Stuff Lately x 30

90 % sure we're gonna start guitar lessons this year. Just gotta save up for the first term so we can buy the guitars first! Music lessons aren't cheap!

Dad got her ready for bed this night (obviously?!?!) Not a bad idea cause their room was like a sauna. When are we moving to Australia....never!

Super exciting when Dad comes in with a surprise lunch of BK. They almost got into the bag they were so excited

Faith's new fave job....ticking off the books on the library receipt before we return them

So cute to watch this boy go rock climbing with his sissy, especially when he sat down on the mat to listen to the instructions. He looked all grown up all of a sudden and I felt sad he's not my baby anymore :(. Kinda awkward, but just have to point out that Joe put Ella's harness on way too tight, hence the big bulge in her leggings!

2nd Wendy's in 3 days I think

He's got to write his name when he gets to Kindy every morning so we're practising at home now

Jaimee-Munroe's Aloha party....so cool!

I've hidden this for the last 3 months or so but now it's been put in the back of my car to bin. Was good while it lasted Grandie, but now it's like a magnet for everything, and the girls love wearing it on the hottest of days!

Fruit for the ninja...win!

$5 of going bad fruit and I can make smoothies for days!

This doesn't really show how bad Faith's face was but she came in yesterday from Patty's cause the dog licked her face....just proves that she's really allergic to dogs. It' puffed it right to her eye and took about 5 hours to come down

Delicious new dinner (for Joe and I at least)
Spicy roasted chickpeas on homemade pits breads
Lettuce and tomatoes from the garden of course, every night at the moment I'm getting something from the garden

New dessert creation, sweet pastry with mascarpone, lemon honey & peaches + custard.

Books for Ella D

Books for Faithy K

Don't think I'll ever Duraseal again! Still got a sore back from doing it for so many house yesterday!

Post Post Christmas

2nd Annual Trip up north to Awarua with Dad 

Thanks Aunty Natty! Youcam win!

One of my holiday jobs was to put all the kids keepsake stuff into 1 box. So happy with these ones that I ended up getting

New Years day was pretty low key....so low key that I found these guys kipping our on my bed at one stage

And this is how the lounge stayed for most of the day. Loved the Buzz challenge

Pretty gross pic but this doesn't even do a fraction of justice to how bad Dall's random spew was one night. Not cool Dalls!

Julie Papoolies 1st Birthday party (after we got back from Parakai).

This girl looks more edible than her cake!

One last night time snuggle with Aunty B before she headed back to Oz :(

Super duper sad that the Stoners went home :(

Better for a moment when we found Macs iPad in the car. I think they'd sit like this 24/7 if we had one! And they'd probably all have black eyes and bite marks over iPad fights.

Money for our Goldie Julie Account. We will get there....one day....Promise!

Flippn' delicious breakfast the day after the party....sticky date pudding dripping with cream. Could do with a big bowl of that right now!

Chips from Julie's party 2 days later!!!!

Some pics from my other cammy....

'I can't sleep Mum cause I really miss Julie'

On Saturday we had the coolest family date with the Duncan's. Gotta go to Sydney (Woolongong) one day!
