Playground Cuties

Here are Bella and Lucia at the Flagstaff Park Playground. Lucia is a complete daredevil and goes flying down the slide like a crazy lady!

Adventures with Theo

This term we are supposed to be meeting up with Aunty Sarah and Theo every second week to do a fun activity. We have a long list of activities we'd like to do like going to Leap and Jump, swimming at aqua playgym, going on a bus trip, visiting an animal park in Pirongia, and going to various playgrounds but so far we've only managed one get together at the local playground! Hopefully, we'll have plenty of fun activity photos to share soon!

An afternoon with the Choir

Bella's choir performed for the parents one Friday afternoon. Here Bella is standing next to her best friends Brianna and Maia. Bella's favourite song at Choir is "The Fight Song".

Bella's Birthday with Maia

Maia missed Bella's birthday as she was sick so Bella and her had a special little party one day after school. Maia got to make her rainbow hat and collect her party goodies. We played the chocolate game, did sack races, the egg and spoon race and musical cushions!

Jumping Beans

Here are some pictures of Lucia and Zach at Jumping Beans. I even managed to catch a picture of Emma and Lucia together. They were supposed to be doing their jumping beans class together but so far they've only managed two classes so far. Emma and Lucia are born a week apart and will both go to Endeavour School together. They both have big sisters there already!

Bella's School Birthday

For Bella's School Birthday we took in some cupcakes that she could share with her "Ako" (Care) Group at school. It was a good way to use some of the left over icing and fondant decorations. The kids thought the cupcakes were delicious!

Bella's 6th Birthday Party!

Bella had a super 6th Birthday Party! All the girls seemed to have a great time. The comments that we heard were "This is the perfect party", "parties at this house are always the best" and "I don't want to go home." Comments like these make all the effort worthwhile!

When the girls arrived we got them to get into rainbow theme by making rainbow hats and rainbow dancing ribbons. We then ate lots of yummy food including rainbow cupcakes and rainbow jellies. We then went on a scavenger hunt! The girls had to stick together to find and work out the 11 clues hidden around the house until they found the treasure chest filled with lollies, gold coins and stickers!

After the scavenger hunt we danced around the lounge playing active pass the parcel. While this was happening we saw the most beautiful rainbows in the sky. We then did some races downstairs - egg and spoon and sack races. We then moved onto cutting the cake which was filled with MnMs and marshmallows. The time went surprisingly quickly - we didn't get to play the chocolate game, musical cushions or do the three legged race. Bella got some lovely presents. She especially loved Connect 4 and Junior Monopoly!
