November is Camping Month

....well, for us anyway.

We've booked and paid for our next camping trip.  Actually our first camping trip this year, WOW, now that I think about it, it has been a while.

Our last camping trip was December 2011!  So, it's been a while...  

We are booked in at one of our favourite resorts, Buffelspoort, for the weekend and I only hope that the weather is gonna be good and that our tent will hold out. 

Click Here to find out what happened last time we went to Buffelspoort in 2009.  Seems like a fekkin lifetime ago.

Roll on first weekend in November.  This lassies gotta get her camp on.

 

Happy 10th Birthday Megan

Megan had her 10th Birthday Partylast weekend and it was a glorious day, 32 degrees in the shade.  Everyone enjoyed the water slide and the pool.  It was a good day with loads of sweets, cake and smiles.  I asked Megan why she only invited boys to her party, she said "Girls are no Fun!".

The Party Packs that they kids took home after the day.  As if the sugar rush at the party wasn't enough!

Birthday Party *WARNING* lots of Pix

Yesterday was the girls' combined birthday party.

We celebrated Meg's 9th birthday and Kaylin's 6th birthday. However, Kaylin's birthday is only next month, but we thought we'd haved a combined party and have everyone over on the same day.

Invitations went out, water slide was ordered, house was tidied, cakes were baked and snacks were homemade. Here's some of the photos from the fun day we had.


Since we were having the entire party outside and the kids activities were all water-related, we were praying for the rain to stay away. Luckily, our prayers were answered and it only rained that evening but not only did it rain, but we had an electrical storm which took out another fucking modem! 

Grrrrr, I'm on the 3G card at the mo so that I can get this post out and schedule something for tomorrow.

Thanx for being so patient this week with all my lazy-arsed posts.  It really was the week from hell with us all getting gastro, school term starting, back to work and organising this party...

Thanx to everyone for coming and thank you to everyone for the girls' wonderful and generous gifts.  We had so much fun sharing the day with everyone.

A wonderful day I will never forget.
