Labour Weekend

We both took Friday off last week and headed down to the Naki for the long weekend. We drove down Thursday night and Sophie coped with the drive sweet as - we left home at 6:30pm and after a couple of hours of singing and chatting away about 'waking up at Nana's house' she eventually went to sleep. The weather wasn't the flashest (is that a word?) but we had great time there - Sophie sure does love hanging out with her relies and hasn't stopped talking about her trip all week long!

-

We drove back home Sunday night so we could chill out together on the Monday - The weather gods turned up big time on Labour day so we decided to have a day outdoors - we cleaned the barbecue, did some gardening and had dinner outside on the deck - a sweet way to end a sweet weekend.

...and Nana...

Sophie had more fun standing in the bucket, rather than cleaning the BBQ!

-

This gardening thing is pretty sweet...

-

...are you sure these things are legal daddy?

-

Dinner time on the deck - Sophie is far too grown up now to let us cut her food...

-

"Now listen up Mummy and Daddy - next time we have a BBQ outside - I'm in charge of salads ok!

Shucks....

Boy or Girl?

Sophie patted my stomach the other night (admittedly I had eaten a big dinner) and said – “Daddy got a baby in tummy” – Thanks Sophie…guess it’s time for the gym.
-
We found out last week that Sophie will be having a little baby brother come February next year – so that has worked out pretty sweet indeed – we need to start thinking of names now – Ingrid ain’t that keen on Bradley junior either…
-
We had a visit from Aunty Nicky in the weekend which was nice, but I stupidly told Sophie a couple of days out that she was coming over to see her on Saturday afternoon – I shouldn’t have, because she got that excited she didn’t want a bar of her afternoon sleep – then she did the same thing again on Sunday –Hopefully it’s not a weekend trend that she doesn’t sleep during the day.
-
It’s also Sophie’s last week of Kids Klub this week – she’ll be starting her new day-care next week – Ingrid is taking a few days off work to settle her in next week – Sophie keeps on referring to “New Kids Klub” quite a bit so hopefully she’ll take to it easily.

-

We brought a new hair contraption that is supposed to strip out 'ginga'...I think this one is broken though...

-
Guess who dressed Sophie today?...
