Dec '13 - bunkbeds, carols and fainting

The kids really enjoy these "put R5 in and I'll vibrate a bit" vehicles outside shops, despite the fact that I don't think they've ever been on one when it's actually moved (I'm way too cheap).

 

My big girls got to have a bunkbed, which Chloe immediately wanted to climb, despite being barely 2.
It meant they were going to share a room, which freed up the other one for a study/play room - until No 3 comes along. They were VERY excited.

And yet the first night, we found Chloe asleep on the floor.

She wasn't the only one. I got up in the middle of the night to see to her crying (she probably fell out of bed again) and I passed out in the passage. The reason for this fainting - the first time I have EVER fainted, was the new diet Cath and I were trying.

At any rate, there was blood everywhere - i hit my head on the skirting board - and I needed to be rushed to hospital for a few dozen stitches. Okay, just 7.

Funnily enough, Cath had done the same thing a few days before - and I had just laughed at her. I'm lucky she got up to rescue me or I might have not made it.

The diet wasn't a crash diet or anything, but it was quite harsh. 12 days in all. we lasted 10.

Carols by Glowstick light at Kirstenbosch.
I was supposed to be at work that eve but pulled a sickie - hence my disguise. Well, I was sick, I just should have been at home, I suppose.

Sarah keeps a watchful eye on the girls. Chloe only has chips on her mind.

Great spot, as usual.

Candles no more, now it's all glowsticks.
