Snapshot Sunday ...

... on a Monday again! This is becoming a bit of a habit ... hahahaha!

We just got home tonight after a sunny, relaxing weekend in Alexandra - just what we needed. The vege garden at my in-laws is now planted ... an annual tradition to do this at Labour weekend ... Finn taking control of the planting under the watchful eye of Gran.
I enjoyed lots of walking in the warm evenings, so nice to get out somewhere different rather than the usual walking circuit at home.

So busy was I relaxing that I didn't take any photos other than the next few on hubby's phone ... so snapshots for this Sunday (on a Monday, that really feels like a Sunday!) ...

... a stop on the way home at the Ettrick Store ... made famous by the current ad on tv for the Toyota Hilux ... you know the story about the guy driving up a volcano etc and picking up a crazy monkey who wants hokey pokey ice-cream ... so yes we had to stop for a hokey pokey ice-cream ... hahahaha ...

... the kids in the back seat of the car on the way home ... still wearing the All Black tatoo they wore for last nights game ...

... and a funny shot ... a snap of a speed camera ... and no it didn't take a pic of us ... we were well under the limit in a line of cars heading back towards Mosgiel/Dunedin ...

Final words today would have to be about that game last night ... whew thought I was going to have a heart attack in the second half ... was too close for my liking! But the boys did us proud and hung in there ... just! And I am pretty sure I heard a hugh collective sigh of relief at the end of the match. So stoked for the team, and so happy for New Zealand after many years of heartache ... but also loved seeing the sense of pride in the eyes of my kids that our team had done it. Finn in particular has lived and breathed the World Cup over the last six weeks ... he has memorised so many facts and figures from the guide books ... it has been great to see his enthusiaism. I wonder what he will read at bedtime now?

Enjoy the short week!
