Happy Valentines
We spent the morning at the yearly Thieves Market in the Octagon, and had a hangi for lunch. It was freezing this morning, so we headed off wearing six layers of clothing, peeling it off as the day warmed up.
This was followed by an afternoon at Aramoana Beach, playing with the dog, digging in the sand, swimming in the ocean, and creating beach art. Xanthe and I sculpted a mermaid from seaweed and shells, Aaron sketched a Taniwha in the sand, and Xavier and the dog dug holes while running around in circles.
Then we finished up our day with home made pizza’s by Aaron. We’ve been largely dairy free for yonks now, so it was nice to have a little cheese again.
Valentines day was not even a remote thought for us today … just lots of fun family time. Although, yesterday myself and my darling husband went back under the gun and got tats for our 10th wedding anniversary.
Hope you’re all enjoying your weekend. Our kids are tucked up into bed and we’re going to watch a movie.
