Personality Profiling

So today while we were in Devon Port, Auckland we found these at a local shop, they are really cute little tins so here are the many facets of me Mr Men & Little Miss style.

Little Miss Chatterbox: Well obvious, I have a blog for starters I never shut up, apparently not even in my sleep.
Mr Bump: I am totally a super clutz I can barely catch a ball, walk into things etc. I have fallen off the back of a truck, walked into a bus mirrror etc.
Little Miss Giggles: not quite as much as Imo but more so when I am with her, Life is funny so Laugh
Mr Greedy: Tip Top ice cream enough said, YUMMMM!
Little Miss Naughty: this relates to greedy in that I often sneak my favourite foods even when I am not meant to  or am trying to look after myself, i also like to steal Kevin's food.
Mr Noisy: Well I laugh Loudly, I talk Loudly and I am boistrous, love it.

Dickens Inn, Whangerei

Stopped for a pub meal after a big day. Started out from Helen's at 8am stopped in Orewa for Frances' Coffee and a delicious moist chocolate and raspberry slice. We then headed to the Kauri Museum which was beautiful. From there we headed straight through Dargaville, the Kumara capital of New Zealand, to Tahne Mahuta ( The Lord of the Forest) the biggest Kauri living in the world. From there we headed through Opononi to Whangarei for dinner, next we will drive the last leg of our 650kms today back to Helen's for a dessert of Tip Top Hokey Pokey.
Apparently driving that distance in one day in New Zealand is really unusual.

This is us being romantic in Orewa

Christmas baking

Well it is that time of year again Christmas Gift Baking. This year I taught Lisa how to make honeycomb. It is a really fun recipe with lots of bubbles great to do with older kids  like Lisa (who is a full grown adult child)
