We went with Adele and Jessica to the Field and Study Centre to meet a whole lot of the parents from the creche that Jess has just started (what a good idea- arranged by one of the moms- don't you hate those super-organised people? But, secretly wish you were one of them?). What a beautiful place- drive in to a forest of trees and Adele tells me that there is a lovely river that you can walk your dogs there too.
Anyway, there were loads of moms and dads and kids everywhere and a few parties going on. It was really windy so when the foam machine started up at one of the parties, the bubbles were flying everywhere and it looked so pretty. I could not resist and we went gate crashing. It reminded me of a stationary Pied Piper because kids of all ages came streaming from all corners to pile into the foam. Christopher included- though he didn't get into the enclosure but because of the wind there was enough foam outside for all the littlies.
Skipped swimming this morning because Christopher had a snotty nose- but it seems to have magically cleared up now- good- then we can go swimming just now at his cousin's.
It is such a gorgeous day outside. James is trying to coax Christopher off the trampoline so that he can turn some ribs over that he has just put on the braai. I have never been a rib girl because I can't stand getting anything stuck in my teeth like mealie pips- but James did some a few nights ago and they were delicious. I will have to eat later though cos I have just had a jam donought and not very hungry.
Ahh- this is much better- I have moved the dining room table so that it is right by the glass doors that open onto the patio looking out onto the garden. The garden is looking so pretty. I am sat at the dining room table the doors open looking onto the garden - there is a cool breeze blowing through and I can smell the ribs cooking.
What a beautiful house Adele has. Huge big rooms and lots of light. Christopher was not impressed when we left there this morning as he had just discovered all the toys in Jess's room. I have promised him that we will return.
Today's treasures: spending time with my family, gate-crashing a foam party, eating a fresh jam donought brought home for me by hubby and this beautiful summer day. Just wish that I had remembered to put my memory card back in my camera so that I could have captured Christopher's delight at being immersed in foam.
The noisy life of living with a toddler- he is hammering out a tune on the jet master with a dessert spoon. The strange life of being a mother- I don't care... Only to happy for him to be entertaining himself.
Just pegged a nappy cloth around his neck so that he could have a rib and not ruin his fine Keedo top (I never figured myself for a label-mom- but I really have a problem with this shop- it is like a siren to me- calling to me and I cannot resist).
Anyway- time to get changed into swimming costumes and to go visiting. Finsish off with some of the photos Leanne (Christopher's creche teracher) took of him at school in January.
