Saturday is Caption Day 20th October 2012

We had a cheeky wee holiday to Wellington last weekend ... First family holiday and we went 1 hour down the road! It may not seem adventurous but there is so much to do we had an awesome time.

Maisie's first sentence when we got home was ... 'I miss the Hotel mummy'. So cute, she was intrigued by her first hotel experience and behaved really well as did her brother.

We got loads of great pictures which I'll share over the next few weeks but I just love this one of her while she was playing at being mummy while her brother was in the bath ...

I think she is actually saying 'look at my baby he's splashing, aargh mummy he's splashing me mummy!!!'

I'm pretty sure that you lovely blog readers out there can put better words in her mouth.

Bubbles

I am a particular fan of bubbles ... the delicious alcoholic variety! Unfortunate expensive taste but jolly yummy!

Darling Daughter and Second Born Son quite like them too ... thankfully the soapy bubble kind. They love it when I blow big bubbles for them while they are in the bath and Maisie loves to chase bubbles down the beach.

I was lucky enough to have half an hour to prowl pinterest this afternoon and found these ...

Apparently if you pour the contents of a glow stick into some bubbles hey presto you create glow in the dark bubbles. If this is true this is awesomeness made easy!

Think this is a wee project for me and my babies at the weekend. Saturday night is bubbles night for mummy and daddy. Why not for the babies too?

If it is a success I would like to try homemade actual bubbles! If anyone would like to share any recipes here in the comments, on my twitter or on my Facebook page. Any reports back or pictures of the glow in the dark bubbles would be great too.

This Week in N.Z

My week in instagram pictures ...

Miss Maisie in her Sunday best offering out cups of tea.

A rare picture of the boys. Looking rather smart. This picture probably looks normal to everyone else but it looks odd to me. For some reason the instagram app made it into a mirror image! So the room behind them on the left is actuall on the right ... Weird!

And a rare picture of the girls, all be it with awful squished up wee faces but its not easy taking pictures of yourselves with an iPhone. Some folk seem to have a knack for it, I've seen lots of lovely profile pictures people have obviously taken themselves but everything time I try I look hellish !

Usually if Maisie is playing she does it in the living room, a shame really seeing as she has a lovely bedroom with lots of lovely toys. So on Monday I made a house for her favourite teddy Doug (she has three) using her princess tent and dolly furniture and accessories. We had one Doug in the cot, one Doug in the highchair and one Doug in the bath. I popped Archie in to see what he thought and he loved it. I left them to it but after 5 minutes Maisie came and told me she was scared, on further questioning in order to stop her being scared I had to take Archie out the tent??? Not sure I understand but hey ho!

I used this picture as my #SatCap picture click here to check it out.

Beach time after kindy on Wednesday. Her face isn't dirty it's the remnants of face paints! For a little girl who hated the beach when we first came here 20 months ago she sure does love it now!

Me and the hound enjoyed a cherub free Friday morning stroll on the beach. It was glorious day, sunny enough for jandels/flip flops /thongs and sunglasses but chilly enough for my quilted jacket. Read about this particular trip to the beach here, a lesson in nosiness for me.

You can tell the days I was working by the lack of picture from that day ... I've got a busy work week next week so maybe I'll take some pictures at work!
