My big girls π. April is off to a good start with our visit to a new playground last weekend. I’ve realised that I get really grumpy when we’re not doing anything over the weekend, it makes me feel as if I’m not giving the girls good experiences and adventures outside of school.

I’m not a great mum most of the time, too impatient and bad tempered. But I do try my best to make sure they have a fun and happy childhood, I want them to see the world, experience different cultures, see new things, just like what my parents did for us.

My latest obsession is about getting them their own bedrooms. Saitaoha is such a neat freak and looks after her own things so well, it feels wrong that she doesn’t have her own space. Sigh this is a work in progress but I hope I can let her have her own room soon.

The start of the Easter holidays has been good, we went out shopping after work on Thursday, something we haven’t done for a long time because we’re usually tired after work and school and just stay in on school nights. We didn’t buy anything and didn’t have anything to buy haha, but it was fun just window shopping. The kids had their second dinner of nuggets and chips π and enjoyed it very much.

It’s going to be really busy at work after Easter , but I think I’m finding my groove and it’s nice to know people around the organisation now, I think I’m settling in. I’m determined to have fun with the girls this Easter holidays though and have lots of things planned for us. Woo hoo to a fun Easter break.
