Just like some weekends are dogs -

you know, those ones that just leave you totally disappointed and tired - some weekends are golden. You get things done and achieved, you manage some great family time, you actually sleep (and have a nap) and wonder above all wonders, the kids were happy and amicable. This past weekend (thanks goodness because the previous one did not), fall into the last category. It was busy but golden!We had a quiet Friday and Saturday night and on Saturday the Princess had ballet rehearsals followed by a party. On Sunday we all attended an extended family gathering for a 40th birthday party. It was a great venue that does not specifically cater for kids but provides lots of room to play.

So what was yours like? And how is the week treating you?
Mine has been tough - two sick kids, a major drama on site on my project and just busy busy busy!

    Your weekend sounds great :) What a pity it didn't filter into the week for you too. I really hope your week improves!

    We had a great weekend and the week hasn't been too bad either. We have our car back ~ yay! Zoe started nursery school again today ~ double yay!

    Those are gorgeous pictures, Cat! I, too, love the one of Miss A running, and the very last one, too. :)

    I'm not quite sure I can remember the weekend...HA! I know we had a great lunch out on Saturday, which always makes me feel accomplished.

    And the week? We're working our way through Day 4 of no baby gates. Overall, the girls are doing well, but it's definitely been an adjustment. I've had to be more diligent, which is exhausting. I know it will just take some time, and things will hopefully have normalized by next week. Fortunately the weather has been nice, so we've been able to get out for errands and for walks and play. Fresh air helps everything!

    Hope your babes are better soon!

    Love all the pictures, especially "little girl secrets."

    Our week is going well, I took an exercise class Monday night for the 1st times is years. It felt great. I will be going back. Zumba is so fun!

      For some reason your comment box is not showing to me these days :( but if I click reply I can fool it into forgetting it's still me. Ha!

      Love the little girl secrets - we all need some, don't we?

      Hope the boys get well soon! Sick kids are no fun although the snuggles are lovely :)

    Can you feel my envy coming through your computer screen? Amazing photos! SO WISH YOU WERE HERE SO WE COULD HAVE FUN WITH OUR CAMERAS TOGETHER!

    I love the shots on your Captured By Cat blog too. Is that an app you're using to place the date on each photo? I love the look and way it makes all your pictures seem like perfect memories.

      As I think yours are stunning! The date is just a template I fit over on photoshop. But I am so behind on these

    Sounds like you had a good one and the pics are lovely as always. :-)

    My week so far has been the suck. My week is treating me like a red headed stepchild. There are not enough chocolates in the world to balance out the nasty of what my week's been

    But...tomorrow is Friday. Hope springs eternal. ;-)

    She makes such a cute "Liewe Heksie" with her missing front teeth. I love your happy photos and wish you many,many more such golden weekends.

    Mine was my birthday weekend...and it was quiet...just what I needed after all the busyness of the past few weeks.

    The missing front teeth really make Liewe Heksie look the part. Love the pics.
