One of the beautiful decorated cakes by the PAS students - Garden was the theme |
It's been great to get out into the Spring sunshine. When the wind hasn't been tickling us up, it has been wonderful to look out at the garden, see the roses blooming, sun shining and the boys racing about outside. It has also dawned on me that it is one month until Christmas.

Louis, Hugo and Renly just loving Pakowhai Park |
I have been somewhat organised so far. The first gifts have been ordered, I have the Christmas cards, the meat for the big day is ordered, Champagne is in the fridge, Christmas tree is up & my nuts are all at home getting ready to be roasted (Christmas nuts - not Dr. Phil's!). Not bad going with a month still to run.

Out backyard Guy Fawkes display - complete with fire precautions! |
I have also been wearing my "School Mum" hat and was the official photographer for the Port Ahuriri Wine and Food Festival a couple of weeks ago. A great event and so much fun. It's been a joy getting involved at the school, especially when the Ginger is really in the groove at school and Hugo is rocketing away.

Mum with her niece's new baby boy |
For them Spring has been action packed. As well as the PAS festival, there was Guy Fawkes, so little boy heaven, and we started the month by travelling up to Gisborne to celebrate Nana Buscke's 65th birthday. I have just thoroughly enjoyed watching Mum's great pleasure in celebrating her birthday. She is seriously Gisborne's most excited new superannuatant, such a joy.

The vest I have nicknamed 'Wasp' - as our Ginger can have a sting in his tail from time to time. |
I have also been busy on the needles, completing a project for me and almost finished the long promised yellow vest for Louis. I have even done a wee bit of gift knitting and am now being sorely tempted by some of the new yarns we have at work. I love the holiday knitting and so much done over the Christmas break, these are the sorts of problems one likes to have!
