TOOTH.... GROCERIES.... WEIGH IN..... GRANDMA!

SO, unbeknownst to us, Keera had her first baby tooth ready to fall out.  She showed Kelly yesterday.
I got a cute little video of her telling me about it... and what she wanted from the Tooth Fairy:




ABOVE:  A PHONE!  Ha ha ha!  Like... NOPE.  Kids nowdays!  
She will wake up to $5, which she can spend at the toy shop... I'm sure we can find a toy phone. (which I'm sure will be more than $5, but that's what Grandparents are for, right?).

Stew had taken today off work, primarily so he can go up to Auckland to pick up my Mum and Ron this afternoon.

This morning we are doing the grocery shopping.  Kill me now.

After the shopping I shall quickly pop into Weight Watchers to weigh in for the week.  I didn't get there last night, I was too rushed and crabby.

Stew will be leaving for Auckland at around 2 pm, so I will have all afternoon to prepare a lovely dinner for when they get back.

ABOVE:  Granddad trying to get the tooth out, but his fingers were too big.  Keera was freaking out, poor kid.  Fear of the unknown.

 ABOVE:  2nd attempt, this time by Brylee, cos she had the smallest fingers... and she did it in two seconds flat.  
Keera bawled for all of 10 seconds, then realised that it didn't hurt and was happy again.

ABOVE:  First gap.  First of many of course.  

ONWARD...

1.45 pm:  And Stew and I are home from Hamilton.  We got a hire car booked for my Mum, pick up tomorrow.  HAD planned on doing the grocery shopping, but it was raining cats 'n' dogs so we gave that idea miss.

I went to Weight Watchers, where I recorded a loss of 1.1 kilos... and I bought this:

ABOVE:   A lovely BIG mug for winter soups/stews etc.  I can go in the microwave, and has a travel safe lid with steam vent.  I think it's lovely and will be perfect for my winter lunch time soups.

We spent a good amount of time looking for something a bit NON-BLACK for me to wear on Sunday... as Stew felt I shouldn't be in black.
But, after looking at The Base and Chartwell Square, we came home with nothing.

My problem is, while the clothes are lovely, the body is not... and everything just looked like a bloody tent on me, or too 'matronly'.

I will do 'matronly' when I'm 85 thanks!

I'm going to have another really good look in my wardrobe and see what I can rustle up that I feel comfortable in.  

Stew is heading off to Auckland in just a few minutes, so I will bugger off and see him on his way.

4.30 pm:  Stew is safely at Auckland Airport.  Mum and Ron should have landed by now... hopefully they don't take long to clear customs.

I just hauled half my wardrobe into my bedroom and started trying combo's on.
First set... BOOM!  Loved it.  Sorted.  I didn't even bother to try anything else on.

You just know when it's right eh?

Black tights. Black long sleeved T and a gorgeous blue/white sheer overtop.  Yes, there's black in there...but the overtop just makes a statement all on it's own and you don't notice the black under it.  

If I get a chance tomorrow I will take a photo and show you.

Dinner is in the oven, a lovely rich chicken/bacon and mushroom casserole, with added onions and whole baby potatoes.
Served with some steamed veges on the side.

That should go down OK I think.  *smiles*

Well the oldies arrived safe and sound... and are now fed and watered and about to head off to bed. They are exhausted.
