A break much needed

So I successfully managed to suprise mum as well as well as a few peeps by arriving in Dbn by suprise.I had been starting to feel some what irritable at work after season and needed to getaway and more so the timing was just right after having just moved the week prior!(More details and pics on that later)I decided not too plan too much as I always go back CPT feeling real tired.The week thus far has been just right spending time with mum and the Schrueders as well as catching up with Playa.In Kwambo at the moment and wow there has been SO much that has gone on with refurb in the house that looks absoultely amazing wow just to see the Kwambonites! It was so sweet to get big smiles from the boys on arrival and a sweet hug from Aziz.Pics below from the week thus far.

Xaviers 1st bday....Catching up with friends......

Had a great memorable time in Josies-the family were there as well as caught up with Bianca,Sam and Kamal. Xaviers party was really sweet and I got to spend quality time with the kiddies. They were SO cute and amusing. Lots to add to this post.....

I went to the airport REAL EARLY hoping to go on stand by for an earlier flight in order to max. my time spent with the family only to find out from the sour BA lady that they dont offer that service anymore and if you would like to change your flight you must pay. Luckily Adhil was still there and he sat with me while we checked the costs of changing etc and I thought I am going to pay the difference even though a tad steep cos my family time is much more worth it and valuable! I got in at JHB airport (great flight-still have a major fear of flying and each time I say to myself I have to do something about!)after a smooth flight to my relief (even though I was so ill from a night awake of being ill)and shortly after Mr.Incredible and the family arrived. It was so so good to see them and Zar(looking bright and Zar managed to take the afternoon off) arrived to pick us all up. Spent the afternoon watching the boys swimming. It was great fun.

Day of the party mum was there and we got things going helping as much as we can. The weather played with us as a storm broke but it sure cooled things down. All worked out well and the kids loved it. The birthday cake I believe was a "Nigella Lawson" cake made by Stephen and he iced it so well too. All enjoyed the party and one of the many highlights for me was getting to bath Nico and Aziz and listen to their creative minds re the stories of the toy underwater creatures they had in their bath and I found out from Aziz that a shark had once bitten Aroons' leg!

On Sunday Bianca and I met with Kamal at Sandton Square for breakies-it was great catching up. Sunday afternoon I joined Sam and her family for a picnic at Zoo Lake where we did a lot of catching up! Of course spending one night at Sam and familys' new place was not enough time! We chatted and chatted and chatted till late that evening. Monday morning it was a great feeling to still be away and not have to get ready for work and Sam, Saads and I went for a brunch at "Tashas'" and then Sam took me to the airport.
