What shall we do over the holidays?

Tonight all 3 of us sat down with a pen and paper and decided to make a list of 'things to do' over the holidays. We explained to Josh that we had to choose some things that are 'free' and others that cost a little money.

So far .... this is what is on the list - some were suggestions by us but have only been listed if Josh has agreed to them! It goes without saying ... we are going to be busy!

• Go and see the movie, SHREK 3D
• Just simply relax and get out of bed when we feel like it - and maybe have a day or two when Josh doesn't get out of his jarmies until midday!
• Play on the WII (having borrowed the Star Wars game from Spencer)
• Take his bike and scooter down to the Rec Centre and try all the ramps on the new circuit
• Go and see the movie 'TOY STORY'
• Make up the Amazing Clock Kit he received from Grandma & Grandad for his birthday
• Have Tomo here for a sleepover (no surprises there!)
• Go swimming at H2O Extreme and go down ALL the water slides including the big yellow one and visit Granney Cranney on the way home
• Design, paint and build his own toy glider (another birthday project)
• Climb to the top of Mt KauKau - and back down again!
• Read say 10 books from his literacy award list
• Sell some more Scots College cookbooks to try and win the competition
• Organise a playdate with Ruby & Daisy who have moved into a house just round the corner (yay, it is so great to have them back in the neighbourhood)
• Practise some online mathematics
• Possibly a family trip up north to play in the snow with Clare & Vince, Luca, Anes and Elise
• Have some fun with 'word-find' puzzles
• Fly our kite
• Have a sleep-over with big-boy Enzo
• Have Aunty Karen and Uncle Terry in here for a sleep-over
• Bake cookies - and eat some dough BEFORE they go in the oven
• Practise soccer with Daddy down at the park so he can feel more confident to join in at school soccer
• With Mummy's help, work on a project which is to design and make up a board game for his class at school
• Go for a bike ride down the Hutt River
• Take Huddy for lots of swims at Lyall Bay and then chill out at Maranui Cafe with hot chocolates and marshmellows
• Go fishing and catch heaps of fish for dinner and then barbeque them (mmm, okay we might need some help here - where are you Malcolm?)
• Participate on a few days at the School Holiday Programme at Scots
• Visit Time-Zone
• Go and see Aunty Margaret & Uncle Apples on the train and maybe have a sleepover at their house
• Lots and lots of play-dates with lots and lots of friends from both Seatoun & Scots Prep School
• Play board games at night - Monopoly and Junior Scrabble being the top 2
• Book in for a hot spa at the swimming pool
• Eats lots of ice-creams & lollies!
• Go to bed really late
• Play rugby on Saturday

We may NEED a holiday after all of the above .... standby for us reporting in!
