Good day

To be honest this photo is from kinder pick up last week.  I missed kinder pick up today by a few minutes.  Fiona did me a last minute emergency favour and picked Jack up for me.  I love kinder pick up, so I was disappointed to miss out.  I love seeing how happy he is at kinder and love how happy he is to see me!  

It wasn't all bad today though.  In fact I had a good day!  It started with a brisk early morning walk with friend at 7am.  It's becoming a weekly ritual that I'm loving. Actually, I'm wanting to do more exercise, just need to find the time around the kids. Then I dropped Jack at kinder and met two of his friends, Damon and Presley.  Very cute!  Damon is his co-conspirator in terms of the 'blue beard' incident last week.  Presley was saving Jack a seat next to him this morning, then invited him over to his place because he has 'lots of toys'.   So from kinder I headed on down to Rosebud to visit a dear friend and her two boys.  Had a great time catching up and sharing stories, wish we could catch up more often.  

How's the weather?

We had lunch outside today before the rain set in for the afternoon. You wont read a complaint about the weather here as someone I know is experiencing a cyclone at the moment. Hope you're keeping safe. 

Tea time!

Hanging out for this cup of tea right now!  It's been a full day, memorable moments include fist-pumping a student and being called          'B-dizzle'.  

Ahh.. Pari!!

Sunday's Post... by popular demand

This is for the person who sent me two text messages that read, "Where's your blog post for Sunday?" and one that said "No excuse!!"

As I ended up doing two posts on Saturday that consisted of 3 photo's I thought I'd take Sunday off.  But if my devoted fans want more... then more they shall get! :)

So Sunday... Lachlan & I went to church in the morning.  I was being interviewed about my work with three of my co-workers.  I had thought a little bit about what I was going to say, but it never comes out the same way and I just have to hope and pray it sounded ok.  We got home a bit before midday to find that Leigh and Jack had gone to the swimming pool with Phil, Harry, Paisley & Nathan.  Lachlan needed a sleep and I took the opportunity to have a rest myself.  These moments are few and far between so I enjoyed the moment!  By the time Lachlan woke up Leigh and Jack were on their way home.

We had about an hour at home together before Leigh asked for a lift to the train station so he could meet up with Biff and get to the Heart game.  On the way home from the train station Jack fell asleep in the car so I put him to bed even though it was only 4:30 in the afternoon.  He'd had a big night with the dinosaurs on Saturday and then swimming always tires him out too.

So it was almost peaceful only dealing with one child for a few hours.  Leigh came home, happy with the Heart win.  We watered the garden, and got it ready for the council workers to return today.  Then came inside and watched The Block bathroom reveal.  We loved Josh & Jenna's winning bathroom, but felt very sad for Phil & Amity as chumps.  They didn't deserve it. But perhaps the fireplace was a bit OTT!  Where as the mix of old and new in Josh & Jenna's combined with that beautiful marble... gorgeous! I can't believe Mark & Duncan put a Rhinoceros in their bathroom... it was a very male bathroom. I don't think I could cope, but the addition of a urinal intrigued me.  No more seat up or splashes in unwanted areas...??? (That's my life with boys) And as for Dan & Dani's grey bathroom.  Maybe it looks better in real life?  

So that's it, that was my Sunday.  How was yours?

Dinosaur date

Ever since Peppa Pig and her brother George went to the museum to see the dinosaurs, Jack has been asking to go too!  So when I heard there was a special dinosaur exhibition tonight I thought I'd take him. There were photos with dinosaurs and a roaming life sized puppet dinosaur!  We watched a 3D movie that Jack said was "Great!"  He loved the displays and kept on saying "Wow!" at everything he saw.  I hope it's a special memory he keeps... his dinosaur date with mum!

Celebrations

The dress code was dress to impress.  The evening was sophisticated, with a touch of Downton Abbey.  

The celebrations worth of a happy engagement!

P.S.  I'm behind in my posts by one, so two photos makes up for it in my book!
