Smile Suggestions Please ...

...

I am SOOOOO excited!!

Hubby is away all day tomorrow and the kids are all at school - what to do?

Saturday, Saturday night and all day Sunday, just me and the youngest aged 6 ....

I appreciate to many this is not exciting. Well TRUST me when you have a stay at home Hubby with you all day every day and 4 kids - this is akin to a weekend in Vegas (I imagine)

Any suggestions for me to enjoy myself welcome ...

Dress up in a swimsuit or costume and dance around to Queen's "I want to Break free"

Turn up music really really loud.

Rent the kids rooms out to backpackers and make a few extra $$

I am pleased to report I do NOT own any Queen CD's.

Now the renting the rooms out to backpackers is a darn good idea ... where's my TradeMe account details ...

mmmm.......
only been to thy fair city twice, once for a domestic and once flew in on the way to Eastern Bay area........to see a tractor with a bird's nest in it......
probably best not to do either with a 6 year old. Can't help then.
But what's the weather forecast?

well if i had the time to myself i would have a nice bath then put on fresh pj's order in a nice take away and settle down with a good book and a bottle of wine and some cheesy films maybe mamma mia lol and def dirty dancing

i know sounds boring but if like me you are on the 24/7 with hubby and kid/s then this sounds like heaven

Hi. To keep your 6 year old happy, have you been to Longridge farm just out of Te Puke? Kiwifruit farm tour in an old army truck, a few animals to pet, cafe etc. Kiwi360 is okay too. Again - a farm tour with a couple of play areas, maze and obligatory cafe, gift shop etc. Maybe go for a walk in the Papamoa regional park. Loads of outdoor heated mineral pools in your area - the one out towards Welcome Bay would be nearest to you. Marshalls Animal Farm makes for an enjoyable outing also.

Sounds like a delightful village fete - think I'm busy watching the hair on my legs grow ...

Thank you for all your suggestions, I think it might be back up the top of the Papamoa Hills - we like that hike! as for the wine, I think I may lay off it for the weekend - my Bollinger Belly in a bikini is not a pretty site!
