My Day with the Kids

I went and fetched Shao and Blayze last week to take them out for the day. We went to my mom-in-laws house so that they could play with Olivia, my niece. Livy is only 4 days older than Blayze so they both 15 months. They were SO sweet together. They all played so nicely and had so much fun. Blayze and Livy were really so fond of each other. They shared so nicely and had a blast!

So i took some pics to capture this precious moment! This pic is so cute - oh so serious! Look at them holding hands man!

The three little munchkins... Look at Livy pinching Blayzes cheek like a real little girl.

Love it!

Just another cute one...

Livy just loved Shao and kept wanting to 'give her love'. She is so darling! Can't believe how big Shao has got - she turns 5 this year! Time just flies!


Look at them - ag man. I couldn't get over how well they all got on. But i must be honest, my mom-in-law and i were exhausted by the end of it and so were the kids!

More of our Garden...

Here are my special helpers! Working very hard.

Dev watering for me.

Just another pic.

I was so excited, i got my first flower from my Diete! It was a very special moment, so i had to take a picture!

My New Garden

Our poor garden was looking so sad at our granny cottage. So we decided to revamp it and what a massive difference it has made! I am now SO proud of our new little garden - it is so cute!

A huge thanks to my dad, mom and Devy Doo for all their help! We had such a fun day and it was worth all the sweat and blistered hands!

This first pic is the before...

This is the inbetween...

And finally, the after...!

I managed to find a little Penny Farthing for our centre piece. I just love it! Our land lords have gone totaly indigenous, so we had to follow suit which was great coz they paid for all the plants - Bonus!

So, for all those garden lovers, this is what i have growing in my garden:

Dietes Grandiflora, Bulbine Latifolia, Crassula Multicava, Crassula Spathulata, Agapanthus Africanus, Strelitzia Reginae and then good old mondi-grass and hen and chicken.

Our little bird bath. I still want to get a bird house so that birdies will come play by us...

It is so divine! It has brought me such great joy and i've just loved nurturing it. I sound like such an old fart, but it's literally therapeutic - especially watering it! Hehehe!

Feel It - It is Here!

Fifa fever has hit South Africa with a bang! What an awesome vibe - you can literally feel it! We headed down to one of the Fan Parks in Durban to watch the opening ceremony and first match - Go Bafana Bafana! It was an amazing game and the atmosphere in the park was electric! We had an absolute blast and were happy to draw the first game with Mexico.

The only snag was that i didn't get a supporters shirt, so i felt very out in my grey jersey! However, i did manage to support a 'Zacumi' sticker on my face!

Whoohoo - Ayoba!

Kitty - cat - Q lent me his radical cool glasses for the photo! Trust Kuen to go all out... What a soccer fanatic! Love the pic tho!

I was amazed by this random oaks haistyle. Somehow he managed to shave a soccer logo into his hair - incredible!

I had to get a pic of our magnificent 'Moses Mabeda' stadium. It is truely something to see and is even more amazing in real life! GO SOUTH AFRICA!!!
