We got rid of the not at all childproof water feature in the back garden and replaced it with a sandpit.
We're still deciding what we will do with the patch of dirt that is left, maybe a gravel pit, maybe a play house, maybe just grass...or perhaps a mud pit!
Littlest cousin Tripp has been down from Auckland a couple of times, the boys love him, we're not sure if it's mutual love yet as it's a bit overwhelming for the poor wee man coming down here and being put among his 4 big cousins.
My dear old friend Nikki came to stay, it was absolutely lovely and the boys adored her, Rhys said for weeks afterwards that 'Nikki gone home'.
We've also had my sister and her family here for a weekend along with our gorgeous friend Emma all the way from the Sunshine Coast (I just tried to add more photos but it's not cooperating). And a random visit from an old friend Jason with his beautiful daughter Bella.
It's been fantastic to have the space for so mnay to come down and visit, it's so easy with a big house and we love showing off this great city too. I think it might be time for us to take a trip North though so hopefully we'll get up to Wellington before Christmas.
