However ... we have been a little bit busy ... the weekend he arrived we were hectic with the Villagers Family Fun Day ... all the plans and organising but there's not a damn thing you can do if you wake on the morning and it's pissing it down !!! ... the one thing we did not have on our list !!! Crap weather ... oh well having lived long enough in England we knew that we could not let the rain get the better of us ... soooo ... of we set at 6am to greet all the wet and soggy stall holders ... take their abuse for having a Fun Day on a crap and wet day and make the most of it ..
Over all ... taking the weather into account we still had a great FUN FILLED day ... the inflatable rides didn't even bother to turn up ... basterds !!! but the High School Choir arrived... sang beautifully for us, Sharkie arrived to entertain the kids and the mini rugby tournament took place ... so we had customers (OK I didn't even bother putting up my stall ... although I did put up my gazebo ... to protect some of us from the rain!!!) But I was kept busy running from stall holders to MC to prize draws to Miss & Mr HVJR Competition ... my photography skills were called upon ... and not a bad day .... not a bad day at all ...
We were all blerdy knackered on the Monday ... Paul and I got to spend the 1st week of his time here together ... Kelsey was still at school ... he loved having his dad around ... to watch him at rugger practise, meet the boys ... Paul and I got to have early morning breakfasts ... show Paul just how exciting my days can be LOL ... we met up with Bruce the Builder ... maybe have some windows & doors sorted soon ... hey might be nice to do SOMETHING on the house this year !!!
I had a huge long 'maintenance' list for Paul ... gotta keep him out of mischief LOL ... and have to say the weather played nicely too so our 1st week together was great ... Kelsey started his holidays on Friday ... handed over another EXCELLENT report card ... 1st in his class AGAIN ... dad has now set him his next challenge ... to be in the TOP 10 of his GRADE ... this term it was all girls ... and I think there's about 150 kids in his grade ... not exactly sure WHERE in the grade he came but next term he wants to be in TOP 10 !!! Well done Kelsey we all very proud of you xxx
Saturday 2nd April saw us off to The Shark Tank to watch the rugby ... bit of a disappointing game ... we lost badly against The Stormers (the team we beat last year to win The Currie Cup !!!) but we're playing badly cos Lambie ... my Toy Boy is injured and we all missing him LOL
Sunday was a hectically busy... although again very WET day ... we had a 1st Birthday Party to attend (and photograph for Juno) it was Tayton's Party ... and we had lots & lots of fun ... then we were off to June's to spend time with them and our Indian family ... baby Siana is also getting so big now.
Monday 4th saw us spending all Paul's hard earned money ... dad took us to the Pavilion ... shopping yippee !!! had a really great day ... well what else to do on a wet Monday ??? Shop & eat out !!!
We were in bed early Monday Night cos Paul asked me what I wanted for my Birthday on Tuesday ... to take photos of the sun rise over the Indian Ocean !!! That meant we were all up at 4.30am ... and a drive to the beach ... sunrise was due at 6.09am ... OOOps again ... the 1 thing we did not plan ... pissing down with rain ... so NO we did not see sunrise ... we saw night to day ... it just got a little bit lighter ...

AND Juno & her family joined us crazies ... well after all it was also Tayton's Birthday .... (yes lucky girl was actually born on my Birthday) ... us Aries chicks are all a little crazy !!! Even Steven joined us ... of course bitched & moaned about the craziness of it all and W.T.F were we doing at the Beach while it was pissing down ??? But give the man credit ... he did actually turn up ... so we gotta love him for that LOL
No really he was just there for the breakfast ... we were standing outside the Wimpy at 7am banging on the door for them to open for us ... Kelsey & Paul has some fun running on the beach ... the rain let up by about 9.30am and then we were home by 11am ... knackered ... the rain had stopped on the beach but it had moved up to the Misty Mountain (Hillcrest !!!) ... and it never let up for the rest of the day ... rain and rain was all we saw after that ...
Lawrence, Penny, June & Irena popped round on Tuesday night for a celebratory cuppa tea & slice of the cake Juno had carried all the way to the beach ... in the pouring rain for ME ... The Princes of Procrastination ... thank you Juno mwah xxx
So The Bellz decided that IF it was raining on Wednesday (6th) we were having a duvet & dvd day ... guess what .... we woke to rain, mist, cold shitty weather ... awesome !!!! We all slouched in trackies, wrapped in duvets, ate junk food all day and watched 6 DVD's in a row !!! Oh and huge pot of HOMEMADE Pea & Ham soup was made to keep out the cold ... I was bloody knackered by the time I went to bed last night LOL
Woke this morning ... with no plans and lookey, lookey ... the sun is shining ... although not too hot but a nice wind blowing so we can get all the washing done ... the boys have stocked up on pellets for the guns, and hey ho ... I'm blogging and downloading a weeks worth of photos !!!
WHAT AN AWESOME HOLIDAY !!!!
