Bonus day

Or that is what I felt about election day. For the first time since I was eligible I did not vote - my ID was just gone. Lost. But it took Hunter only about 20 minutes to vote and then he was off to catch up on work due to a day's leave and a day sick last week. So the kids and I have a great early winter day together and although I kept looking for that ID, we had a relaxing and fun day. I really feel I had the gift of a day with them, without all that the weekend usually brings.
So, we spent some time painting...



Playing and bathing plastic animals and insects.

Just relaxing on the hammock


And blowing bubbles (part of the SID exercises that all 3 the kids enjoy)
 Ouma popped in bringing cupcakes and later on we had a little braai. Almost perfect - if dad could have been with us it would have been 100% perfect.

    DH was playing golf on Wednesday so we only got to the polling station at 6 o'clock the evening and stood in freezing cold weather for 1and a half hours...but we did what we had to do;-)

    Stunning photos of your treasures!

    Awwww...that sucks about the missing id. Don't feel bad. I spent nearly 2 hours on Wednesday morning looking for mine. I eventually found it in the toy box. I was most annoyed with myself as I am usually quite careful with my id and drivers licence. I guess I will have to put my bags/purse in a place where little people can't reach and help themselves to my personal effects.
    I do love that we had a bonus day. And, as usual, I LOVE your pictures.x

    I really need to get a hammock - they are such fun and my kids love them. I thought there was a happy ending to the passport - sorry you're still looking! And I totally saw it as a bonus day :)
