Entertainment and Decisions

Wednesday 22nd August 2012

Today was an eventful day with a trip to the hospital to be there for our Nan's chemo treatment (PAST HALF WAY!) and a trip to the shops to find the perfect outfit. What for.. you ask?  We made it through the next round of an extremely important job opportunity for our nursing careers.

The day was (as usual) sunny and dry... It hasn't rained here in over 60 days! We all piled into our family mini and made our way down to what would be the 5th last chemo treatment for our Nan's cancer. To be there is an event in itself, as our Nan is one heck of a character and our Grandfather is determined to keep himself distracted so he doesn't have to watch our Nan making each visit extremely entertaining. . After 3 hours.. all was over and we headed back home. 

Shopping is a girls best friend, but when there is twins and another two girls, it makes it an experience :D Jitterbugs has gone through life with the constant comparisons... which we cant blame those who do for we are very alike. This in mind, the shopping trip lasted much longer than it needed to as when one would buy an outfit/item the other must follow our very strict rule...

JITTERBUGS RULE: 


MUST NEVER EVER EVER IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE (EXCEPT IN UNIFORM) MUST WE EVER WEAR THE SAME CLOTHES!


 
Prime example: Shiny shoes and non shiny shoes to be worn on the same day...... accepted

We Popped our Blogger Cherry!

Saturday 18th August 2012

The morning started like most others... a stroll to the markets (where we devour our favorite Frankfurt in a bun!), walking our partly blind and deaf dog Bron, and relaxing with the family. The family consisting of a wonderful mother, a hilarious father, an amazing older sister and us... "The Twins". 

Today was extra special. Not only was the weather great (except for the gale force winds), my Grandparents came up from out-of-state to watch our little 'Bud' play in his under 6 soccer game. 

 




My grandma is currently going though chemo treating cancer and due to the cold Ekka winds was too risky for her to watch the game. Instead we managed to mix the old generation with new technology and my grandma Skyped for the first time in her life, with a long lost friend. It almost brought us to tears to see her face light up when her friends face appeared on the screen. 


It was a great day full of happiness and laughs.
