it's a good week

Hello all. I am happy because this week I only have to buy nappies for ONE child now. Yeeha! We ran out for Em on the weekend, so we said nope that's it, no more for her. If she wets she can wash it and remake it. I guess she hasn't wanted to do her own washing because she has been dry since! So happy. Ammon wets now and then, but on average is dry too. This is gonna save me some money. Money we can spend on paint!
We've starting painting the inside of our house. We have done the lounge with Resene Metamorphis. This photo is a bit dark but gives you an idea.
I might change the curtains yet though. Next is the hall then our bedroom. I'm trying to decide between a light blue or a chocolate colour....
The outside of our house is progressing aswell. Scott (Nate's brother) has been painting it for us. On Saturday he did the eaves. We are not in a hurry except it would be nice to get the outside finished before the wet winter arrives. We did the first coat last summer, heck maybe we will finish next summer??
Leah is going to be playing basketball in term 2 (we are quietly stoked she wanted to play as she is not usually interested in team activities, so this will be great for her) and swimming. After school today we are going to get her assessed as to which swim class she should be in. Then we'll pick up the boys from Mum's, home for dinner and get dressed for their school disco tonight. It's an easter theme and Emerson want's to go dressed as a cupcake. Funnily enough we do have a cupcake dressup so that will be easy. Leah doesn't like attention so she'll probably go in her normal clothes.
We are waiting to see if there is a basketball team for Emerson to play in next term, depends on how many children are interested enough to form a team. Otherwise she'd like to play hockey. We'll find out tomorrow. Caleb is signed up for swim lessons again next term, this time in the kids pool instead of the hydrotherapy pool as he's now tall enough to stand up in the pool by himself. Ammon isn't booked into any activities yet, I should think about that.....
Nathan is not enjoying work, he's bored. I still enjoy my work and like how it breaks up my week by only working wed and fri. The boys and I have been having fun outside alot lately in the lovely weather we are having.
