Sisterly love

Stylish chic off to school!

You know one of those days!

Yip ... Today was one of those Tuesdays  ... 

Bad nights sleep (I can't get this sleeping thing sorted) ... anyways, got kids out of the house - yippee! Tick! 

Waited for the bus ... it's 5 minutes late, ok ... Get ZaZ to school on time - 1 minute on time. 

Dash back on the bus, dash to get a new bus card. 

Dash back to bus stop - wait, wait, wait - for over 45 mins - bus was 'apparently' 35 minutes late) ... Got on! SO Full!!! Azi and I and the pram had to stand at the front of the bus by the windscreen! 

Finally managed to park pram - Azi sat on it! 

Finally got to music class ... Azi was fast asleep (That was a good thing) ... So I sat on bus and did FB, emails etc ... 

Then off bus, wait for another bus ... Bus arrives, has a trainer driver and her teacher, and a 'voice announcing' thing announcing all the stops that was broken and made a huge noise! Trainer driver drove super slow and went the wrong way, which resulted in one passenger crying on the bus, as she was late for work. 

Eventually got off bus after 2 hours! ... Went in search of organic eggs! Stopped at this new little cafe that we have become 'friends' with the owner, she cooks the most amazing 'home cooked' meals - Az and I shared a delicious real choc brownie :) 

Went to park - had so much fun, playing a game where Az was a different food and I would catch her and eat her ... (She had to climb up this big tunnel) - such a happy camper! 

Then went to fetch ZaZ from school ... We waiting for ZaZ in parking area,  doing our regular races (when I would rather be chatting to the Moms) ... Azi decides to run in this one area, I say. "Azi it's very rocky there, not a good idea' ... she insists ... runs, trips, falls flat on her face! 

Bleeding everywhere ... Funny enough, in these situations I am REALLY chilled! (Not chilled when it involves the brain) ... lots of hugs, 2 Moms helped me clean it up, of course my phone had died, so the one mom phoned the paediatric dentist for me ... Got ZaZ from school. 

Told ZaZ what had happened ... she told me all about the talent show thats going to happen at school! You got to love sisters! Thankfully she was all happy!!! 

Azi just SAT in the pram with this swollen lip, not wanting anyone to touch her ... on the bus home, walk into the house, sat in pram, I got battery for phone (So I could have directions and tell phil what had happened), walk to bus stop, on bus, get to area, find dentist .. Azi didn't say a word. 

Dentist was SO nice ... checked everything for 3 minutes  ... told me to give her soft foods... told me to come next week ... 

Went to ANOTHER supermarket to see about organic eggs ... Yippee - they had ... bought 7 dozen! Got Azi a bread roll that she gobbled! ... Dropped 2 boxes of eggs off the pram - broke everywhere ... Packed all eggs in backpack ... 

Back on bus, home, dinner ... Azi found her voice again (TG) - dancing, singing, happy!! Phil comes home - I didn't buy organic eggs! Thank goodness Phil does the shopping. 

I'm so ready for bed!!! 

Oh yes - Dentist was Euro40!!!! Tayla and Josh - you have chosen a great profession!





What a day!

Buses for 2 hours, sleeping for 2 hours on bus, getting a yummy yummy brownie from mommys cafe 'friend' - a real homemade treat with real chocolate! Great great park play! And then the tooth incidence!!!! An email to follow! Thankfully everyone is in bed, sleeping and healthy!

Put your phone away - and don't take a picture of me!!!

Those lips!

The bus has replaced granny's car as the sleeping place!

Our best part of the day!

When we FaceTime Cas!!!

Regulars on the bus!

Chatting to everyone!

Today Azi was on the bus - and as we passed something she shouted, 'that's our park/that's our building/that's where we walk - WOW! That's amazing!!!' ... Funny child!

Breakfast at the Hilton!

Involved a lot of sugar!

Just hanging and playing at home!

Happy tu B'shevat

What a great Sunday afternoon baking up a storm (olive bread spiral things, apple crumble, fruit salad) with all the kids at Mushkas house!

Ps: please note Azi eating out all the 'little pickles' out of the bread!

Sleeping beauty

After a busy morning of buses and music class and races - Azi fell asleep on the bus!

I'm feeling happy!

After numerous trips to numerous different health shops (as they all stock different things) ... I finally got all my seeds and flours and other things (although coconut sugar is so expensive here - and there is no 'if you care' baking paper)

I got my glass containers and the cupboard is starting to feel like home! Hopefully (Cas) I can keep it neat!

And I made a from jhd-ct-Sydney-Malta Gia salad!

And banana bread! And gluten free crunches (oh yes, and mejoodle dates are way too expensive - so o have settled for the dried ones- they work)

Just a regular Tuesday!

Bus to school!

Spontaneous meeting up with super funky and super nice Japanese mom that I met through a face book friend (she has lived in Japan, America, Italy, France and last year spent the year sailing through the med)

After a play and coffee, juice for me - we went to the Asian 'supermarket' (tiny, tiny shop) ... But filled with goodies!

Then Azi and I stocked up on warm beanie, socks and peppa pig rain boots at the mother care 50 percent sale!

Home for lunch!

Fetch Zaz from after school dance, drama!

Leave school - it starts pouring! Tuck in under bus stop! (Pic)

Get home! No rain! Dad home! Making yummy homemade meatballs - which Zaz turned into bunless burgers!
