I keep finding toys wrapped up in sellotape (by Danielle). And a lot seem to have acorn tops stuck on them...

We made a spontaneous visit to the local markets this morning since we were dropping my parent's dog off to the nearby kennels. Eating locally made ice cream. I had no shoes for the kids, but I came up with a pair of Nathan's gumboots for him floating around the car, and found a smaller size of the same for Danielle in the back of the car in amongst the emergency supplies. She was dubbed the Taihape Fairy by a few of the stall owners lol. They wooed their way with the cheese lady and she gave them the last (but opened-and-taste-tested-so-no-point-having-on-display) block of sheep's milk feta which was YUM! We were looking at the locally made pork sausages and Nathan wanted to try an unusual looking variety (and gluten free). So I think we'll be having an international meal of cheese and sausage tomorrow!

Danielle wanted a hat for her doll and I noticed this going on...;)

(and yes, that's a sleeping Nathan in the background, guess those 5.45am starts are doing him in - coz they sure are doing me in...)
This afternoon Nathan got out a maths workbook and wanted to do a few of the things in there.
