Week - End Fun
23 -25 January
Friday afternoon we went to pick Daniel up from Ouma and Oupa's house and boy was he misreble thankfuly that stopped when we got to the shop and did our grocery shopping. Talk about getting the chores done.Came home had supper and then the plan was to watch a movie but Colin went inside and put Daniel to bed and then put himself to bed to. So I sat up doing crafty things for Daniel's party in April.
I started watching a movie by myself and fell asleep tooo.
Saturday morning was up early to get the dog to the vet to have her stitches taken out that was quicker than I expected Daniel went for his nap but screamed his head off as no one was with him.I did some more craft and I am getting there. Oh I did not tell you I found some paint for me to use on the margerine tubs.This party thing is comong together...
I got ready packed bags and all the rest because Daniel was going to sleep over at his cousins house. Dropped Daniel off and off we went to Nazli's birthday party held at the Winchester Mansions Hotel in Sea Point. That was really nice and the food was good. We then went to some place for a drink with Craig and Karin and got home quite late.
Sunday morning went to pick Daniel up who was already swinging in the park... Poor kid was exhausted and had to go to creche that morning.We were on creche duty on Sunday morning and i found the security thing an issue as there was no real control at the door which made me feel a little bit uneasy... Tow kids manged to open the door and if I was not there they could have gone walkies...
Came home made lunch and had a chilled afternoon.
Thats all for now...

Week End - Break away!
Week end Break away!
Hermanus 16 - 18 of January 2009
we packed most of the things on Thursday night.
We went home packed the car and went to fetch Daniel and off we went on our journey...
It was a long drive we hit traffic at Somerset West and decided it would be wise to stop have a stretch and something to eat.We decided we would take the coastal road and we arrived at the house at about 9:00 thankfully Daniel fell asleep in the car and his nappy was changed when we stopped so we unpacked made a bed for him and he slept like a log.
Saturday morning while I was in the bathroom Daniel woke up so Daddy to him to the beach as it was in walking distance from where we stayed.I bathed Daniel quickly and we took a trip into town had breakfast at the wimpy and had a look at the flee market. We found Nazli a present there. Then I had to go to Mr price to find Nicole a present. Then went to the house so Daniel could have a nap and the rest of the gang fell asleep as well.
We woke up chattered for a while and then got some take a ways for supper. Had a quiet evening.Sunday morning while I was in the bath Daniel found his shoes, took them to his Dada so they could go for an walk. The rest of us joined them there. I started packing up all the goodies and we started our trek back to Cape Town. We were back at home at about lunch time.Unpacked had some food and relaxed a bit

While we were away we saw a lot of sheep. So Daniel who was saying Ma just fine started calling me Baa.It's so funny because if he sees a helicopter or aeroplane he calls Dada but if he sees a train he calls baa because during the holidays I took him to the station to see the train.

Well our offices closed on the 19th of December for three weeks. Which was awesome...
The first week of the holidays was pretty much spent at home organising things for Christmas ect....

We went to St James on Christmas morning and then home to prepare food ect...
We had a great afternoon allthe kids loved their presents and the two cousins had a great time in the cot and they got up close and personal.. Very Sweet in deed...
Michael blew massive bubbles for the kids and they loved it.
We got home late that afternoon and we were all rather exhausted...
My Dad came over and so did Colin's parents for some tea and cake and Daniel got his present which he has been looking at for a couple of months but the poor kid was so exhausted that he was not that excited about his new tricycle.
We got a surprise visot from friends who popped in to wish us... The house was a little chaotic with bath time and still unpacking stuff. But was great to see them.
Saturday we went to my bosses place to organise our get away which was nice we then rushed off to pick up little Liam (he is Colin's Deceased cousin's child so we do try and spend some time with him but not enough) We were planning to take him out but he had a ball at home with Colin. Daniel went for his afternoon nap. Which gave Liam and Colin some alone time as Daniel was getting quite irrated having to share his Daddy.
Sunday we were on creche duty which is always great to spend time with the kids. We went to the shop afterwards to buy stuff for out trip to the farm just outside Greyton.
We had some food and then started packing for the big day so many things to remember...
We got to bed later than I had hoped so we did not leave as early as i had hoped.
Well we got up and shwered, dressed and packed the car put Daniel in the car who was still in pj's and set off for the farm.Rod and Nicky were going to join us for a couple of days and we met them on this long gravel road and we could not find the farm at first and hten as we were driving I spotted a sign that said Soutfontein and that is where we should have turned. We drove on a rickety bridge which thankfuly did not collapse on us.
We made toast and then just relaxed for the afternoon.
Suppertime came and Nicky volenteered to make supper for us so that was pretty cool.. We had a jummy pasta.We chattered round the table for a bit and then just went to dream land. Daniel did very well as his cot was in the lounge in front of the stairs so that he could not go exploring.( Especially since we sleepwalk from time to time)
Tuesday We had all the farm workers childeren playing in our little place.we went into Greyton to have a look at the Town. We had a scon at the Greyton Lodge and a jummy milkshake.
We headed back so Daniel could have his nap. The rest of the gang enjoyed riding the quad bikes.I took Daniel for a walk on the gravel road and he loved it he would stop and play with the stones
We decided we would braai and a good time had by all.We learnt a new word Kids = Klonkies.
Wedesday Daniel got to go on a quad bike while uncle Rod drove and Daniel sat in the middle with Daddy holding on to his boy. He loved it....A real little man in the making...
We went for a little walk and before you know it its lunch time more food to be eaten. He then had a nap while the rest of the gang enjoyed the quad bikes.When Daniel awoke from his nap Colin and I took him for a walk.then relaxed a little bit while the other two went for a "romantic drive" except that they had Klonkie with them most of the time. We had a braai and a very quite New years eve in deed. We were half asleep by the time(hey we must be getting old). Thursday Rod and Nicky and carried on to george so it was nice to have some alone time. Thurday we had lunch Daniel had his nap and then we took Daniel down to the river.He loved it there.We had supper and chatted for a while. We were even able to watch a movie.
