Since I haven't blogged in a while it seems there will be some extra news in this one.
First off, we had entered Aidan into a spring tots competition at the beginning of September(voting lasted till the 15th October)anyway the prizes were: 1st- a micro scooter(a slightly overpriced scooter for children(R1500)-my opinion)
2nd- a glow bear(a bedtime bear whose fur glows in the dark-sonder batterye)
3rd- a box frame.
Well Aidan came 2nd(YAY) and got the glow bear, they even had his name embroidered onto the bears little shirt, it is just too cute( mind you that is the prize i wanted him to get)
Now during the voting time period i was feeling kinda like a bad mommy for wanting the Boogs to come second just cause we wanted to win the bear, but then I thought- "No I'm not a bad mommy I'll use this as a learning experience that "Winning isn't everything" , yip that coming first isn't the be all and end all and that sometimes someone else will come first"- Damn I'm pretty smart to turn my guilt of wishing him only 2nd into such a good lesson... (pity he's not old enough to understand it yet)

Next thing was we won a 3in1 nappy bag from 4aKid on facebook, you see they run these weekly giveaways where they ask you a question and then pick a few winners out of the emails that they receive, and well this time it was us!! yay how cool is that! here's what it looks like: http://www.4akid.co.za/products/454-nap-sac-3-in-1-baby-bag-backpack-in-camo-or-black
We also had Kyla-Lee's 1st birthday party and the two of them had such fun, Little Harrison(such a cutie with his chubby cheeks) and his mommy(Andrea) and daddy(Phillip) were there (the Aussie imports) that we have befriended through Mommalicious Mommas, a day of sweeties and feasting ensued for all the kids(especially Kyla and Boogie as that evening they went trick or treating in our complex, Kyla was a little pink fairy and Aidan was Spiderman... I think Aidan really loved it, every time someone opened their door he would just invite himself in(my golly I was only a little embarrassed seeing him making himself comfortable in other peoples homes) mind you everyone seemed to find it kind of funny so there was much laughter...
You would think that these two little sausages had had enough sweets for their entire lifetime(so did us mommies and daddies) however they found space for more the very next day when we all went to Ushaka for their Halloween show, Candice, Kyla and i went as the three fairy god mothers from Sleeping Beauty, Kyla was pink, Candice- white and i was blue, Boogie was Spiderman, Andrew was Frankenstein, and Ryan-well we called him gollum because he got this funny(and I mean FUNNY) mask that made him look exactly like gollum! it had us all in stitches! And when Aidan is old enough to understand we will explain the meaning Halloween has for us as Catholics/ Christians!
