Took a bunch of kids to Flip Out today for a couple of hours and then back to ours for ice cream and popcorn. Flip Out is a great place to go for a special activity. It is a tad expensive, but they have a ball and no screens involved! And it is physically fun for them too.
We went to Kmart via the sushi shop on the way for lunch.
Thanks to the kind person who found one of our phones and handed it in.
As schools break up and kids, parents and teachers get to have a change of pace and have a rest from the books - I am grateful for the good teachers. The ones who actually do call back when they are asked to, the ones who take time to text you when they know you are wondering how your kids are going, the ones who make your kids feel like they are doing well and the ones who treat kids as people and not just 'bodies to boss around'. I am grateful for the other kids who are good value and good fun and support each other and look out for each other. I am grateful for the parents who make a point of communicating with each other and let each other know things.
And now I am so thankful for the holidays!
Happy Holidays to all you parents and caregivers out there, and to all you teachers out there and all those other vital people who work in schools.
Blessings on you all!

(Just around the corner from Heretaunga Street East, beside Stanton Print) They had beautiful table cloths and evening bags plus lots of clothing. Not sure of their opening days and hours, but well worth a look if you are keen to find a treasure. They also had children's clothing for $1 per item, but not sure if this is still running.

The Village Pools are open

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Despite the “CLOSED” sign at the front of the pools, they are open for the season.

Apparently someone lost the OPEN sign, and instead of putting the little hand made sign over the big CLOSED sign, some numpty decided to put it at the bottom of the new Village Pools sign, so no one could see … View more
Despite the “CLOSED” sign at the front of the pools, they are open for the season.

Apparently someone lost the OPEN sign, and instead of putting the little hand made sign over the big CLOSED sign, some numpty decided to put it at the bottom of the new Village Pools sign, so no one could see it.
It did make for a not too crowded swim this afternoon, when we finally figured out they were open.

I feel sorry for all the people who didn’t realise, and ended up going home when they saw the Closed sign. We passed a few looking hot and miserable, going the other way.
