Friday fun

Big day today.

Early start with tradies electrifying our garage doors. Hooray!!! I'm just a little bit excited for push button access.

Then off to Julia's for coffee & play with Sebby & Grace (oh & mama goss) then home for sleep for the monkey & some QT girl time with Miss Lola, who came to hang out for the arvo.

I just love that little princess! While Kahu slept we had cups of tea & big cuddles on the couch. Lovely!

Then of course her BFF claimed all her attention when he woke. Dancing, singing, yelling, racing cars, and having snacks & naps together.

 They're just so cute together ;-)

And to top off our busy day JuJu has come to stay for the weekend. Kahu's big bro & just one of his absolute favourite people.

Big day indeed!

Clockwise L-R JuJu & Kahu, Kahu & Sebby, pulling faces with Lola & Kahu, BFF naps

Weekend again...

The great thing about a long weekend is that I get an even shorter work week, well unless you have to go into the office for a staff meeting on your day off.  Yawn...then it's technically still work right?

Lucky I have lovely Mama friends that will look after the monkey for me so I can play the professional - thanks Lu ;-)

But I did get to spend a couple of hours at the salon getting the greys covered and the hair straightened...oh and an awesome head massage, and QT to read all the trashy mags - lovely!

The new 'do'

I must remember to try and book hair-cuts in when I have something glamourous on like date night with the hubby...the chances I will actually blow dry my hair like this myself are pretty slim!

New cuteness with Kahu is cleaning his teeth with Papa....well we are trying to teach him about oral hygiene.  We havent got the toilet training or eating fruit and/or vegetables down yet but his teeth will be shiny & white!

Weekend in pictures

Baking red velvet cupcakes, farmers market, dinners with friends, battling extreme weather, doggie & kiddie playdates, hanging with little people, visiting Grandma & spending QT with my boys.....

I love a long weekend!

Clean up day

Post Australia Day storm clean up day - lots of debris & mud in the backyard. Hubby got onto that while the monkey did his bit inside.

He's not too young right?

Australia Day

What a crazy day!

Started off with little sleep coz of a fire in the scrub at the top of our hill overnight, which had us 'ready for evac' late into the night.

Markets at EPIC for excellent coffee, pastries & farm fresh produce - nice. Home to a bunch of chores, out shopping again and then a family arvo nap - yay!

Up at 5pm to watch the storm roll on before it hit around 7pm. Absolutely crazy! We got some water damage thru our windows & the garage but relatively unscathed compare to some of our friends. Our poor puppy Titus was less than impressed with all the lightening & thunder - poor pooch!

Still a vino & dinner with friends & 'new Australian citizens' made up for the dramas.

Macarons & haircuts

It's been a couple of busy workdays since my last post. Not too much to muse upon.

But today is Thursday - my weekend begins! Thank freakin' goodness.

Started off with a 6am Ride gym class (I know - what the?), then a morning of running around getting things ready for the monkeys 2nd birthday. I mean where has the last year gone?

Lunch at Flute with the little guy & then home for naps and more domestics.

Oh and the boy had a haircut - super short & super cute!! Followed by some water play in the backyard with the pup.

Hubby bought home a new Nespresso as our old one went kaput, and you know how much I love coffee

All this & a macaron - delish

Nice long weekend ahead - Gotta love a National Holiday!

Happy Australia Day weekend!

Monday cheeky face

Monday - ugh!!!!!

Work - yawn.

But at least coming home to this cheeky dude makes the day more bearable!
