Day 39 - A new set of twins

A photo similar to this was set to appear on my blog last week, unfortunately I had a technical hitch and it was lost into the oblivion. So tonight knowing that Meg and Mel were going to be Bobbsey Twins again I saved my photo of the day for the gym.

Last week Meg and Mel wore the exact same outfit to the gym. I thought this was too funny! I was very disappointed that I missed last weeks photo, but was so very glad to hear them yesterday say that they were going to wear the same again today! Thank you ladies. It's enjoyable to workout with you as well as be able to put you on my blog looking so lovely. I wish I looked that good working out.

Day 32 - The cake popping begins

Tonight Myrrha, Morgana, Monique, Meagan, Melanie and myself caught up to begin making the cake pops for Monique's baby shower this coming Saturday. A very interesting process which began with making 3 beautiful cakes, crumbing them, mixing in frosting and then creating the balls which you see featured in today's blog. These balls will now sit in Morgana's fridge until our next get together on Friday which will see us icing and decorating them. I can't wait to see how they turn out.

Cake pops are one of these things that I often wonder, who thought of creating such things?

Day 1 - Sun, Surf and Sand

New Years Day 2012. What better way to spend it than with lovely family down at the beach. After a later than usual night for the girls, it was a struggle to get them up this morning, but as soon as we mentioned beach, they became so very excited.

We drove down the Clyde with Matt, Melanie, Josh, Oliver, Morgana, Tony and Isabel this morning and arrived to picture perfect weather in Batehaven. We had a dig in the sand building castles, fish and boats before having a swim in the ocean. We stopped for a quick bite to eat, a play in the playground before one last swim in the ocean.

I was very impressed with the girls happily frolicking in the water with Shane and Melanie. Even Olivia played with Melanie in the water - You are in Mel, well for today anyway!

Today was a little taste of beautiful coastal times together, more of which are to come later in January.
