Frolicking Through the Daffodils

We went on a kindy trip to pick daffodils to make Eden feel better - worked momentarily!

Lily was a big help, carrying Eden's bucket for her (and picking most of the flowers for her!)

Eden with her bunch...

Lily with hers...

Eden liked putting hers in a vase when we got home

Trumpet Blowing

After being sick for what feels like ages and still not being 100% yet (one meaning of the trumpet blowing comment!), I've actually had a great start to the week...
Here are the flowers I made for the top of a 60th Wedding Anniversary cake for this weekend (a posy for the top and some little daisies to go around the bottom - I'm being sent a photo of the finished cake)And two of my kids and my husband will be on the Pope's coffee table! Explaination: I uploaded some of my Sydney photos to a website, they then chose around 100 to make into a book for the Pope - I got 3 in (I think that was the max from each person) - pretty cool really! Now all we need is an invite for afternoon tea with him...
not sure if this works if you don't log in (someone will tell me!) but here's the link I used...

An Icy Fathers Day

Not sure if Mike liked Fathers Day as much as Grand-da - we went to a party on Saturday night so the kids stayed at Nannie and Grand-da's - I was off the hook for cooking breakfast! And it was Nannie that had to put the hundred layers on the kids so we could go on our adventure!

Showing the kids how much further...
Just look at that face!
Mike took great delight in taking many photos of me upside down!
Turns out I was the toboggan more often than not...
At least it was Daddy getting "attacked"!
Tasty? I think she understands the "don't eat yellow snow" rule from Happy Feet!
Lily's version of mountain climbing
Only these two would choose the dirty snow to play in!
Great Fathers Day!
On the way down the mountain we did (some of) the bush walk...this is when my camera batteries died :(

Weeknight Rugby

At least there was Friday to recover! We're getting recognised now too!
And Hawkes Bay's now second equal on the NPC table - two more home games left until the semi's...

Fathers' Night

A few shots Mike took at Fathers' Night at Kindy (Lachie rang and asked the teachers if he could come too - didn't want to miss the chance to go and play at Kindy! Eden and I had a great time at home alone)

Eden Having Fun

I've been pretty sick, just starting to get better and needed to get a few things at the shops...Eden might be getting it too, but she was very happy at the park!

Tree Planting

Lily drew this picture about what we did yesterday...

This is the photo (that she hasn't seen yet!)
A princess, even in the rain and mud! All the kids walking up the path


The kids up the hill
The kids doing what kids do best! Family portrait...

Shrek Goes to the Disco

Getting a fair amount of milage out of the outfit! This time for the school disco...
Pull a Shrek face!
With Meghan, the little old woman...
With Rhys, the Power Ranger...
With Emma, the green fairy...
With Spiderman, aka Riley (took a awhile to figure this one out!)
With Robert, the cowboy...
With Lucy, the pink fairy...
Lachie had so much fun (and wanted all the photos with his friends, shame we missed a few!)Winning best dressed...(that's the dj/principal in that funky hair and hat! And Lachie was happy that he wasn't following up with his threat of "kicking out the kids that don't dance"!)
Emma won best dressed too - is this prom king and queen???
And he even got to dance with Jo! (teacher-aide)

Roll on the next one, I say!
