Kids healthy

Both kids are back to normal and back at school. Hopefully that’s the last we see of the nasty 48 hour virus!

Sleeping Beauty dress

Shirley finished Kayra’s Sleeping Beauty dress. Now to keep them from destroying them before Jorja’s birthday party!

Jorja’s birthday party is postponed

So most of the kids that were going to come to the party were sick, so we decided to postpone the party till next week.

Was a good call because Jorja came down with the virus on Saturday, she was very lethargic and started oopsing in the afternoon.

Kayra slept most of the afternoon. Hopefully they both get well soon.

Kayra is sick again

After being fine before school, they phoned to say she was not good. She had come out with spots so it off to the doctor again. Spots were from the virus. After a bit of medicine she was much better.

Jorja is 5

Jorja had a rather quiet birthday this year. We decided to have the party an Saturday because lots of moms work or kids have activities in the afternoon.

So the day started early at 6 with her opening her presents. The theme this year was Cinderella.

Then it was off to school in her new Cinderella dress and the blue cupcakes.

Then after school she got presents from aunty Taryn grandpa George and Dorine.

She got lovely presents. Including the ones that only came on Friday when ouma and oupa got back from their two week camping trip

Kayra is sick

Kayra kept up up the whole night, getting sick practically every hour. Shirley took her to the doctor and there is a nasty virus doing the rounds.

She battled to keep the medicine down, so it was an interesting day.

Cinderella dress

Shirley promised the kids that she would make them new dresses. Jorja wanted a Cinderella dress and Kayra a Sleeping Beauty dress.

After a bit of swearing and many finger pricks the dress was complete and Jorja was in 7th heaven.

Grandpa George is back home

Grandpa George was in hospital again for a blood top-up. His Hb was down to 7.5 so he got 4 pints of blood over 2 days. He also got a drip because he was dehydrated. But a stubborn as usual, he wont drink anything!

Lola is in love

Lola loves the new bunny. She almost licked it to death, the poor thing looked like it had drowned! Amazingly the bunny seemed to enjoy the attention and didn't run away.

New bunny Ash

The kids got a new bunny and aptly named him Ash.

Shirley and the bee sting

I had to rush home because Shirley was stung by bees in our back yard. She is very allergic to them. Her face swelled up and she really looked in pain. Luckily it didn't affect her breathing.

The swelling lasted until Monday. She will be visiting the doctor to get something stronger for the allergy in case she gets stung again.

I have been threatened with death if I put any pictures on the blog, so there wont be any!

Jorja’s shoelaces

Jorja can now tie her shoelaces. After much moaning and telling dad that ‘I can do it, I don't need your help!’ she eventually got it right.

Now we just have to get her to put her shoes back in the cupboard…
