The weekend that was...

was a really good one.

On Friday from 11:00, I took some much needed me-time, and believe me, it was well worth it. In fact, it has really done wonders for my soul. Although I am now clearly a bit behind on work, I believe the optimism of the day will have a positive influence on my productivity. At 11:00 I went to my hairdresser for a cut, colour, highlights and blow wave. I really felt like a million dollars and Hunter really loved the look. After that I had a great lunch of brie, fig, strawberry and rocket salad at Isabella's with a book and my trusty phone for company. I ate, read, wrote a bit. I recharged the soul and the body by having some red velvet cake and coffee just before leaving at about 3:30. It was bliss. (For a photo post of the visit , have a look at  Captured by Cat)
On Saturday morning we attended the family fun day at the Princess' school - all 3 the kids had at least 3 glides on the water slide, with the Princess going again and again and again.

Little K spent the afternoon with us and while the Boys slept, the two girls had some dress-up fun.
Yesterday our planned zoo trip was once again postponed by less than ideal weather and a spot of rain, so we took the brood to Spur after which we had a blissful almost two hour nap - and by that I mean the whole family. Amazing I tell you! After that I went to gym and the rest of the family for a walk. It turned out that we really needed that nap with the Princess getting sick in the night with a very slight fever and some puking.Till not 100% tonight - but let's hope for the best.

So how was your weekend?

  3. a 2 hour nap for the whole family!!!?? Heaven!!! Sometimes we really need to heed our own advice and take the time to rest and recharge!

    So glad you took the time to yourself Friday. We all need that time and we all know its hard to come by!

    It must be getting closer to summer for you - swim suits and water slides!? We're mid/late fall here now...

  9. That "ME" time is so important. Isabellas is lovely, but heck they're overpriced! Try Leonardo's next door, their muffins are DEVINE and reasonably priced. The service is also way better. (Just my opinion ;) )
