Weekend Round Up

There is little chance that meteorologists can solve the mysteries of weather until they gain an understanding of the mutual attraction of rain and weekends. ~ Arnot Sheppard

Friday evening was very relaxed, I came home and Thando was asleep and well Miss K was awake as usual.  Miss K and her dad caught up on some ‘reading’,while I took a long bath by myself with the door closed. :-) You never realise how much you miss the little things when you have little people running around.We sat around watching tv and eventually went to bed early <Thando woke up the next morning>

Saturday we woke up and the weather was miserable, raining and cold.No chance of the kids playing outside, so I put the tv on to entertain them and secretly hoping it would baby sit them while I napped a bit(Bad bad mommy I know) as I had woken up early but Miss K kept coming to ‘check’ on me every ten minutes or so and she kept yanking my eye lids open and saying ‘watey watey mama’ and then she would run out the room giggling and go play with Thando.When I was awake Miss K did not come check on me once, I guess she doesn’t like sleeping mommy. <Every time Thando comes over for the weekend I seldom see Miss K cause she is so in love with Thando everything is about Thando and she imitates everything Thando says and does. It’s cute but in Thando’s world Kamva is a girl and he is a boy. :-) > At night Kamva did not wake up and want a bottle and I assumed she was just tired as she hadn’t napped at all during the day.

Sunday we woke up to a beautiful day Sun was out and it was warm. We had a relaxed day and some family came to visit which was nice. I also managed to get all the knots out of Kamva’s hair, had been putting it off during the week. We had to bribe her with ice lollies and chips just to get her to allow me to touch her head. Thando and Miss K got a chance to use up all the energy they had from Saturday by playing ball outside.When it eventually was doodoo time they both passed out :-)  I also tried potty training and Miss K was nappy less for most of the day :-)  But will have to write a separate post about that later

Afro all tamed :-)

Doodoo time

We had a very quiet and relaxed weekend but I still managed to wake up tired.

P.S How was your weekend?

Lots of Love

I love, love weekends. Come Monday morning I am already looking forward to the weekend :-)  We never really have anything planned but have fun none the less.

This passed weekend we went to visit Sam and Miss k had a ball with Sam’s son, Cayleb. Cayleb has a little swimming pool and as soon as Miss K saw it she wanted to jump inside and we couldn’t get them out when it was time to go home. Miss K kept imitating everything Cayleb was doing and they where both just having lots of fun swimming and eating sweets while Sam and I chatted away.

The plan was for Sam and I to chat and catch up but we spent more time mothering the babies then talking :-)

Sunday we spent the day with daddy. And next thing we knew it was Monday again and Miss K didn’t want to wake up :-)

Lovely weekend all round

 

Lots of love

Family Photo Shoot

Weekends are always so short but so great cause I get to spend time with Miss K. This weekend we went for a photo shoot at Image Perfect and it was unplanned, my friend Nosipho, was supposed to go but she had other commitments so we went in her place. What fun we had, Miss K was all over the place  and the photographer was complaining that she was too quick and she can’t good shots but must say the pictures came out very nice considering they where not edited at all just a few where made black and white. 

Some of my favourite pictures from the shoot.

June school holidays are upon us again and my brother’s son, Bibo, came for a visit. Miss K seemed very fascinated by him, not sure if it was because said cousin is a boy or maybe she could ‘feel’ he was family.  It was their first time meeting each other.
