BELATED BIRTHDAY PHOTOS

Well... I'm a bit guilty of being tardy in getting these photos up, but I was too busy yesterday to edit them till late last night.

So here they are:

ABOVE: Opening a gift from Griffin.  He was pretty thrilled with it.

ABOVE:  This proved to be the gift of the day.
He ♥LOVED♥ it.

 ABOVE:  Keera hanging out with Granddad.

 ABOVE: His favourite gift.

 ABOVE: Playing Jenga with their Dad.

 ABOVE:  Archer absolutely loved this game.

 ABOVE:  My favourite photos from the day, the love between these boys shines through.

 ABOVE:  Time to eat cake.

 ABOVE:  After birthday lunch we went down to a local playground for a play.  We had to dodge showers, but it was still lovely and warm.

ABOVE: An interesting walkway going over a main road.  

 ABOVE: The playground is within a large park, so lovely for them to be really near a large open space/park/swimming complex.

ABOVE: Christmas in New Zealand.  Summer sun.  Beaches. BBQ's and ice creams.  And Pohutukawa trees, which only flower over summer.

And there ends the birthday photos.

Today?  Off to town first thing to post a parcel to a lady down the line (Heather) and pick up more of Griffin's acne medication.  And then Brylee has (hopefully), her last podiatry appointment.

I am going to be BRAVE and let her drive us down town in her car!  God help me, I will be shitting myself!!!

If I don't update after about 12 noon... presume the worst!  lol

Yeah, I hope I'm joking!  *grimace*

Then it will be home to do some housework, follwed by a swim in the pool and a lazy afternoon.

I am going to have to pull my finger out soon and make more placemats and Tree Table Runners... in time for the two January markets I have on.  But for now... nah.  Time out.

ONWARD...

OH WOW!  I forgot the one thing I really wanted to mention.
Brylee's car's NUMBER PLATE IS:

'LWL **'.    I thought about it for probably half an hour, wondering how to remember it.
Then it came to me:

LILY WHITE LEGS ** !  Cos, well Brylee's legs virtually NEVER see the sun, so they are LILY WHITE.  lol

So that's stuck, and I doubt anyone will forget the number plate now!  *smiles*

We shall be calling her little car 'Lily' as well.  Might as well... it suits her.  

12.20 pm:

AND I'M STILL ALIVE!!!

Very relieved to say she drove quite well.  A bit jerky... getting used to a new car.  But she will be fine once she's had more practise.

She had to have another procedure on her poor toe, at least only one this time.

We did a little Christmas shopping, and she got air fresheners for her car, as the previous owner was OBVIOUSLY a bloody smoker.

The car REEKS... almost makes me gag.

I've already emptied two entire cans of carpet deodoriser onto the seats and roof!

Hopefully the smell goes away eventually.

Bugger, I forgot Griffin's medication, so will be heading back to town in just a moment, but I did want to let ya all know I WAS still alive.  *ha ha ha*

10.05 pm:  Well.. it's been a wonderful afternoon and evening.
Lacy and I spent some time out in the pool and sunbathing.
Brylee couldn't... cos she's got a bandaged big toe again, and she doesn't 'sunbathe'... gotta keep them legs lily white eh?  lol

I made spag bol for dinner, it was OK... I am not much of fan anymore, it's a bit too heavy for me now.  And it keeps repeating on me for hours.  Not fun.

It's time to sign off for the day... catch ya tomorrow.
