Another Friday

I still miss my weekends. Friday is just not the same when you don't have the two day weekend. One day a week " to rest" is just not enough. By the time to are being to wind down on saturday afternoon - time to start thinkng about getting things organised for another week. Next week should be nice , we have friends staying for a few days from Canada. On sunday another birthday arrives , 35 can't quite believe it. A few weeks back thought about organising a cocktail party ,even considered a 1920's/ art deco theme but as usual didn't go with it. Just didn't seem the same without my two favourite ladies there ! I used to love my birthday when I was a kid , but the last few days the day just passes without a lot of fuss. I think that I need to start a tradition of spoiling myself on my birthday , day off work , sleeping in till whenever , painting my toe nails , I don't know something. I will let you know what I decide. Chances are I will work and have cake with the kids in then afternoon.

I love to ride my bicycle .....

Ok , so three things that made me happy and laugh today. I watched the Flight of the concord doing " Business Time " on Utube. I saw it for the first time with my brother Kees when I was in NZ a month ago and it cracked up up. Its so funny and true ,opps thats another blog. So rewatching it made me smile. I also looked at some photos from the last couple of months and there are some totally cute and funny ones of the kids, like Yonatan with a pot on his head and Maia screaming indiginantly when something was taken of her. Ok , the last thing Yonatan rode a two wheeler bike for the first time today, it only took him a few times of me running up and down with him. Yay ! I was so proud. He still needs some help to get started but its only a matter of time. There is something really amazing about that ; I still remember my mum teaching me to ride a bike and now I've taught my son. Less lecturing and disciplining and more memory making.
