Queenstown Winter Festival

What a lovely relaxing day i've had,i got a sleep-in and then did only pleasant things the rest of the day...like giving Ruby a warm bath,with a drop of lavender oil,followed by a baby massage..which she loves,and it helped 'unclog' her so to speak,and she was a happy and sleepy bub afterwards and i enjoyed breathing in the lavender scent of her hair!
I did a little baking and even got to read a book for half an hour...bliss.

It sure makes a change after yesterday..we took Jasper to see the parade in Queenstown,as part of the annual winter festival.Well,it was abit ambitious on our part i think ,taking two very young children all that way,we were stressed before we even left...just getting every thing into the car,you have to be SO organized with 2 kids,it's unbelievable!...then we had to find a carpark in queenstown.."fun"..NOT!

The weather was good and the parade was top-notch,especially the Narnia float that the wee kidlets from the primary school were on.I got sprayed in the EARHOLE by some 'clever' idiot with a water gun,who was on the starwars float...i must say,the imperial soldiers(?) were very cool,they marched by with their guns..very impressive.
Jasper was a bit young to get it really.Ruby ofcourse was totally oblivous,she was so EASY..just woke up once in the whole day,to down a bottle,give a cute little smile,and gurgle and then it was straight back to sleep thankyou very much!
Dave and i enjoyed a hot choclate with chilli from patagonia chocolate store and stood admiring the views on the waterfront...nice.

Got home around 4o'clock,too nackered to give the kids a bath..had pizza for tea.

But today was perfect.

gotta' go,Merecat manor is on...is anybody else hooked on this programe?...poor tosca!
