Weekend Away...

But we endevoured to go anyway!.. with much convincing (NOT! He he))

Ok so it started on a sad note.......poor Lin couldn't join us!

Still, with a hiss and a roar we headed to Ruakaka - to my fathers place, enough beds, meal planning done, now to 'garden planning'!
or so we told ourselves anyway!

Saturday........sleep......sleep.....sleep! (Any parent of littlies will understand!) and EARLY WAKE UP!
YES our body clocks just wouldn't allow us to sleep in!
Except V who apparently has no prob sleeping......(cow, sheep, pig and any other semi offensive word we thought to call her)


Poor Liz though, was awake didn't want to wake anyone else so stayed in her room while Tania and myself had a Spa!
A nice rest in the spa and we were in a much better mood and readily accepting to V obvious selfishness! (how dare she sleep when we can't!) (am I a bit focused do you think?!)

And let the garden planning begin..........or maybe after a movie? Ok so a Movie won that vote......then another, and
another! Yay 'CHICK FLICKS!' which our hubbies have a distinct lack of like for! Then dinner break and a discussion on how we all could hate a movie so much, but let it run cause we didn't want to upset someone, if anyone else was enjoying it. After that discussion Tania felt no NEED to pull punches, and after a couple of readily voiced objections
we found yet another movie to watch!

And a late night spa looking at the stars, me and Tania......."is that the milky way?"......"no!"....."yes!".....
and other such riviting discussions and we were ready for another....you guessed it......MOVIE!

Now I'd hate to rivit you all with our fascinating weekend if it wasn't for the fact that this was a 'garden planning' weekend! Or so our husbands thought anyway!

Without boring you all with how our Sunday went (much of the same really, then heading home again) I would like to note that because of the lack of planning that actually took place, another weekend is definitely in the planning stages!

OK so more planning on the planning weekends than the actual garden but hey, who are we to complain right? (Thats the hubbies job who all got left with the kids! he he!)
