2 Comments

So this weekend i didn’t do to much, but here are some pics anyway . . .

This year I decided to add a personal touch to every birthday gift I give out…my sister wanted money for her 19th (shes saving for a tattoo) but I wanted to add a lil something extra so i made a photo thingy for her room-yes photo thingy is a technical term:

The HOW TO pictures should be pretty self explanatory, and basically… I glued a photo strip of the two of us to blue card, added buttons to base and one as a “pin”. I then put the words sister love in gold and TADAH! a personal touch to her birthday present…already have thinking cap on for rest of the year’s gifts…
 
 
 
 

How cute, my hubby and daddy fixing up the crib for my baby šŸ™‚
 
 
 
 
 
 
We went fabric shopping for baby room and this is what we came up with šŸ™‚
We going for a nautical feel mostly because it was the only thing Rob and I could agree on. Thank goodness my mom sews because she will be able to make the duvet for bed (there is a extra bed in room) and cover feeding chair and even make curtains SCORE!
 
 
 
 
 

On a sad note, some family members lost everything in a fire this weekend šŸ™
They survived with only the clothes on their backs…
PLEASE keep them in your prayers

These are some of the random highlights of the past five days… Pictures are in no order what so ever šŸ™‚

Taylor and Kirsten show off their Christmas dresses

Anthea before Christmas lunch rendered her exhausted
Rob and I, oh my word I’m round and shiny (not long now) –
we are both pretty sunburnt too-no amount of sunblock seems to help šŸ™
Rob’s first attempt at a turkey was a winner
 

 

My cousin Ronethea (Taylor’s mom)

My parents…as in love as ever

Rob and his brother Allan trying to beat each other up, it’s weird but not uncommon
We spent a day in Jeffereys bay…love that place, here is my sister

My mom and I, my leg is the pasty, swollen one…aaah ankles how I miss you so
We had just come from spending ages in water, which should explain, need of pedicure

Could not resist getting Aidan (what we plan on naming little one) a Christmas gift

ļ»æ

My family had a games day yesterday…Rob and I opted out because we are
old and boring, lol, actually I was exhausted and swollen from heat and he
decided to “babysit” me instead. We live next to my parents though so still got to see family

Darts are such a must have with my family, that and dominoes…and cards….
 (actually they just competitive)

So this weekend….

Look at my pretty pictures šŸ™‚ I took it this weekend along with a maternity shoot I did (for those pics www.mybutterflylens.blogspot.com)
Any who the weekend wasn’t the best as my sister was attacked by a bunch of idiots, first she was mugged and then the people she turned to for help ended up being jerks who had some beef with my cousin, they then beat him up and when she tried to step in she was beaten up so bad that she woke up covered in blood and could hardly see or walk . . .  A case has been laid against them and although  it’s becoming increasingly difficult not to get involved with some vigilante justice we are trying to let the justice system do it’s work!
I’m quite peeved though, hate seeing my little sister so beaten up and in pain…the asses!

Our weekend in pictures

So what did I get up to this weekend . . .

Friday: we went to the Uitenhage Street Carnival, it’s an annual event in the town we live in and because my dad does lighting design for the event, I have not missed one year since I was a little girl, many people have contradictory opinions when it comes to the carnival, some believe its a tradition that needs to stay while others believe it’s an outdated nuisance. My opinion is that it’s something fun that signifies the end of the year and the beginning of the festive season. Although I no longer go every day of the 3 days that it is on I would really miss it if they decided to cancel. It’s like a giant street party and apart from the annoying drunk people (many underage)  that seem to plague the event it’s one of those things that I always kind of look forward to . . .

Rob hates pictures and has taken to pulling funny faces whenever I try to snap one

My cousins Kay-lynn, Nicole, (Nicole’s bff) and Caz-lynn

Can’t resist these potato thingies . . .
(wow if I wasn’t pregnant I’d be very concerned about the body shape in this picture)

 

 Saturday:  was spent at a baby shower for my friend Trudy, and her little girl Phoebe…. it was also spent in complete and utter shock from finding out that our little girl is now a little boy *WHAAAAAT* and after we were so sure and so excited. I like to think that God made me think the baby was a girl to spare me some anxiety because like I said before…the thought of having a daughter this time around kept me fairly sane.

 
 
 

 Sunday: We decided to have a picnic type lunch seeing as it was hot as heck indoors….I felt like a beached whale most of the day and something tells me this shall be a continued thing throughout summer, not so fun times

Weekend: Urban Run

Leave a comment

We did the Urban run this weekend…When I say did, I mean Robin ran the 10.5km obstacle race while I helped man the maze (one of the obstacles)…I had a blast even though it ended in a burnt face (IM IN PAIN) I really want to enter next year, it is truly challenging (just ask all those who entered) but it’s one of those things Iā€™m dying to say I DID THAT! so wish me luck
