Getting ready for Christmas, some sewing one Sunday morning
After a morning stuck inside making Buzz Lightyear, a big trip to the park was needed!
Lily's having some trouble sleeping...but when she does, some of the poses are photo-worthy to show her in the morning!
Luke's birthday party! Cooper, with Lachie's help, giving Buzz his coloring competition prepared earlier in exchange for a party bag
Luke ran up to Buzz and gave him a big hug when he arrived, it was so cute! Buzz took the kids on an obstacle course around the park, ending with roly poly's and cartwheels!
And I didn't do the cake! Amanda made a wonderful cake, iced it in light blue, all I had to add were the fairy floss clouds, Buzz and the name plaque!
Then after some shopping, and splashing around with Sophie, we went out to the farm for the afternoon. Eden meeting Goldie
Plenty of cuddles! Wonder how big she'll be in a month, and whether she'll remember Eden!
Lily rescued this gecko from TinTin the cat (she told everyone at school she had tuatara blood all over her hands, was a wee bit of gecko blood!)
Lachie's class is doing restaurants this week. Lachie and his group were first up on Monday, cooking four courses for 6 class guests (after the groups had designed their menus, they could choose which restaurant they wanted to go to). Lachie was in charge of the brownie.
Their restaurant was called the Cowboy Cafe and they served popcorn, crumbed chicken and bacon rolls, brownie, strawberry smoothies and ginger beer.
The guests ate on the stage at lunchtime with a lot of onlookers!
Then after school Lachie made another brownie for Grand-da's birthday.
He got to light the candles too
Followed by traffic light ice blocks! So glad there so much more than lemonade ice blocks around for summer with natural colorings!!!
The next day was Cooper's half birthday...two and a half!! Although he tried to convince me that he's 15! two and a half candles to blow out before morning tea
A bit of icing sugar...then headed up to Hastings to buy a new Christmas tree! It's up and decorated, photos on another post...
And tonight after swimming we headed to Kingfisher Gifts in Waipawa where the fabulous Kiri and Meredith are having a massive fundraiser shopping night, still an hour left if you want to go! Santa was genuinely lovely, gave the kids a present each and a lollypop and happily posed for photos (look at my shy, cautious baby on his knee, easy!). We bought some gorgeous decorations (new tree=more space!). Well done ladies!
