CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY FOR THE PUPS

Denim and Marley needed more inside toys to play with... so yesterday afternoon I went to the Warehouse and got them a bunch of toys.

ABOVE:  Rather typically, even though there are heaps for them to play with, they fought over the one toy!  Silly girls.

I get to sleep in today!
Brylee is on Keera duty.  We are going to take turns getting up to her until she leaves for Auckland.  So... I'm still in bed!
How cool is that?

I might even get Brylee to get me 'breakfast' in bed... won't be hard.  It's only Diet Coke!  lol

Our son Steve went shopping yesterday afternoon too.

For something they really, really needed too.

Stew and I have been quite worried that when they visit us, they'd have to come down in 2 vehicles, as the car Bex drives only holds 4 people.  With Keera added into their family, they wouldn't have room to all fit in one car.

So, he has been on the look out for a bigger car, one that will accommodate their growing family.  And he found this:

ABOVE:  It's a Nissan Presage, and it has 8 seats!  So, plenty of room.  So, not only have they had to move house (that happens next Friday), but they have also had to buy a bigger car... all so they can have Keera.

I can't thank them enough.  Her moving in with them is the perfect fit for her, us and Lacy.  There were other options... but none that would work well for EVERYONE involved.

Right... time to go for now.
No plans for the day, though I would like to get some sewing done... even if it's on the little machine.  

ONWARD...


Moving on. I slept in till about 9 am. It was lovely.

Now... the girls and I are going into Hamilton. Keera needs new togs (swimmers) and we shall have lunch at the mall as a treat.

Today was all about KEERA:

 ABOVE:  We had lunch at a coffee shop... which included sandwiches, cake and hot chocolate.  And marshmallows... let's not forget them!

 ABOVE:  Then it was off to buy some new togs... she chose these.  I love them, Keera loves them, Brylee thinks they are too bright.  I think we won't lose her at the beach!

ABOVE: Then it was time for a haircut.  Nice and short for summer.  And easy care for Bex, who's not used to little girl's hair!

Talking of Bex, she's taken possession of her new car.  Hopefully she gets used to driving it quickly.  It' much bigger than what she's used to.

4.20 pm:  Just spent over an hour at the doctors, mostly WAITING.... Brylee has been feeling unwell the past few days.  Turns out it's most likely a viral tummy bug, so fingers crossed she feels better in a few days.
Drinking ice cream smoothies is such hard medicine to take I'm sure!  

Dinner tonight will be left overs outta the fridge, I'm in no mood to cook.  Hear that Mr Harvey?  *smiles*

LOL... Mr Harvey came home with the makings of a silly bugger dinner... AND he cooked it too!
Saveloys and spagetti on toast, sprinkled with cheese.  Rather nice.

Winding down for the day... the heat of the day is cooling off thank goodness.  
Brylee is feeling a bit better, the anti-nausea medication is working.
