A Little Ladybug Party for our BIG 3 Year Old Florence!

We have been dreaming Ladybugs!!! Florence turned 3, everyone had a super time and even the weather played along.  Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate our little girls third birthday and to those that wished they were here but couldn't be.  xxx

Birthday Invitation

THE CAKE!! LOTS OF RED, LOTS OF BLACK, NOT TOO MANY ADVERSE EFFECTS FROM COLOUR!

Birthday morning.  Some beautiful presents....hair band and tiara definately a hit.

Pink presents are everything when you're three!


Some Daddy cuddles.

Viewing of the cake for the first time - I think she was happy!




PARTY TIME!




...my personal fav of all were these huge paper pompoms, thanks Martha!



Florence and her dear wee friend Ella.  (Who loved the ladybug crown, thanks for that Ella!)


its going to happen soon....




A retro favourite of pass the parcel


me and my girl :)
4 generations were represented......Didi is out the back there somewhere making up the 4!
this is the 'ladybug strutt'

In bed with ladybugs, it just did not stop.

ACCESSORIES





Party dress, hair ties and bracelet were mummy originals.



And to finish it off we turned our generous neighbours plums into thank you jam!

A big start to 2013

Looks like the activity over the first half of the first month of 2013 has worn out these two sleeping beauties.  You always know when it goes quiet something must be happening, seeing this sight was a most pleasant surprise!

A&P Show....not what it used to be!


 
 
 
A little Agricultural here and a touch of pastoral there but all in all, its not what we remember.  The weather certainly isn’t the same in November anymore.  Horses were definitely the highlight, although the big slide came in a close second.

Florence's FIRST Kinday Day!

There goes my baby, off to kindy!
...going...
...going..
..perhaps a little separation anxiety kicking in???...
NO! Gone!
feeling very relaxed enjoying a little afternoon tea
and a nice story to finish!
Our baby, off to kindy!  And at such short notice too, got the call Thursday and the next afternoon off she went.  She took about 7 minutes to suss everyone and everything out then it was all go.  She declined the offer to come with me to collect Hector from school!

Halloween Happening in Mainstreet Wanganui!


 
 
Glorious afternoon sun brought out lots of trick or treaters in good old Vic
Ave today! The kids had a fun time (after getting over the stage fright of
having to announce 'trick or treat' when they entered each store). Good
stuff Wanganui!
