Abigail and Donna come to visit

While Kikiwa was in Ireland we had a girls weekend with Donna and Abigail! it was so much fun. Atarangi and I had been to the toy library on the thursday before they arrived to make sure we had some fun toys, a beeping moving microwave SO COOL! a baking set, the slide and a crazy bouncy bug that threw a few riders over the weekend :) I didn't snap many pics, couldn't find the chargers for either camera (surprise!) but got a few on the phone. again - not the best, Kikiwa says its the photographer but seriously... I blame the phone camera.  ON friday after we picked the girls up from the airport we went straight to baby focus, then home for a snack and nap and I made my first ever grown up batch of play dough! we had no food colouring so it was boring white but turned out pretty good. The Nelson sunshine hid away most of the stay but came out sunday. On Saturday, once we had transferred the car seats back to the car because the new truck wouldn't start, we went to the baby bonanza in Hope, the girls ate a sausage each! and then we whizzed off to the markets for some more food before it was home for the nap again. sunday was a day for the park, lunch at the beach cafe and ice creams back at the park again before a quick nap in the car for the wee girls then off to the airport again. it was a busy busy weekend but so much fun and so cool seeing Abigail and Atarangi interact! especially when Atarangi was off on her adventures and trying to get Abigail to come with her (showing her how to climb the wall haha) and happily sitting back watching Abigail work the microwave. here's hoping we can do it all again soon.

Foraging

Atarangi was a bit under the weather so we missed Baby Focus again.. you can see a large dribble of snot coming down.. but we were both getting a bit of cabin fever so we bundled up and headed into the garden for a bit of foraging.

 

Yum Feijoas! Yum Jalapenos and OMG a lemon from our tree, tiny but still.. possibly the first ever in the 6 years I have had it.
