so today there was the day of the huge market here at the the property. Urban Market takes place every first saturday of the month. Everyone comes and sets up tents and sell things like cheese, meat, honey, jams, jewlery, art, and so on! so much stuff. and there is bouncing castles for the kids. tons of carts with food. petting zoo animals... sort of. lol anyways its super fun. i was working so i took the kids down for trips to the fun areas that they would enjoy. and then

after i got off work a bunch of us girls went to the Boulders mall. its this mall thats been build on giant boulder rocks. its soooo cool. unfortunately when i went to take pictures security was on my like you wouldn't believe. YOUR NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE PICTURES!!!! i got told . but then i really wanted a picture of me with the rocks so we snuck another shot and then another security guard was on us! and he was a little unpleasant. i was getting told off by him and the other girls i was with said 'ok lets go' and he chased after us telling her she was rude because he wasn't done talking to me because i hadn't apologized yet. he was somewhat delusional because i was no where near apologizing. I did ask to please point out the signs that were to tell me that i wasn't allowed to take pictures.... there was no signage saying that i wasn't allowed to take pictures anywhere that we could find. and he didn't have any to show me either. anyways we sort of kept a look out the rest of the time in the mall and finally on the way out at the entrance we found one sign smaller than my hand that said no cameras! and while we were looking at the sign, another security guard came over and was telling another of the girls not to take pictures because she had her cell phone out. she was smsing her mom but he didn't believe her. so... we kinda just booked it for the car. CRAZY!!! not to mention i was perhaps one of MAYBE 10 white people in the whole mall. it was a very different experience. :)
Last night was salsa lessions with Tumi and the girls and it was great fun. i'm a terrible dancer and i've got zero rythm but it was fun just to hang out and laugh!

tonight a bunch of us are off to a braai. so that will be awesome fun........

here are some shots of the yard. last night the bugs swarmed the light. they then landed on the ground and lost their wings and burrowed in the grass. this mornign the walkway was covered in abandoned wings. it was very strange!
Praise report:
~ thanks to all who prayed, my back is compleately healed. i went to bed last night and i had to take four extra strength excedren for the pain in my back. i woke up this morning fine. seriously fine!!! i mean, i was on the trampoline today and about 7 kids were on me at one point while Amy bounced us. ride Gwyn was the highlight of the day and my back didn't hurt at all. so praise God!!! awesome!!!!!!!!
