Olive still says ‘No’ to most questions even when she means yes. A recent conversation about her sibling and our visit to the midwife. |
We have been giving "Olive a fright" a lot lately. Hide and Seek has been great evening fun with Daddy hiding and Olive, Mama and Lyon going to find him (Lyon usually gives it away first) and then Daddy gives Olive a fun fright by jumping out when she has found him. The simple things are so much fun. |
The pavers are mostly down on our little vege garden hideaway. |

The paddling pool has been a huge success this summer. As has the slide (with Lyons bed as a landing pad) olive asks for the sandpit lid to be lifted daily too. |

Olive loved the balloon play with Anthony and dessert at Lucy's first birthday. Olive and the three boys (Zac, Harry, Anthony) played nicely in Zac's room until Olive decided throwing is great fun. Who said girls can't throw?... |

The sun is back! My big two year old all painted black and blue after fun in the water and sun at Playcentre. Painting animals and mixing paint and water was fun. The backpack is a huge hit too. |

My office nook is slowing taking shape. Lights? Wallpaper? Shelves? Desk? Still a wee way to go! Olive enjoyed 'working' in mama's chair. |

On the hottest day of the year to date, Daddy took Lyon on a jaunt to the top of Makara Peak and back. This resulted in a rather hot dog. |

Moving on up! Bye bye Toyota putty pitz of 20 years, even learnt to drive in you. Hello Mazda pristine pitz. Big day, automatic gears, remote central locking, Bluetooth, electric & tinted windows, air conditioning the list goes on as does our excitement. It feels like we have been trapped in a car time warp. |
