Cheshire Cat (26 Feb 09)

Off to Napier for the weekend to see Lionel Ritchie in concert at the Mission Estate Winery. Can't wait. Should be good... alcohol, nibbles and BABY SITTERS! So this is how I'm feeling:

Hope you all have a lovely weekend too!

Motorbike... By Myself & No Earmuffs! (22 Feb 09)

Luke has finally decided the motorbike ISN'T too noisy so he DOESN'T need his earmuffs! So here he is being a BIG BOY and riding it all by himself, without the earmuffs... So proud of himself! (and so are Mummy & Daddy!) Can you hear the sounds he's making from those pursed lips? It sounded like "rrrmmmmmm, rrrrmmmmmm". And don't you LOVE the obstacle course??

At the Beach (6 Feb 09)

Waitangi Day! And what a beautiful sunny day it was. We had Nana and Grandad staying, along with cousins Scott and Jeremiah - we had just had Grandad's 80th birthday party at our house the night before and what a night it was.

Anyway, back to Waitangi Day. We went down to the beach for a picnic lunch, swim and play. Here is Nana showing Luke shells and seaweed.

Oooh, Luke's got some starfish!

And look at this great ditch the boys (Daddy, Scott... and Luke) are making. It doubled up as a swimming hole when the tide came in. Such a good idea!

Georgia & Luke (14 Feb 09)

After gymnastics, we went back to Maree & Eion's for morning tea and playtime. Georgia and Luke had a ball - they are so alike and always play really nicely together. Here's some cute pics - Luke did give her a kiss but the camera didn't click fast enough!

The Big Green Bear (23 Feb 09)

At daycare today, Luke made a 'bear' hat with ears on it, painted it and could then put it on and be a big green bear. Being the exciteable "I can't wait" little boy that he is, he decided to wear it PRIOR to the paint drying... and gave himself this lovely green/yellow hair. But you have to agree, he's a cute little bear!

Sharing A Smoothie (15 Feb 09)

Daddy had to go to Australia for work for a week, so Mummy & Luke headed out to the airport to make sure he went... no, really to give him lots of hugs and kisses... and make sure he went!! ha ha

Daddy decided to get a smoothie and 3 straws so we could all share it. Luke thought that was fabulous.

This Little Piggy (Jan 09)

Mummy & Luke had Rana, Sophie and Nathan over visiting from Australia for the day. We were having a great old time playing outside when Rana said "Kim, there's a pig walking down the road, heading this way!". Well of course, I was thinking "What??!!" when Rana said "Kim, the pig is coming down the driveway!". And here it is! Turn's out the pig's name is Lola and she is an escape artist from our neighbours.

The kids thought she was great... as long as she didn't look at them and head their way! We gave her some bread and she followed us back over the road and halfway up the neighbours driveway, then realised where she was and promptly turned around and hoofed it back to our house!

We finally got the neighbours to come and get her... but what excitement for the morning!!
