holidays are here ....

its sunday night .. how can a weekend go so fast????

the girls broke up from school for two weeks on friday ... a friend gave me this great idea with an art station for our breakfast bar ... so i set it all up on thurs night, as a surprise for friday morning ... well, i got a wonderful response ... "you are the best mum in the whole world" .... it was worth while! and they have been so busy there each day creating all sorts of wonderful things .... i am so so so glad i did it! (don't you love emra's hair in this photo .... bed hair - lol!)
So its been a busy weekend, i cannot believe it sunday night ... i am in shock already!!!!!
We had a big baking morning on sat morning ... i love to cook, but must confess that i haven't been making much time lately for it! so we had fun .... the girls helped me ice cupcakes to take to one of my best friends sister's bridal shower ... (phew) they did a great job, and love helping me in the kitchen (i think so they can lick the spoons and bowls ... but that was my motivation too when i was young)
The bridal shower was so fun ... they organised a lingerie party - really good quality stuff, and put on this beautiful "high tea" afternoon tea ... so awesome! I should have taken my camera ... it was a treat to look at! they played a few games, but the last was the funniest ... you had to design a wedding dress wtih a roll of toilet paper and dress one person from your team ... well, you guessed it i was the model ... why is that????? i ended up with a tea cosy on my head, and various other bits and peices it was so hilarious ... i will have to get a photo to post, i seriously looked a treat .. and won the competition!

today i went to the markets and loaded up on fruit and veges ... in preparation for the week to come and also with the kids being home, want lots of healthy fruit for snacks .....

went for a 10km run this afternoon ... so am starting to fade now! have just picked up the phone ... its my little sister calling from England .... so so so nice to hear from her ... i miss her! they are just having an amazing experience .... gotta go and chat!

love the cupcakes! I too have been slacking on the baking. I would love to make an art station, but I fear the drawing on everything but the paper. Looks awesome though mom!
