A Random Post about STUFF and Happenings

Not much energy and not much time right now!!

COUNTING down to the 2 week school holiday that starts at the end of this week.

20c Te Kuiti op shopped dress.

Currently 34 weeks..
HEAVY bump..

Another Bird's Eye View (lol)
I will have to get some decent bump shots soon..

MATARIKI
which is a mid-winter festival celebrating the appearance of the 7 stars (Pleiades)

Family celebration - soup smorgasboard..

..and ice cream sundaes.
Kids in heaven with their cousins.
Great way to make the dreary weather disappear!

Gil and his 7th birthday..

Party @ the avantidrome

Waikato people with kids - I hope you've all been to the Avantidrome - SO MUCH FUN!!

Iris (in the middle of pic on a scooter) and Arlo hooning around the 'roads'. Learning traffic rules and etiquette. LOL

Can't resist crochet blankets if I spy them in an oppy.

And these place mats were 50c and too cool to be eaten on! I shall have to turn them into something else!

Happy Days!

Lovely Day for a Party..

 Iris wanted to invite every child from kindy, every child from playgroup, every cousin, every one of her siblings' friends etc.. I had to limit it - she is a social butterfly..

So we had a little backyard gathering for assorted pixies, fairies and ladybugs..

The weather yesterday was very spring-like.

Perfect!

Needless to say, everything you see in the photos (apart from the lovely children of course) is thrifted or handmade...
except the toadstools - I hired them from sweetcheeks (I like to support local small businesses, and it's essential to have a toadstool or 2 at a fairy party isn't it?!)

Pixie Ted and Arlo

(sidenote: I got to have cuddles with this gorgeous teeny fairy - she is our little next-door-neighbour and she was 800g when she was born! She is now 4 months old and so adorable)

Birthday Irises!

Happy Day!

(ed: if you're looking at this a second time 
- spot the difference! 
One of the photos has been C.R.O.P.P.E.D!!
My lungs just looked too damn big lol)
