Bread and stuff

I'm a student! As in a student in college. Robdawg and I finally decided to follow through and get our lives in order. We're getting an education! YES YES YES!

I'm a little excited. Can you tell?

Saturday was freezing and I spent most of the day attending orientation. Then I finalized my classes. Dear husband had to do the same thing which meant that the good Schamel seniors+uncles were on babysitting duty. This was of course a challenge since dear baby boy is not too comfortable with the idea of not being around his parents. But I'm happy to announce that all survived. Including moi who's not too keen on being away from the baby.

Live-in babysitters...just one of the perks of the extended family home hub. And we're finally making proper use of it as last night we painted the town red for date night. Ok, we had pizza and headed to Walmart for some grocery shopping. The point here is that we got to spend some time together. And Walmart seems to be our hot spot as I recall being there late on New Year's eve. We're pretty wild like that.

OK so a little wife brag moment: dear husband is starting his new job position on Monday. He got a promotion a few weeks ago:)He's a hard working chap that Robdawg.

Did I mention that it's freezing? It's been snowing and now baby boy and I are stuck indoors. Only thing worse than snow is trying to explain to baby why he can't go outside. Well I suppose he can if I bundle him up but mama don't play that game. Anything lower than 40°F equals death - dramatic, yes, but I'm from Cape Town and we stay indoors when it's cold. End of story.

And now I'm gonna wake this baby up because he's been napping for far too long.

Oh and grandma Schamel now works from home so as the saying goes "many hands make light work". My chores have been halved and to fill the time I've taken to baking more bread. I guess it tastes alright as dear husband has requested isonka samanzi (steamed bread) for his lunch. And as a good wife I gladly obliged. Also because nothing says winter like warm yummy steamed bread.

Ah baby boy just woke up.
