HOUSEKEEPING.... AND A WALK

TODAY:   got lots of housework to do first thing... then if it's a nice day I would love to take the dogs for a nice long walk around the Botanic Gardens.

We havn't been there for a while, and it is just down the road!

I was going through some old photos the other day and came across this one:

ABOVE:  would you believe that is Teddy at just 8 weeks old!  He sure has changed.

so, Then I had to go find one of Coco as a puppy:

ABOVE:  goes to show just how much they change as they grow!   A bit like us eh?  lol

Talking of old photos, I've been looking at heaps lately, must find my old diaries too... is is very interesting going back and reading up on what happened in the past eh?   Helpful too.

ONWARD...

It's after 10 am in the morning, and Stew, Brylee and Griffin are ALL still in bed!  I've been up for hours, reading blogs in me nightie!
Time to move me butt and get the family out of bed and doing some jobs around here I reckon!
OH and I locked the dogs outside too... they think first thing in the morning is THE BEST time to run around like mad things and playfight... with lots of noise involved!  grrrrrr.

As per usual, we went out for lunch at a mall.  Albany today.  Then wandered around Orakei Garden Centre, found bugger all to buy so came home.  
It's one of those 'is it going to rain or not?' days... just can't make up it's mind.
Oh well.. I'm off to have a nap... quite tired after being out and about.  Not quite over this horrid cold yet.

ABOVE:  I sent Stew up into the loft on the hunt for stuff.

 ABOVE:  Coco was very perturbed by her Dad going up there!

 ABOVE:  Teddy: clearly bemused.  He could hear Stew, but couldn't tell where he was!

ABOVE:  waiting.... waiting....

ABOVE:  YES!  I see a foot.... I'm sure it's a foot! ....

So, I now have some Christmas paper to start doing some wrapping!   I am going to be totally on the ball this year... no last minute wrapping for me this Christmas Eve.

End of Day:  watching a movie on the telly tonight, nothing much else is going on.
