Sunday Part 1: North Head & Cheltenham Beach
I don’t really need to say much, the pictures really show how awesome the morning was! Exlporing North Head at 9am was a great idea, there was no-one around.
Ethans 3rd Birthday week!
After a super fun week of celebrating Ethan’s 3rd birthday we have reached the end of the party (sigh….). It began on Tuesday with a special day at Kindy. The lovely teachers painted all of the children’s faces, made play-dough birthday cakes and Ethan handed out cupcakes made by Mum and Lolly-pops to his friends at the end of the morning; Then came Wednesday, Ethan’s actual birthday. He got a huge surprise when after opening all of his presents, we blindfolded him and took him outside where Dave threw him onto his new trampoline!
Ethan at kindy, ready to deal out the cakes, unfortunately he scoffed back 4 before I noticed!
He was still half asleep as he checked out his inside prezzies…
…..then came the blindfold…
and the best present ever! (I know I’M really enjoying it!)
New clothes from Meemee, Nana Vickie and Aunt Tompie
Birthday morning: AT the bus stop with best mate Dan
First stop: Mairangi Bay playground
Birthday dinner with Nana and Grandad, and wonderful gifts!
The Party on Saturday. I made a special ocean themed cheesecake (Ethan’s favourite), it had a giant handmade chocolate Marlin leaping out of it. I though it was great, but Ethan thought the colour was all wrong, I was informed for future reference that cheesecake’s do not have blue glaze. Well there you go.
Ethan gave it a good shot, but just couldn’t eat the whole chocolate marlin in one sitting.
A very small beach….
But the most beautiful beach, 5 minutes walk from our house, oh bliss! The last pic is one of my most favourite pics I have ever taken!
On the Mummy Blog: Ethan and Dave’s Zoo trip
While I was up north on the girls trip, Ethan and Dave spent Saturday at the Auckland Zoo. They had such a primo day, the weather was great and the animals were pretty frisky from all accounts!
On the Mummy Blog: Super Sunny Sunday!
After a beautiful weekend up North at Mangawai Heads with some lovely ladies (thanks Ro!), I returned home to a stunning day and my two boys playing in the back yard. After some work in the vege garden and a nap for Ethan we headed to Long Bay Beach for a late afternoon swim.
On the Mummy Blog: Ethan blew out an axle!
The unthinkable has happened, Ethan’s favourite ride-on-plastic-fantastic motorbike has done it’s last jump, completed its last lap around the yard, and had it’s last crash into Mum’s garden. The rear axle has blown out, we are still waiting for an insurance quote at this stage, …
