The Truckas: Movie Night and fush and chups
http://thetruckas.blogspot.com/2010/04/movie-night-and-fush-and-chups.html
Sunday, July 4, 2010. Movie Night and fush and chups. We have a tradition of "Movie Night" where the kids (and sometimes mom and dad too) watch a movie and have some candy or popcorn. This may have been that night, or it may have been some very patient grandparents watching a camcorder recording of Lazlo's school operetta "Hone the Kiwi". The kids are getting big enough that this is often the only cuddle time we get! Gramma Martha was a thumb sucker too! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Truckas: December 2009

Saturday, December 26, 2009. He also had a little time alone with each of the kids, and took Lazlo to the movie theater (Lazlo's first time) and walked downtown with Liska for gelato at a cafe. We miss him a ton, but feel lucky he got to come again and to stay for so long and can't wait to see him (and Grandma Molly! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A Day at the Park.

The Truckas: September 2009

Tuesday, September 29, 2009. Hone the Kiwi Bird. I have to admit I was a little anxious about it. Most of the kids sang one song on stage, but Lazlo had lines throughout the entire 45 minute production. Rehearsal at home didn't go too well (can't blame him, he is worn out by 4pm) so I was relieved they practiced at school. Not surprisingly, rehearsal improved once he started getting attention for it from the teachers and big kids. We'll post the video soon, but here are some pictures. Barb's Visit, Part 2.

The Truckas: November 2009

Friday, November 13, 2009. The Accident Compensation Corporation. The Accident Compensation Corporation provides comprehensive, no-fault personal injury cover for all New Zealand residents and visitors to New Zealand. This means that almost all injuries are paid for. Apparently, until recently, if you were a robber breaking into someone's house and you got injured in the process, that injury would be covered as well. The flip side is that you are not allowed to sue for injuries covered by ACC.

Thursday, May 27, 2010. What Lazlo really thinks of me. At dinner the subject of royalty came up last night. Lazlo said "Daddy is the king of our family". When I asked him if I was the queen he said "No, you're just a parrot who squawks around saying 'Do this! I would be more offended if I didn't agree with him. Saturday, May 22, 2010. Tuesday, May 18, 2010. As she stood at the top of the dune, ready to jump into the pit, Liska said "This is the place I used to dream of before we came to New Zealand".

Monday, March 29, 2010. Gramma Barb's Visit 2010, Part IV. If we could live in New Zealand forever, Wanaka would be one of our first choices. Like many towns here, it's tiny, but it is built on a beautiful lake surrounded by snow-capped mountains. The kids loved the playground downtown and watching the water skiers and kayakers on the lake. Gramma Barb's Visit 2010, Part III. We also had a great afternoon in the Botanical Gardens. They were beautiful! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A Day at the Park.

Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Gramma Martha and Grampa Paul in New Zealand. In a change from previous posts, this is Brad (not Michelle) writing. Wednesday, June 23, 2010. Saturday, June 19, 2010. Tuesday, June 15, 2010. Sunday, June 6, 2010. She isn't one of the best players on her team, but she is aggressive and will plow anyone over for the ball. My girl is scrappy, which means "a person who is little but who can really kick some ass". I am so proud of her. Wednesday, June 2, 2010. Here are some photos fr...

Tuesday, January 26, 2010. Letters to Santa 2009. On Christmas Eve, Lazlo and Liska decided to write letters to Santa Claus:. Here are some cookies and milk for you and some carrots for your reindeer in case you are hungry. I hope you saw the magic oats we sprinkled outside to help you find our house. I hope you bring me a Star Wars Lego. Please come into my room, it's the pink one with twinkling stars. Please leave Rudolph there forever so I can have him as a pet. If you don't, I'll steal him.
