No Kids for the Weekend

It was my Birthday last week and Auntie Nicky gave me a sweet as present by taking the kids for the weekend!

Sophie and Max loved it and were perfect little angles from all accounts. They went out on a couple of adventures, checked out the park, played at chipmunks, made Pizza and of course, didn’t want to come home. When Nic left on the Sunday the both of them started sobbing their little hearts out...

Ingrid and I on the other hand weren't crying…at all, we were hi-fiving each other and had a very eventful weekend. Saturday we went for a cruise to Mission Bay, (it was a cracker of a day), then followed up with a Movie in Albany, we had dinner in the city and then decided to stay in town and booked a night at Sky City Hotel, we even got a cheeky upgrade to a harbour view!...sweet. The next day we took in a morning stroll around the city then went off for a relaxing bite for breakfast, we even managed to get in a couple of hours of long over due spring cleaning around the house. All and all - a pretty sweet weekend.

A hot date
Stunning weather in Auckland over the weekend
Gold Class Cinema (Scabbed some tickets through work) - You sit in massive lazy-boys watching the movie and buzz the waiters to bring you in drinks...it really is O for Awesome.
