We’ll I’ve been super-slack & haven’t updated this in ages.
The kids are just growing too fast, Ashton turned 1 in July, we just had family around for a birthday dinner & he enjoyed his cake - Devils Food Cake in the form of a duck!
He’s been walking since he was about 10mths, 2wks & now is a climber who also loves light switches & power sockets – arggghhh!!! – so I now have to invest in more of those socket thingies because our old ones from Paijes days have perished away. He also now has 6 teeth, a 7th has just cut through & looks like no.8 won’t bee too far behind, but I am soooo over teething! I think its time to invest in a teething necklace & see if it works 
(Corn freak No.2 – both kids will eat corn or peas till it comes out their ears!)
Paije is a funny little thing – more like a teenager than an almost 4yr old though 
She has become very affectionate lately & always kissing us & telling us she loves us, also still gets along very well with her brother, apart from when she pushes him away from her or locks him out of her bedroom. She will be 4 at the end of September – I’ve already had to send off her enrolement forms for school 
! we want to try to get her into Opaheke School & being out of zone I had to apply now for them to put her enrolement to Ballot for an early Sept Ballot, I just pray she gets in, so fingers crossed!
Anyway, her current “things” are High School Musical & Ben10 – so I’ve been slowly getting an education on how many/what aliens Ben10 turns into & also hearing her wandering around the house singing to HSM – and to the PussyCat Dolls – here’s the 4yrs old who walks around singing “when I grow up I wanna have Boobies” & shaking her booty & stripping off in time to the music, can you guess that Daddy turns on MTV & leaves it to go when Mummy is not home from work? You can probably also tell Daddy sings with her because its really ” I wanna have groupies”
Ashton is also getting very good at shaking his booty too 
he has much better Rhythm than Paije, just the tiniest amount of music needs to come on & he starts shaking it & the shoulders & head bob away, its so cute!
