Irresponsible Parenting??

On Friday some of our mums went out for coffee after they dropped us off at school, and didn't make it home until after they picked us up, lets just say they stumbled across a good restaurant for lunch and a couple of good vintages. To our good fortune we all came back to our house for the good cheer to continue, 6 mums and 14 kids all here for tea :)



Liam made the most of mum being distracted and indulged in some chocolate cupcakes :)

Everywhere you looked there were kids ....




Tea Time.




And all we were left with was the mess and good memories :)

We are so excited about going home to NZ for a visit that we are now practising the flight home. Countdown is on, we will touch down in NZ on Sat 3rd April, just in time for Easter :)

Who says Zara pushes Liam around? Well actually in some instances she does!



Mum"s Birthday

Its that time of the year again where for a few short weeks dad is married to an "older" woman. He loves it but we all know better :)



Pause It
