Yep yesterday the 22nd November was our 7th wedding anniversary. Its been a bit of a hairy 6 months but I think we are back on track. We went out for a celebratory meal last night to a new Taiwanese restaurant. It was great. We splashed out on a bottle of Champagne and started with Soup, then we shared, Chicken and cashew nuts, beef and black bean sauce, sweet and sour pork and a bowl of steamed rice. I really enjoyed it and it was fun to try and eat with chopsticks again LOL. We ended with bowties and then went home. All in all a great evening. Its going to be a busy week this week. Its my nephews 7th birthday today and Martyns on Thursday.

A Great Weekend
Hi everybody. Well we had a great weekend. I started on Friday, myself and some friends went to see the new Bridget Jones Movie. We had a great time, the movie was just as good as the first and I was in stitches, its a must see. Then we went for something to eat. It was a stunning evening. Warm and calm. (storm was on its way) Martyn took the boys to one of the ladies I was with, house. Her hubby decided if the girls were having a night out, the boys could have one too. LOL. So they had a bbq and had a good time too. I met them there and we stayed a bit longer then went home. They boys had a great time and they were really good.
Saturday was my nephews 4th birthday party and we ended up staying a bit longer and the kids had a swim. Luke is really keen and he was splashing around with arm bands now in the kiddie section. Adam showed no fear and just wanted to copy the older boys who were diving in. Nerves. At least neither of them are not wanting to get in. They loved it. Sunday was a rather quiet day and we bbq'd for lunch. Watched some music DVD's and I did some cross stitching. Just a nice relaxed day.
Now its Monday again LOL. Just comes too soon, doesnt it.

Weekend was great
Hi all, well it was a great weekend. Spent some good quality time with the boys.
We initially though had to get the cat vaccinated for her spell in the nursery while we are away at Christmas. Wasnt that a joy as I dont have a cat carrier and she was not impressed with being put in a cardboard box. So I ended up wrapping her in a towel with just her head sticking out.
We took the boys to a mini street plan that the local council/municipality has laid out near to us, purley for teaching groups of children, rules of the road when riding bicycles. The went round and round the layout having loads of fun, stopping at the traffic lights and stop streets. Then we took them down to the beachfront and we all had an icecream cone. Messy but great fun. Came home and barbequed some meat and sausage and just chilled.
Sunday was relaxing too, we popped a chicken in the weber to roast and relaxed outside, it was a beautiful day and we made the most of it. We ended up at My brothers to celebrate his sons 4th birthday and didnt get home till really late. But it was a great afternoon and evening. Yay summer is here.

Okay so this pic thing just posts them separately, thing to do would be to load pics first then say your say LOL.
Anyway this pic was taken the afternoon of Halloween, as you can see it was rather a hot day for us I had the umbrella up on the lawn over my lounger cause that way I got some breeze blowing which helped cool us down. It was too hot under the patio.
But a great day anyway.

We dont celebrate Halloween in SA but we carved a pumpkin anyway...
Luke spotted a carved pumpkin in one of the supermarkets and although this country is just starting to see Halloween as an event of note, most people just see it as another day and you dont get any trick or treaters yet.
Well we decided that we would buy a pumpkin and have a go at carving one. We (Martyn and I) had no idea at all how you are supposed to do it but we thought we would give it a go anyway.
It was a hot day on the Sunday and we were in the garden under the umbrella, you can see how warm it was by looking at the boys' flushed faces. The pumpkin turned out a huge success and Luke was really really excited. We had to wait till quite late to put the candle inside so it would light up. Poor thing, he wanted us to leave it lit all night in his room. Yeah right.
Okay I tried to upload a pic but its not working so I will have to work this one out guys, be patient.
Thanks

Well I finally did it.
Yes I got my own blog. LOL I couldnt be left out when I know all my friends have one.
Plus it will keep my family up to date overseas.
Recent happenings in our family , well Luke and Adam are growing at a rapid rate. Luke seems to have just shot up out of nowhere its crazy.
Yesterday I took him to the harbour as there was a Navy vessel docked and was open to the Public for a few hours. Well he loved it. Unfortunately I didnt get to take my camera as it was all a sort of spur of the moment thing. But it will be locked into our memories forever.
Keep coming back for updates. I promise to do my best but I cant guarantee that it will be everyday.
