out to Lower Hutt to the pool.  As we entered we saw Brennan!  How weird is that.  He had had a sleepover at a friend's house just around the corner from the pool.  So after swimming we collected him and took Hannah and Brennan to Cafe 162 in Karori for lunch.  Off to the Sampson house afterwards to drop off kids (although we kept Brennan) then home to play.

Wally also popped around to have a coffee - and fix our freezer door with Mike!  Funny!  It is much better now!  Ta!  And then Jonathan came over for his sleepover.  Toby and Jonathan had a ball playing together and then having dinner and watching a movie.  They both slept in the tv room.

Sunday morning they were up early.  Do you call 4am early?  Or is that technically still the day before!!!!  It felt like it.  I think they got at least one more hours sleep once I sent them back to bed.  But Toby did look pale all day so I think he was pretty tired.  Jonathan was collected at 9:30am and Mike started demolition work once more.

We had lunch at the Bichans and enjoyed catching up with everyone.  Then Mike and Sally drove to 40WLW via Dick Smith and bought a wi-fi router and Mike installed it successfully!  Yay!

We stayed so long we had tea there too!  Then home to an early bed!

Great weekend.  I heard from Mum and Dad twice - so perhaps they are missing us.  Questions about Toby are always high on the list when we speak.  Maybe they miss Toby even more!  They have a car already and will hear today about a rental house they would like.  It is almost a try-before-you-buy as it is in the complex they are keen on.  At least they'll know for sure.

Have a marvellous week.
Love,
Angela
