Sausage toes!

I have sausage toes and a huge fat foot... the swelling hasn't really gone down since I sprained it on Sunday although last night my foot was actually quite a bit more swollen!!

I am missing gym and feeling annoyed - I was hoping to wake up today and my foot be all better.... but what can you do!! I'll make a dent in my reading lists so its all good!

W.T.H (what the heck)

On Sunday we went to get some lunch fixings at spar and what did we see - the weirdest hand cleaner - I of course had to try and it was really cool! They had these two huge brushes that spun to clean your hands while dispensing hot water and foamy soap!

I wish I had one of these at home, my hands smelt so lovely and clean all day!!!

Beach walk!

Yesterday we joined some of our church friends on a beach walk - Grant was there and hes raising money for a charity called COCA, its all about enabling communities to be productive and self sustaining, its an awesome initiative! We are doing something called "march maddness" where Grant (our one elders at church) takes money for dares and gives it all to charity. He got paid to shave off his hair into a mo-hawk and stuff like that and he has RAISED so much money so far, its awesome!!
Grant was also paid to skate down the beach front in a pink speedo and that where we were yesterday... with him on the beach!!  Of course the pups came with us!

 Some of the crowd going for the walk...

Grant looking AWESOME - he was roller skating with a granny walker cause he cant skate :) Tooooo funny!!!

 My precious husband and our precious pups!!

 A lovely dovey moment!

We walked about 2.5 - 3 klms to the other end of the beach front and It was a lovely afternoon until i took a run on the beach with the pups and twisted my ankle - it was SO embarrassing!! I was running back and forth into the water with the pups and when I ran into the water I hit a little ditch and twisted my ankle... bailed into the water, with my clothes on, in front of a beach full of people - NOT COOL but hey, what can you do!! On top of all that we then had to walk back the 2.5 - 3lkm's back to the car - mike offered to run and fetch it but at the time it was ok! As the evening wore on it started swelling and bruising and today it is really sore! Going for acupuncture tomorrow and Friday to see if that will help - I'm sure it will!!! So frustrated I couldn't go to gym today and probably for the rest of this week but ya..... just want my ankle to feel better because on Sunday we have booked for a 10lkm fun walk so we'll see :) Good times hey!!

Hatty birthday...

Last night we went to our friend Chan's birthday party and it was a "hotdog ho down"... the catch was that everyone had to wear a hat - any hat! We had lots of fun getting ready, check out all of the pics of us in hats!! We had SO much fun with the camera :)

 Why do we always feel the need to make a peace sign when we wear hats??

Selfies...best ways to take pics :)

I painted my nails BRIGHT PINK for the occasion!

 Mike looking like a trucker!

 Me looking like a hatted lady :)

We had lots of fun and it was cool to see everyone in their hats.... some cool, some not so cool but fun all around!

Happy moms day!

So tomorrow is mothers day but we celebrated it today instead of tomorrow cause its always busy on the day... we took the moms (and dads and pups) to the Botanic Gardens for a picnic! It was perfect weather and LOVELY!!!
I packed a delicious picnic and made sure there were proper tea cups for the moms ONLY (and bland mugs for us)...

We got our moms a very little pressie too - fruit balsamic vinegar for my mom and fig jam for Mikes mom!

 We also dressed the pups for the outing, they each wore their lovely bandanas -

 and look at Hollys hair up!

The doggys were hitched to my leg via their leads - holly actually chased a duck and we got in trouble so we had to make sure they were hitched to something :)

 The yummy treats :)

 Our moms LOVE tea so there was plenty of that too!

 Some family pics :) Mike was taking the photo so he wasn't in this one :(

 The doggys LOVED the park!

 Tims having some lunch.... chomp chomp!!

Mike, his dad and the pups chatting away!

What a lovely day - HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL!!

Snack time!!

Ooooh I am on a health kick again and seeing as I am a snacker I decided to try and find something healthy to snack on - roasted chick peas! YUM! I just add some garlic and chilly spices and I'm good to go...

Mike says it looks like birdseed and isn't too keen BUT I like them!!

Spare change...

Yesterday we had a late rushed morning and I ended up leaving my breakfast at home - no worries I figured I would just go and get some until I realized I had also left my wallet at home - ooops!!
I raided my little money box at work and this is what I came up with, just enough money to get some breakfast!

 It was embarrasing paying for my breakfast with a million R2 coins BUT I got over it quite quickly... I put the money in my jersey pocket and jingled all the way to the shops!

 Hmmmm scrambled egg and health bread - I was 50c short for a coffee - you win some you loose some!!

I have never been so happy to have my little stash of coins raided!
