wow that's a mouthful but i didn't know what to call it
Here's some pics I have from the meet-up today, add yours, am sure with the amount of cameras theres gotta be a few different ones. Ella climbing the steps.. with a little help 
Ella thought Paris and her sparkly "bling" top and belt was great...sending Andie off to tnt afterwards  
The ice-cream brigade.. in various states of drip'n'mess, lol, guess who bit the bottom outta theirs? 
From Left - Ayja, Paris, Hannah and Briona The same chickies.. pre-ice-cream 
And one of the mega-pics.. all the kids did very well to stay still for the pictures.. although looks like a few of the grown ups were mucking about instead... 
Ok, so, shoot me if I get it wrong, or the spelling of names wrong. Back row: Braedon, Mikaela, Kayla, Briona, Andrew, Becs and Josh, Me (Janine) with Ayja, Paris, Hannah, Bridie and bubs Middle: Nicola, Kelly and James, Teresa and Krystiana, Stacey and Daniel, Aimee, bump and Hannah, Ann and Rhyley, Carmel and Piper, Kels and Alize Front: Leish and Noah, Andie and Ella, Fay in the highchair and Claire ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Was super-fun! I don't think Fay has ever seen that many kids And Bridie's bub's name is Jake (Jacob). Oh Leish - for some reason I was expecting to see someone fair in your place  funny how things like this can be full of suprises -------------  |

Thats the first time Kayla has gone to play in the playground without me and I thought it would be ok since she couldnt get out and we were just across the room, unbelievable!!  ------------- Kayla Rose is now 4! James Sydney is nearly 2! |

That is so weird. I'd love to see that lady in a school-yard... she'd be kept pretty busy running allllll the 'lost' little children to the principles office! Actually I'm glad I saw you in T&T, because I was just about to pick Kayla up there and take her to the police station, see if they could find her mummy ------------- Andie |

Ann, I did notice that all the Palmy people left first, but I think thats cos most of them were there at 11.
And your mouth was open cos we were laughing at Rhyley eating Hannahs doll thing! ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

I also think mostly the palmy chickies had kids that were all turning feral ready for sleeeeeeep. My girls slept for nearly 2 hours.. I had just decided that maybe i might go for a nap when i put my head on the pillow i hear "me awake mum, me wake up" from Ayja's room, which of course i always know Paris won't be far away from coming down the hallway cos ayja wakes her up by calling out. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Andrew slept for 3 hours once we got home. I had a WW meeting at 1pm thats why I had to leave, otherwise I would of stayed longer. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Same here Janine - Briona usually has a sleep at 12, so stretching her to 1pm was about it for her! And I was in 120 parking so had to move the car anyways (had also arrived at 11). Would have been nice to linger but as they say "life goes on".
ETA: Briona and Kryssi were both asleep by the time we got home ------------- |

It was a lovely day. Fay had a great time with Noah and Alize, she likes meeting her new friends too. Had a few surprises of people who are totally different in real life to my perceptions from here. Great to put faces and personalities to friends.
Big big thank you to Keli for organising transport and driving under extreme distraction with one crying baby all the way from PN to Otaki and then another one from Otaki and 2 babies from Paekat to Wellington when Fay felt left out and joined Alize in the protest. And Leish for being a great road trip buddy I t was a great day to catch up with my friend Caroline who did the photos, I may have recruited her to our secret cult as well ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

How did I completely miss this thread Sheesh - I thought I was checking in here all day yesterday to see if there was anything. What a dork All the photos look great and all the babies/kiddies are super cute!!
I had a great time yesterday!! And Noah did too - when he wasn't banging his head on the chairs. Hope you haven't reported me yet Kels
Have to repeat Claire's huge thanks to Keli for being a complete legend with the driving yesterday. You were such a star and driving with the crying babies and totally keeping your cool was very cool. Hope that Alize and Fay were settled for the trip home. And I generally am darker IRL than people think I will be Teresa. Don't worry - I don't take offence [:) And I didn't buy anything at the PP outlet in Otaki Bombshell. I was very restrained. But am planning another trip up there in a couple of weekends time with hubby to do a big shop for the next size up for Noah - size 1 ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">
