Hippie dog

The kids were drawing with their chalks outside and Meg happened to lie on one of the drawings. Then she was walking around for the rest of the afternoon with a flower print on her side!

The terrible twins

I love it when cats sit next to each other like this and mimic one another's movements!

Note to self

Always check the tumble drier before closing the door!

Another cheat pic! I took it last month, but it could have been taken today - weather-wise anyway!!! Table Mountain as we were driving. That's Canal Walk and Ratanga Junction on the lower right of the p

Shaelyn doesn't really like sweets like lollipops and jelly beans, but give her chocolate and she's a happy little girl! This is her plate of Astros. We had to put them in a plate cos she was spilling them all over the floor!

How awesome is this cake!? We went to a birthday party on Saturday and this was the birthday pair's cake (brother and sister). The white things on the mouth are the candles.

Another cheat photo, taken on another day! These dolls live in the bathroom, their lilypads float so the kids play with them in the bath. On a side note, I'm quite pleased with this photo because it was not blurry! I struggle to get my close-up photos perfectly sharp.

Another pet photo, this is Megabyte our Labrador. We call her Meg or Meggie. If you look carefully you'll see that her one canine is broken - she chews things!

My toe socks - that's what I call them to differentiate from "normal" socks! These ones are special cos the moons and stars on them glow in the dark and look hilarious! My sister gave them to me, which is rather funny as she and I both have quite a "thing" for glow-in-the-dark goodies. As kids we always used to steal the glowing toys from each other! That said, I think she's worse than me in her passion for it - the ceiling of her bathroom is painted with glow-in-the-dark paint. It looks amazing, but I don't think I'd go that far. I have the leftover tub of paint and I don't know what to do with it....

This is Tristan's star chart, he is working towards getting a Bionicle toy that Rob bought. We were going to just keep it for him for Christmas but he found it and has been nagging for a week to get it, so I decided to make him earn it. 12 stars and he gets his toy - that's what the little picture-thingie at the bottom of the chart is supposed to represent. He decorated it for me. (He's up to 4 and a 1/2 stars now, by the way!)

And it was colllllllld again this morning!

I made this moon when I was pregnant with Tristan, one of my experiments. Each side is different. Both kids played with this as it hangs over where the changing mat used to be.
And then below is the real deal - the moon above my kids' school when we dropped them of in
