in the end, after the obligatory cup of tea in bed and home-made card, our fathers' day/family birthday dinner became brunch on a beautifully sunny sunday, that included a walk along the inlet and an impromptu photo shoot.
me thinks somebody needs bi-focals...
the girls' fathers' day card included (among others), this insightful verse :dear dad
happy fathers' day!
sorry my writing's messy
this pen sucks!
lots of love

the branches of our family tree contain a lot of nuts...
i shot a whole series of these then downloaded a gif animator to roll them altogether ala pioneer woman. i'll post it sometime
i thought i did pretty good job with my jump, but of course i got absolutely no credit for it from some of the girls. DH didn't want to attempt 'such foolishness'. i suspect he wants his almost 50 year old body to be in complete working order for his wonderful child-free week in san fran. [god i wish i was going]. oh wait, i am (just not soon enough!)what a terrible mother. how could i say such things about my daughters. look how happy they are to be with each other. yeah yeah yeah. five minutes before that i had walked out of the cafe because i couldn't stand the arguing! it was over something terribly important like feet placement under the table...
here the girls attempt to spell out our surname. note: upper AND lower case was used
and in this one, our potty-mouthed children spell out another word. kids and shadows. priceless fun. i should point out that such language is not ever tolerated in our house. they were simply in the moment.
miss 19 took this one
then miss 16 took an impromptu yoga lesson
...just going with the moment...
then on the way home they sung along to this...the quality isn't fantastic, because i crunched it down from 172MB to 31MB.
still very cute to watch. take 2 minutes out of your day and enjoy it.
happy fathers' day to all the kiwi dads out there!

So cute watching them sing- I loved listening to you all speak a bit- love accents. I have always found it interesting that when singing there is none.
Love your pictures- the jumping ones are great - I laughed at the "shadow" language!!
love the photo shoot....now that is a cool jump!!
wow!
LOVE THE pics.
YOU'RE very blessed;-)
...and the video is PRECIOUS.
OMG what a fun family you have. Love the jumping and the nut tree. Hilarious.
what a really good day :)
Jen
what fantastic photos :-)
I was very impressed by your jumping ability.
What a nice day for the family! That video was the best, though. Now, I only bloggy know you, but if I had to guess, Miss 16 seems to act just like her mama. I loved how the girls in the back were just enjoying the song and singing along and the older ones were rocking out. Good times.
I heart videos. Very much.
Fantastic ! Hope you all had a blast
We have Father's Day in June in the UK
amanda, miss 16 is much bigger poser than i was at that age, but i guess you could say i'm making up for lost time!!!
Oh & LOVE jumpy pics!!
The video is not working for me. Kind of rainy here, maybe I don't have a good connection. :(
Cute photos!!!
i like the photo with the shadows. way cool.
You guys are awesome.
Okay so I would HURT my mother if she a) captured me singing on camera and b) posted it on the internet! Your kids are such good sports! HAHAHAHA I was laughing. I wish I was as much fun as they are! At that age I really would have DIED if someone did that to me (too self conscious)!
