A sunny happy day...

...after all the "doom and gloom" yesterday. My Facebook status this morning reads:So another morning, the US has a new (old) president, SABC bans the term Zumaville because it is apparently racist and we have found Leon's glasses after a 13 day frustrating hunt. Somehow finding the glasses is enough to make me a happy person today. I found the glasses last night in my clothes closet - in the second from bottom shelve with seldom used stuff. No idea how it got there but we have found it and I can not be happier! Some other bits also add to my happiness:
  • I won tickets to see "The little Mermaid" on Melinda's blog - so looking forward to using them during the December holidays
  • I also won a R500 Naartjie gift voucher on the Rattle and Mum blog - love that!
  • I managed to book a shoot with the photographer we used the Groupon for last year (and the lovely pics in my blog header and side bars) and guess what? Not only could we find a time but she has a special running! I am so totally happy about it - yes, it will be too late for Christmas cards but we shall just use one of the images we took this Saturday and I will still have my lovely pics for the wall and photobooks. Saturday just did not pan out as planned -the kids were not co operative, the light was not great, everything just did not "gel" - if you know what I mean.

  5. So glad you're feeling the sunshine today. Despite a verrrry late night for me (I couldn't go to bed without knowing the winner of the election!), I'm feeling the sunshine myself. We had a fantastic family day yesterday (school was out for the girls and husband because of the election), and the girls are playing nicely this morning. That's what it's all about!

    And love the look back at the glasses! I'm with Marcia...I just want to pinch those little cheeks in the first one! :)
