Auckland Anniversary Day

Today was Auckland Anniversary Day so seeing as it was nice & sunny we put Mac's bike in the boot of the car & headed over to Mell & Jo's for a play & some lunch out on their entertainer's deck :)

Not long after we got there Nat & Kris came over with the boys & we set up to eat. The kids had already been picking at the food so by the time us adults sat down they were all off playing! Yay :)

We had a yummy spread as usual - ham, egg & salad sammies with mini munchkin donuts for the kids & rumbles (or rumballs) for the adults - the same recipe Mum used to make :)

After lunch Uncle Jo took the kids outside & they had a blast setting up the tent in the backyard. Mac didn't wanna come home after that (as usual), but as soon as we hopped in the car he was out!! :( So now he's having a super late afternoon nap & is gonna be up all night!!! Lucky me....

Here are some pics from our fun day....

 








Even other babies can't resist squeezing those cheeks lol :)

 









Nat & Kris's wedding

Nat & Kris got married on Monday :) Was a really cool day & they had the most beautiful weather! It was just the two families with all of the kiddies....so they all ran wild as usual & had an absolute ball !!!

Tonight I called Mell & she was out at choir practice so I left a message with Joe for her to call me when she got home.....Not long after that Nat called me so we could talk about timing for getting ready for her wedding tomorrow (exciting!!!)..... then while I was talking to Nat I heard beeps from Mell ringing through on the other line returning my call....but because I was almost finished talking to Nat I didn't answer Mell's beeps cause I thought I'd just call her back in a minute rather than switching lines to explain to her that I'd call her back in a minute.......when I did call Mell back in a minute though she had just started talking to B on Skype so she asked if she could call me back when her & Rochelle had finished talking lol....
Anyways, I told Mell that was fine & then got off the phone & as I sat back on the couch I smiled to myself thinking about what had just happened & how cool it is that there are four of us girls in the family & how awesome it is that we all get along so well & are so much a part of one another's lives. It's probably lucky I don't have a daughter cause if I did I'd have to keep having more & more children until she had a few special sisters of her own :) I love my sisters no number - my life definitely wouldn't be the same without them!!
