It's been awhile

Yes sorry to all that has been visiting my blog.It has been a hectic few months.

So let me fill you in with what has been happening in and around my barn.

The twins had their second birthday in April and they had a blast.I had to bake 2 Bob The Builder cakes and dad had to make some goodies to fit the theme.Here is some pics.

They had a fabulous day and went to bed dead tired.I can't believe they were 2 years already.

The cow went head banging

Oh yeah I have had a great 2 days.

Slept over at my sister's place on Thursday night.We had some red wine and went to bed in the early morning of Friday.Got up at six and was waiting for the rest of the gang to get ready.

We had tickets for the Coca Cola Rock Festival in Johannesburg.Yeah.
Eventually we hit the road and we were on our way to the New Market Racing Course in Alberton.
The show started at 12 and kept going to well after 12 at night.
The line up was awesome with some outh African bands and then later the International bands.
We listened to the following S.A Bands:

1. Lonehill Estate
2. Crash Car Burn
3. Wonderboom
4. Prime Circle

Awesome stuff.We met up with some friends and was smuggled into the Golden circle.When we went to buy tickets the Golden Circle tickets was sold out.They had a huge Golden Circle area to big if you ask me.They could have sold some more tickets easily.

We then enjoyed the following bands:

1. 30 Seconds to Mars
2. Kaiser Chiefs
3. Good Charlotte
4. Chris Cornell
5. Muse
6. Korn

Jared from 30 Seconds to Mars is just so hot.We perved and enjoyed the show.
Muse was huge.The crowd went ape and when Korn went on(My Favorite) they went ape sh@t.

I was awesome to be able to see all these bands.They all said they love SA and will be back.
Here is some pics.Sorry for the quality as I had to use my cellphone as no cameras was allowed.We however succeeded in smuggling n the whiskey tot pack.Won't tell you were those was stashed.

The birdie flew the coop

So a week after he made himself at home we came home the Friday afternoon and he had left.
I think he enjoyed his stay in our pool but it was time for him to continue on his journey.

Fly save little duck.

The birdie is staying

Ok, so the vet in Johannesburg that wants the duck insists that I catch him and drop him off.There is no way I am too scared I will hurt the little fellow.Therefor he is staying for know.He flew in so maybe he will fly out again when he is ready.

Here is me in the swimming pool with the duck.

A birdie came to visit

A very strange duck flew into our pool on Saturday and he has made himself comfortable.

It is called a Wood duck:

The Wood Duck or Carolina Duck, Aix sponsa is a medium-sized perching duck. A typical adult is about 19 inches in length with an average wingspan of 29 inches. This is about three-quarters of the length of an adult Mallard. It shares its genus with the Asian Mandarin Duck.

The adult male has distinctive multi-colored iridescent plumage and red eyes. The female, less colorful, has a white eye-ring and a whitish throat. Both adults have crested heads. When swimming, wood ducks bob their head back and forth in a jerking motion, which makes them easy to spot.

Their breeding habitat is wooded swamps, shallow lakes, marshes or ponds in eastern North America, the west coast of the United States and western Mexico. They usually nest in cavities in trees close to water, although they will take advantage of nesting boxes in wetland locations if available. Their personality is shy and skittish.

Here is some pic's of our new pet.
I have phoned the Bird and Exotic Animal Clinic and they will relocate him to a new home.

Mommy we played at school today.Yes.......

I picked my daughter up from school last weak and was on our way home when I asked her what she did today.She replied politely that they played and oh, 2 of her friends made out.In Afrikaans it went like this(I am not going to mention the said individuals names) $$$$$ and $$$$ het gevry.

I nearly went of the road and new that she did not know the word so maybe she did not understand it.I started asking questions like:

Where did this happen? On one of the play gyms that has a place for them to crawl in.
Where were you? In there with them sitting at their heads. HUH?
So where were they sitting? They were lying on top of each other and kissing.
How did they kiss?Was it like mommy kisses you? No and she showed me using her hand.

By this time I nearly went into a tree.I don't bring up my kids as conservative as my parents did with me but this was way too much for a 4 year old to comprehend.

This only indicated to me that there is not proper supervision at her school.I went the next morning and had a discussion with the teacher.I explained that I was not happy with this and that I hope it was taken up with their parents as well.

Boy oh boy, now I can understand why certain kids are sexually active at 10 years of age.Where were the days that you were still a kid playing not making out.

Mini cow turned four

Yes, my eldest turned 4.WOW,time flies and this year we decided to take her and a couple of friends to the circus. I even baked her a clown cake.

She had so much fun and they enjoyed it.Here is some pics.
