December 2020 - Hakihea

Heading in to Christmas and some relaxing, sunny days


Dry packing YW activity
An awesome cuzzy day at Rainbow's End for Indie's 4th birthday






The beginnings of yet ANOTHER bead necklace project


The mountain of school stuff that comes home from 4 chidlren is quite something to behold. This was just a fraction of what I had to sort through












Faith and I did a water, banana, pringles drop off to Dad and Romeo at a job in Mt Eden

Fluffy boys special movie day. I think he was supposed to wear pjs and take one soft toy. Of course that meant take 5 toys and a blanket

Just casually walking around Albany mall

The end of a towel era. This lil beauty has been in the family since March 2010 and she finally got put out to pasture this month
Some of the lollies that were paid for by $20 that Dallin and Seth took off the pantry. To say Dad and I were disappointed and angry was an understatement!




Date night with my man and the 16/17 year old youth

A bit of light reading for this little reader

Faith looking a bit something when her letter from herself arrived. Mrs Brown gets the kids to write to themselves at the end of Year 6 and then she posts them out the following year


Our new/old fence looks amazing!

Having christmas lunch with Elder and Sister Poll. It was awesome to spend time with them and introduce them to a typica kiwi christmas lunch and pavlova




Another christmas day feast on boxing day

Bob n I rode down to the Warehouse on Lincoln Rd for her to buy a new dress she's been wanting for a while

2021 goal setting


Year done. It was good for us but unfortunately not for many.
Bring on 2021, a new start is always exciting!

November 2020 - Whiringa-ā-rangi

I didn't take many pic during November and I'm blaming that on my botched jaw procedure that had me in a whole world of pain and discomfort. Thank goodness for Rachel the Osteopath!

What a fun afternoon we had at the pools with the Chch Ormsbys




And an awesome sunday with them attending our ward and then coming back to ours for a big lunch



Dad in the middle of some number crunching/brain frying/working out a tender



Faith had to do a service day where she worked in the community and any money she made had to be given to school. She wasn't too impressed with the giving away money part so I think she made a deal with her boss to give some and keep some!



I bought this when Faith was about 18 months old for her eczema and it's been with us ever since.
A solid 11 years!



Dalls is a reluctant reader no more thanks to her reading points chart where she adds up the pages she's read over multiple books and earns prizes. Brilliant idea we both thought but the other kids were pretty salty about it...rightly so cause I never did anything like this for them



When Pete and B's car was 'stolen' at Westcity

Oh no, no drama afterall. They went to the wrong level of the carpark!


Our delicious haul from the Food Show. Pete and B bought us tickets and they went for a date the night before us. What a cool, yummy, different night out!
