The last week in June - our life in 365

Day 5/365 Monday 23/7 Mr L's annual appointment at the pediatric opthamologist. Sharing "Make a scene Farmyard" with a bespeckled friend. All the kids in the waiting room had glasses. One actually feels a bit "out" without them.

Day 6/365 Tuesday 24/7 A fresh stash of library books brought much joy.

Day 7/365 Wednesday 25/7 One of the street's chickens decided that our driveway looks like a great home. Just beware of the puppies!

Day 8/365 Thursday 26/7 The pansies the kids planted are such a joy

Day 9/365 Friday 27/7 Baking day at the boys' school - oaties snakes as the theme was reptiles. Such a great idea.

Day 10/365 Saturday 28/7 The kids and I went to Brooklyn Mall - the boys sporting their Wp (Stormers) supporters T shirts. A pity the Stormers lost.
Day 11/265 Sunday 29/7 We found the kid's favorite shoes in Woollies - new softies for all. The Princess' last pair as the biggest size (13) fits just. The boys are now both on a size 10 - L has cought up with C in terms of shoe size. Oh my soul, they are getting so big.
And as we are ending on the weekend, in summary we watched the Olympics opening ceremony, I saw South Africa and then went to bed - the boys went earlier and the Princess fell asleep somewhere aropund China. I thought our athletes looked great. Hunter stayed awake for the lighting of the flame - but did not make it either. After the mall on Saturday we napped . Saturday night was rugby and friends over for a braai and a late night for all and Sunday was spent at home with a Princess with a cold. And all round naps again. Yeah! I did see Cameron van der Burgh win his race last night - what a fantastic feeling.

  1. I'm so sorry to hear that your daughter got a cold :( Grrr.
    We have recorded the Opening Ceremony. This way we could all have watched it together from start to finish :)
    Love the photos.

  2. How cute are those Oatie Snakes? Might have to steal the idea for Polly's Entrepeneur's Day in Sept.

    Yay to beach shoes - need to get another pair for P too.

    And sounds like you had a fairly laid back weekend - aren't they the best?

  4. Lovely daily photos. Love those Oatie snakes. I didn't make it to the opening either...but DH did. We watched the highlights in bed on Saturday morning. Your weekend sounds very much like mine...slow and laid back. We did see all our children and grandchildren during the course of the weekend which is always great.

  5. um, i think i was with HEATHER while the ceremony was on :)

    are you doing a project 365? did i miss something?

    so have you heard of condensed milk injections. It sounds dreadful but delicious - my friend at work did those for her son's school fundraising thing. Apparently it's an Afrikaans thing?

  6. What a busy week you had! I managed to South Africa too and then I went to bed! Had a busy rest of the week-end, but am glad I watched! Way to go Cameron! Proudly South African :)

  7. I love those shoes...so cute and look so comfy! My kids haven't seen any of the olympics yet...I'll have to DVR some this week and let them watch some of the events I think they'll like.

  9. Guess where I'm going this weekend?
    Woolies! To find those exact shoes for Zoe. They are gorgeous :)

    I fell asleep at the beginning of the Opening Ceremony and haven't watched any games yet. I normally love watching the gymnastics, I really need to make a plan.

  10. I must go see what new shoes are available at Woolies. Nicola is on a size 8 now and she is very particular about her shoes (as am I, so I get it). We managed to get some really nice ones at MrP on Sunday...well I think they're nice, she still refuses to wear them at this point. ;-)
