Today is a public holiday - Freedom Day !!! so as it fell on a Tuesday the local schools decided they would also give the kids Monday off too ... so, now we know what a 4 day weekend feels like ... and boy is it a bit confusing ... I don't actually know what day of the week it is ???
BUT I have decided that 3 day weekends are good, 4 days not so good ... Kelsey coped with Saturday/Sunday and yesterday ... today he's been 'bored' even though he has a new PS3 game to play ... and he's eating me out of house and home ... maybe that's cos he's bored ???
Jason (a.k.a Harry) & him begged me on Friday night to let Kelsey go to Jason's for a sleepover, I had to play the thoughful mum (for a few seconds !!! LOL) ... I'm only joking, I love the fact that Kelsey has a new friend (a rugby buddy) and because they don't go to the same school it means they don't get 'fed up' with each other. Kelsey loves going round there cos they have a huge garden with "tons of stuff to do" (unquote). I was a bad mum on Saturday afternoon when I had to collect him ... but last week he complained about having hurt his back and Cindy said he'd complained about a sore ankle on Friday night ... so Aunty Iris (who is a pysiotherapist) had a look at Kelsey's back and his foot for him on Saturday afternoon !!!
Aunty Iris (that's mum's friend who she had gone to the Wild Coast Sun with for the week !!! Gambling !!! ) had to go back home to JHB on Sunday ... so I made sure before she left I had a good back/shoulder/leg & foot massage too .... OOOOh heaven ....
But hopefully I made it up to Kelsey cos on Sunday before we took Aunty Iris to the airport I took him back to Jason's place and left him there for the day ... (Poor Cindy & Robin - Jason's parents LOL) The two boys decided to 'clean out' their store room ... Kelsey came home with an old typewriter ... he has had so much fun trying to get it to work !!! Mind you driving me crazy with the clack clack of the keys !!!!
I've had a great weekend ... been a very 'busy bee':-) ... getting ready for my 'craft stall' at the schools Family Fun Day... 8th May ... decided I'm going to let the kids 'make their own ... personalised bracelets, bag charms, cell phone charms and anything else they care to make in beads with their names on !!!
But of course I have to make a few as demo models and to get my pricing right ... ;-)
This is my little beading corner ... in fact it's not actually a corner ... it's kinda in the middle of the dining room just against the wall ... ok enough of that ... I work on this table cos it's easy to pick up and move around the house, to where ever the lights good !!! {what can I say I'm weird like that !!! }
These are the 'school bag' clip/danglies/thingies that they can make {anybody got a good name for them?}:
Recognise any names ??? Think I maybe had some of your kids in mind ???
Oh! well took a break from my creating to blog and let you know what we've been up to ... and give the fingers a bit of a rest ...
