Those boots were made for walking

Much to my dismay and my wet feet I discovered the shoe separating from the sole. On further inspection I found that the sole was crumbling too. In short, my black boots were shot and no better excuse than to look for another pair. I wasn't actively pursuing a new pair of boots but I popped into a shoe store i have seen some shoes i like before. I spotted some boots I quite liked but they didnt have my size ... there was another lady trying on a pair one size smaller than I usually take. Well, she dindnt take them and they told me they have a smaller size if I'd like to try them (if this didnt work i was advised i could try ordering online) Anyway, tried them on, perfect fit and best part 60% off. Whoop whoop. MEant to be if you ask me. Oh, the shoe shop is called 'Novo' in case you were wondering :)

Kitty

WE spent a few days with friends in Brissie over the holidays and they recently got a kitten. Upon arrival Jos was quite nervous of this bouncy, quirky creature...that was around lunchtime, by dinner she was fascinated and touching kitty and by the next day she was carrying kitty, dragging kitty in the cooler bag, pushing kitty in the baby's (dolly) pram and even calling out 'kitty kitty' before bed - in the dark when she was meant to be drifiting off. She absolutely loved the kitty as well as spending time with Bella (2 and a half) and Chloe (5 and a half). Am I tempted to get cats again (we had 3 when she was born but rehomed them as it was just added stress of other cats getting into the house, them lying in the cot, pram, change table and a few other things.We will consider getting cats again in the future but we would like another little one so will wait and even better would be if we owned our own home. For now Jos chats to the neighbours doggies and kitties and is also pretty fascinated by the birdies in the sky.

Share the love

Jos showers her 'babies' with kisses. What a cutie!

Lunch

Lunch with my hubby :)

Creating space

We took the single bed out of Jos' room to create a little more space in her room. It has made a huge difference having some extra spac in there although she still spends most of her time in the TV room where most of her toys live and of course to watch her favourite show over and over again.

Coffee table

We got a coffee table - it matches our buffet and TV cabinet. We have seen it on the floor a while back - well we saw it in the catalogue again - it is a bit bigger than we remember hah. IT is a fab table though although I cant use a table runner on it just yet. Jos loves it and has to be discouraged from climbing on it as she thinks it is her very own play area. She does love putting her dollies in the drawers too. Yay for our new coffee table :)

Coffee date

Josci went to daycare and we went for coffee and a breakfast before doing a few things in town then heading to the dentist.

An birthday party

WE went to a work friend's birthday party. There was a piggy on the spit, pumpkin rolling and this game where 2 guys were joined together at the legs and one was blind folded and the other had to lead their way through an obstacle course. Jos was not pleased seeing her daddy take part in this one. Maybe it was the fact that they had to eat half a chilli each at the end of the race. Jos made it until 8pm. There were other kids there so she enjoyed watching them. It was fun but we left around 8pm. Jos fell asleep in the car and soon after she fell asleep we were stopped at a road block for a licence check and breath test. Jacques hadnt had much to drink but he asked the policeman very politely to please speak quietly since jos had just fallen asleep. The chop then says at the top of his voice (and you could see he heard every word - like he was trying to be funny) 'Sorry, what was that?' I could have given him such a fat slap but I think my dirty look was enough as he was much quieter after that. Some people!!! Anyway we enjoyed the party a lot, it was fun to get out and it started in the afternoon which made it kid friendly which was fab.

Happy kindling :)

SO I have been after a kindle for a while now. I was quite happy to settle for one of the 'cheaper' ones but lovely hubby bought me the kindle fire - colour and fabulous. Now to read some books or have some delays at places so I can pull out my kindle and be taken away to where ever my book may take me. YAY :)

Motherhood musical

Two weeks of holiday seems to fly by. I have not blogged and I apologise. Life seems super busy with a toddler on the loose :) One thing I did do in the holidays was go with a group of ladies from school and my mom's group to see the 'Motherhood musical'.It was hilarious. Jacques looked after Jos and I made my way out, fetched my friend Agnes and we scooted off to meet Louise and the school peeps. We also had coffee afterwards and laughed so much. IT was absolutely fantastic plus we only got home at 11pm. I was exhausted, I have not been up that late on purpose in ages :)
