This past week....

...has been busy - what's new?!!
So what have we been up to? Well school keeps us busy and the afternoons are often filled with errands and extra-murals and just "things" but in between all that we had some time for bike riding seeing as it's been pretty good weather all week.
Niave's new favourite thing is climbing trees and she's pretty good - sometimes I can't bare to watch because I'm sure she's going to fall but she negotiates her way up and down with ease - most of the time!

Somewhere in this tree is a little girl!!


Oh! There she is!!

Kitty-face!!


While Niave was busy tree-climbing, Abigail was trying to get an "action-shot" - a picture of herself with both feet off the ground! Here are some of her attempts - it was more the photographer that couldn't get the timing right!!


Biker-girl!


On Saturday morning Abigail went to her friend Kiera's birthday party. It was a "mystery adventure" party. Lots of searching for clues in all sorts of places and eventually discovering the hidden treasure (the treasure chest birthday cake) - you can read more about it and see the pictures on their blog: http://www.hayesfamily.co.za/.

While we were there Niave went to Kirstenbosch for an ice cream with Ouma and Oupa and found every drop of water in the place!!

Grant had gone to watch the rugby with his friend Alan and came back with new water colour paints for both girls so there was much painting in the evening. Abigail was putting some of her newly acquired art skills to work by doing shading instead of just straight lines.

Lastly, last Sunday Niave's Sunday school group (2-4's) sang on the stage in church. Niave stood very quietly watching all the people watching her and didn't utter a word or even crack a smile!!
