Hubby...

Husband has gone away for two and a half weeks for work up at Manihiki.  He sent me the following email on the first night...

hi my love!  Awesome experience to date.  Caught a barge to another island for a kaikai (another!) then on the way back in pitch black one of the engines conked out so we offloaded the kids in another boat and crawled home.  Talk about your slow boat to China!
Lots of great photos so far.
He had already had two previous kaikai's (large meals) when he arrived then had a third!  I hope he isn't the size of a small island when he returns!? haha






However I do hope he enjoys all that a small Pacific Island Paradise has to offer. 


Much love xox

Thanks mum and dad we had fun! We love and miss you and George was very disapointed that you were not here when I got back. He was asking for Nan rather then mum...


Much love all xox 


Everyone knows I am mad...

Fun always starts off well...

'How old?' I hear you asking...  Well my shoes size is five.  And if that is not going to convince you then maybe this will.  Again the fun starts out well for the young...
She is meant to be having fun!

I love my husband...but

Winter in Gisborne...
I spoke to the family on Skyp today and it was lovely to see the three boys!  Josh shared with me that they had had nachos two nights in a row! I hate nachos and had mad a batch up and frozen it for them while I was away.  I also made a stew and a couple of other meals. All heat and eat stuff.  So I asked husband if he had bought sour cream to go with the nachos as I had been ill the week before heading away to Auckland and not restocked the fridge.  He said no and he then said "I think I used the wrong mince for them"....

Now, I know my husband very well and I love him dearly that is why I labeled all the containers for him and an example of my labelling goes something like this...
Nacho Mince
Remove from freezer (Pretty standard)
Defrost
Heat, place on nacho chips, add sour cream.
Love wife

So as I watched him bite his lip and give me "I love you" eyes you do have to laugh out loud.  Even when I try to make it easy, I fail....

Look what I found... x
Hhahahahahahaha I love you dearly husband xox
