Couple of weeks ago I made an impulse decision to drive to the Naki for the weekend to watch Taranaki defend the Ranfurley Shield. Sophie thought it would be a great idea to tag along and catch up with Nana and Auntie Rochelle too. We left Saturday afternoon and came back Sunday night. The Naki defended the shield and we all had a great time!

Sweet view
The kids are getting really well together as the photo's show below. Soph's also reading Max books and mothering him loads. Max is at that age where he must do EVERYTHING by himself. It's cute but also extremely frustrating, especially when you are running late and you're trying to get him dressed for kidsklub and he wants to undo or do up all his buttons (which takes about 15 minutes!). He's talking a lot more too obviously, he can't pronounce his 's' at all - so poor old Soph is known as Gofi now.
Sophie is enjoying school still and seems to be making lots of friends - she has had a couple of after school play dates with classmates recently too. The only shitter is the school has changed their policy which now means if you enroll you kid and move out of zone within 1 year (which we did) then they have the right to remove the child from school, and the other new rule is siblings no longer have automatic entry if you live out of zone. It's a real concern because she loves the school so much but we may have to move her.
