Maisie's First Kindy Trip


Well I think it's fair to say that Darling Daughter had the best day out of all of team Simpson on Wednesday! She had her first Kindy (not really Kindy but its easier to say than Daycare) trip.

The little darlings got to take a trip to Kapiti Coast Airport! A couple of years ago this would probably have been less exciting but it's getting bigger and it's not just little teeny tiny planes flying out of here, there is a slightly bigger Air New Zealand plane that jets up to Auckland now and again!

Maisie was terribly excited I gave her elf hair (its Hobbit crazy here with the world premiere happening down the road in Welly) and two coats (a hoody and a body warmer just in case). As soon as she for to Kindy she told the teachers about her elf hair and two coats, repeatedly! Fine if they knew what she was saying, we don't know what she is saying half the time because of her hybrid accent I don't know how the Kindy teachers understand her!


The idea was for the little darlings to get the bus there and back and see the big plane coming in and taking off again! Maisie thought she was perhaps going on a plane and I was a bit worried she would be disappointed.

I needn't worry for here is the log of what they did ...


Sounds like they had awesome fun! The plane was running late so someone official at the airport took matters into there own hands and entertained the troops!

Not sure I would like to be a passenger after they were in the cockpit!! Who knows what buttons the babes might have pressed!?!?

Needless to say Maisie's favourite part was the lollies!!

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!

I'm linking this up to a great Linky over at Life Rearranged, click on the pic to see more ...

Caption This Beauty!

Saturday is #SATCAP day.

Here we have yet another cracker of a snoring (yep she is asleep) pose from Darling Daugher! After a long 6 hours at Kindy she just couldn't keep her eyes open. I didn't have the heart to move her, besides I didn't want her getting too comfy it was far too late for napping! She started off on the stool leaning against the sofa arm, I nipped into kitchen to make a cup of tea and came back through to find this....

FYI the shoes are her choice...and for some reason she doesn't seem to mind them being on the wrong feet, personally I find wearing shoes on the wrong feet feels hideous!
