Wandering around the Punakaki Rocks and these two wouldn't stop tickling each other!

Obstacle course on the beach....

This was in Hokitika and the weather and the beach there was stunning!!

Titantic Moment!

Butter wouldn't melt...

How Cute Am I?

Ollie LOVES trains AND icecream

Love the West Coast - they call it how they see it!

Arthurs Pass - And Ollies train obsession becomes more apparent!

Hmmmmm - showing a steam train just added to Ollies train obsession

In Fact while we were at Shantytown we could barely leave the train and the train tracks - and when it came time to leave we had to use ice cream bribery!

I donwanna talk to you because you have a tram and I wan it....

Ollie has a moment of Tram envy in Christchurch.

Hahahahaha - this is soooo funny!

Ollie and I try out the long drop at Shantytown

Daddy why are you calling that Ball with a funny chain "Susan?"

Modern Art!!

Ollie and Lisa sitting in the Wanganui Gardens!

Bubbles!!! Ollie notices the boats engines makes BUBBLES!!

Sunshine, a big boat, cold beer (ginger beer in Ollies case) and relaxing in the sun - perfect way to spend an afternoon!!

And that is the end of Movember.......

I am still not sure how I felt about Vic with a moustache...... sometimes I liked it sometimes I wasn't so fussed..... you be the judge!

We are getting very excited.....

As I am going back to work in January :o) We are preparing a room for our Swedish Au Pair who arrives in December. As you can see Ollie is very excited about her arrival and also helping redecorate the spare room!

Fish and Chips on the beach - it must be Summer!

I love it when Noah comes to stay!!!!

Story time before the boys get put to bed :o)

Checking earthworks..... again.....

Ollie and me doing our routine check on the progress of Earthworks - thankfully they are now complete - YAH!!!!!! Although not without its stress!!

Riding with training wheels....?

After my neighbours pony, Chocolate, starting bucking on their little girl I offered to ride him to try and make him understand that bucking was something that was not desirable behaviour...... so far it seems to have worked. Although I look seriously silly riding him - it was seriously good fun too :o)

No interesting water toys could distract Oliver from washing his beloved little cars....!

As the weather has been terrible over the school holidays I set Oliver up at the kitchen sink with cups, water wheels and other interesting water toys. He ignored all of these - went and found his plastic cars and lovingly washed and dried them - priorities!!!! He may be taking after his late Uncle Bernard who also had an obsession with cars!!

What fun!!!
