May Happened.
Written by Nez, Posted in My Thoughts, Comments: leave another one
The month of May was busy for my family. It all started with Muli’s friend birthday party. Its like every parent wanted to celebrate their wee ones birthdays with birthday parties this month. Every weekend Muli had an invitation to honour. On the 19th we celebrated Muli’s birthday with an awesome birthday party. I hope to have a post later on, about her birthday party.
While Muli was living her life attending birthday parties, we did not let Zee feel like she is missing out. We had loads of little weekend adventures.
We went to Cape Town Two Oceans Aquarium. It was fun because Zee was very aware of the sea animals. We go there often, but I guess in the past, Zee was too little to be entertained. This time she was running all over and showing loads of interest in creatures in the tanks and on display. She also had her a first – Puppet show. She seemed like she was perplexed by all that was happening. Like she wondered how can small animals talk. Ha!. There were two little kids next to her who could not take it, they cried and their parents took them away. Its hard growing up, LOL.
The other weekend while Muli was out, we went to the park and made some muffins.
We also had an amazing ladies conference. Once in a while it feels good to leave the kids behind for couple of hours and just be. Just be myself and not be a mom or a wife. It was refreshing to have my inner self nourished. The fun we had, I did not even take one pic.
The other week Muli had a book week. They had a day were they went to school at 6pm in their PJ’s and their teddy bears. They listen to story reading, had a warm cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows and had play time afterwards before heading home.
We ended the month with very sad news. The passing of my aunt’s daughter, My Mom’s younger sister’s child. She was very very close to my mom. She used to visit for school holiday’s in my mom’s place. It was the saddest week. It was like I am living a horrible dream that I was not able to snap myself out. I took some time off to go mourn with my family back in Mahikeng. and attended a funeral. It is still unbelievable and very painful. I still get those waves of feeling a pain of loss. But hey, life goes on. She is gone but we will never forget her.
Take care,
