WEED THIEVES

this billborad is not far from our house and is a subject of total fascination for harriet. Initially it was the giant sandwiches but then of course she wanted to know what was in the other bag.The first week it was up nothing dissappeared than, the sticky buds went one by one..the perfect student/stoner flat accessory I think. They were replaced than went again, than the sanwiches went, than several more bags of sticky buds. We drive past most days and harriet looks to see what is there, we have taken a walk to see it and notice the holes in the bottom of the bag. last friday the dope was there in the morning, gone by lunch and the truck was putting more up in the afternoon...a great source of conversation. Harriet does much speculating on who has taken it and what they are doing with it, and what kind of sandwiches they are. I never thought I would be having a daily conversation with my 4 year old about bags of dope...but now I have found this little video I can answer her questions about who takes it and how they get it out.

grans and girls

 

Billy is 8 months old today.....

He now has 4 teeth and is working on a couple more. He says dada, ella, bubba and hi...no mummy or mama you'll note. He is just delightful and very good at sitting and playing with his toys. He loves his big sisters especially Isabella and we are sure once he gets mobile she will have a small boy following her everywhere. His favourite trick is clapping, if you say pakipaki he claps madly and is very pleased with himself. Today he also waved for the first time...at who...Isabella of course

wet weekend

it was a wet, blustery weekend but also the one we had booked a holiday house with friends. We got one nice morning on the beach but otherwise it pretty much rained. The kids had a ball anyway, these were the same families we went away with in Jan and the kids love holidaying together. It was a big two storied house and Isabella and her friend Madeline played alot of hide and seek, treasure hunt, pillow fights, jumping on and off the bunks with the kids. There were whole hours when all the adults were sitting round drinking tea, talking and reading trashy magazines uninterrupted, not to mention getting sleepins or afternoon naps plus we had great food to eat. some pics of the kids below
