My 3 little poppets!

Here are my 3 little poppets all enjoying crackers together!

Connor, Jacob, Lucia and Zach

Here are Zach and Lucia with the twins Connor and Jacob! We haven't taken a picture of Zach with the boys in ages! Jacob looks to be about twice Zach's size despite being 2.5 months younger.

Leap

Yesterday we went to Leap with some girls (Kaylee, Maya and Zoe) from Bella's Ako (care) group at school. The girls had lots of fun jumping on trampolines, shooting hoops, doing the obstacle course and diving into the foam pit.

While Bella was busy with her friends at Leap, Zach was at Kindy building a fire engine!

Eloise's 2nd Birthday

Eloise had her 2nd Birthday at the Hamilton Gardens. She had a dinosaur themed party.

Mackenzie comes for a Sleepover

On Friday night Mackenzie came for a sleepover. Bella was so excited about having her over. They made some pretty cool K'nex creations. The girls stayed up until after 10pm chatting and reading books.  In the morning we scootered to the fejoa tree and the girls made some beautiful play dough dresses.

Mackenzie said "I love coming here because Bella is always so nice and you serve delicious food."

Bella's colouring competition

Here is Bella's New World colouring competition submission. I think she did a super job!!! It took her a very long time. She wasn't sure about submitting but the manager said she could have it back. It's currently on the wall at New World with the other entries.

Brianna's House

On Thursday, Bella, Zach, Lucia and I went to Brianna's house for a picnic lunch and play. Brianna has so many toys. Bella especially liked her climbing frame outside and Lucia loved the little people chairs. Brianna and Bella were very cute doing the green team chant from their sports day!

My Baby is 1

Lucia turned one on Wednesday. Wow this year has gone so quickly. It's unbelievable to think a year ago she was a tiny helpless baby and now she walks and talks, eats anything and everything and gets up to lots of mischief while driving Bella and Zach crazy wanting to join in all their activities.

Lucia loves swimming so we went to the Te Aroha hot pools to celebrate. All the kids loved it! We also went for a lovely little bushwalk and had a play at a playground. We then came home in time to meet Nanny for cake for afternoon tea.

We got Lucia a pretty silver bracelet for her birthday. She wasn't that keen on it at first but has now got used to it. She loved the paper from her presents most!
