There is something different about today.............

And there was Mummy left me there all day apparently on a couple of meltdowns and I was so So SOOOO happy to see my Mummy and Emily at 3 pm! 6 hours after I was left at the daycare.
Mummy survived too! And had a hectic day!

:) Hugs Ruth :)

Clouds!

On a recent road trip for work I took my camera and was fixated by clouds! I took some photos I have uploaded for you enjoyment!

Looks like puff balls! Not bad for some driving! It was ok it was only me in the car! :)

I even saw a lung dragon cloud but was too slow in snapping it!

I just love the way they hang there until they absolutely implode! The night before there had been a thunder and lightening storm that lasted well over an hour and the thunderclaps lasted more than a minute as they rolled around the hills! It was amazing!

Country fairy Chick!

Emily loves her Cowboy hat mainly because it is pink and sparkly!

And she loves her Fairy wings! Can you see them Mum???

I'll turn around a bit more! See!

Oh you can see my twirly skirt! I love that! I got it for Christmas!!!

I am still smiling take more photos Mum!! Look at my shoes did you get them? Why is it taking so long! Let me see! Let me see!

Just another photo shoot at home! LOL!

I just love the way she poses for photos! As for the hat it hurts when it gets dropped on your feet! Hard plastic and it only cost about $3! We love the dollar store!

Happy Friday! Hugs Ruth

Aiden's Trials and Tribulations!

Aiden and Alice making Christmas cakes for gifts!


Aiden relaxing while I work in Invercargill!
Aiden as Santa at the Chinese Language and cultural school in Dunedin!
The kids loved him being Santa's helper! and I think he got a kick out of it even though it was a stinking hot day!

Zara, Lina, Aiden, Alice and Emily at the Peter Pan statue at The Dunedin Botanical Gardens on Christmas Eve!
Aiden farewelling his surfboard when it finally sold for what he paid for it almost 2 years ago and it wasn't once taken in the water! He is now saving for a long board! Learning the lessons of must haves!

Aiden has had 4 days now at rehearsals and is extremely tired! But he is thrilled with all he is learning and achieving! We are certainly proud of his ability to turn up into a room of people he doesn't know and work hard! He is biking there and back everyday and is always on time! Start of new habits we hope!

Did I also say he is the best big brother out! He certainly loves his sisters with all his heart!

Hugs Mummy
