October 2011

We went on the 1 October to the Uniondale Agricultural Show. On our way there we had to drive through a mountain pass and it was stunning. There was a river running alone the side of the road

John is going to be building in the counter soon then I will be able to get a proper kitchen.

 IMG00280-20111007-1621 Sharna and Aimee has the room that we where in all to them self's. I They have put a table up and nice new curtains so they are very happy that they have there own space.

IMG00279-20111007-1620 IMG00278-20111007-1620 We bought a wall unit so we could put some of our stuff away and also put the computer in it. John get to watch movies at night in peace now and not so loud that we now have the space to move.

IMG00283-20111009-1011 It was David’s 6th Birthday on the 9 and we made him a large cake. He had a good day, had a friend come and spend a bit of time with him and got lots of presents and junk food for the day.

IMG00289-20111009-1056 Jodie decided to chose David's birthday to stand up with the cupboards help. She is so cute.

IMG00306-20111009-1716 Sharna and Tristan. Tristan had just got back from Cape Town so they where happy to see each other and I was happy that my phone bill could take a break for a bit.

 IMG00311-20111013-1236 IMG00312-20111013-1236 We also celebrated Sukkot this month. We did not get to build a big Sukkot outside so we opted for a small one that the kids made.

 

IMG00316-20111017-1219 We also had a month of lots of baking and cooking. We have been making strawberry jam< so naturally we needed scones to go with the jam. ;-)

IMG00319-20111017-1312 We also had some very yummy bread. (think I picked up weight this month)
