Our Weekend

Our weekends have been pretty busy lately, and will only continue to be busy as we have a few road trips planned, plus the soccer season is starting up again next month. Unfortunately, Lucas still isn't acclimatising to these trips, making for an interesting time, trying to pass "stuff" back to him in the car.

Anyway, last weekend we went and visited with Chris's sister, brother-in-law and their 3 kidlets. I did forget to take my camera along, so sorry, no photos of our time.

We headed down on Friday night, after Chris finished work. When we arrived our nephew and nieces were all asleep, so Lucas got to spend some quiet cuddle time with his aunty, before his drink of milk before bedtime. We then sat up and talked, sharing all the news and generally catching up :) Before we knew it, it was almost midnight!!

Saturday we started the day off with a special breakfast (for us anyway) made by our brother-in-law, before heading out to check out our nephew's new school, classroom, desk, hat and everything else he could think to show us :) It seems like he has settled in pretty well and is thoroughly enjoying his new school, teachers and friends.

After the school, we headed into town to walk the main drag and head out for a nice, albeit noisy, coffee :) The weather was beautiful, and the walk around was great too. Then, after a stop at the local lolly shop to get some Canadian type chocolate, we drove back to house, with Lucas falling asleep on the way. Poor thing was so tired and he had missed out on his morning sleep and refuses to sleep in his pram. Oh well...he transferred well from the car to his cot, and slept for a few more hours.

The kidlets ate their lunch on their own and then headed off to bed for sleeps and rest time, while the adults enjoyed a simple, yet very yummy, toasted sandwich...and we even got to try a combination we've never eaten before...and i think we shall be making that ourselves :)

The afternoon was a lazy and relaxing one, spent playing with all the kidlets outside, watching the men play on the playstation Move and packing up to head back home. After a stop for take away dinner before leaving, we heading back up the highway, for a short-ish drive home.

Thanks for a great weekend TKBAS, we thoroughly enjoyed spending time with you all again and seeing your new home...we shall be doing it again when we can :)

and finally, a photo for those who read this blog just to see photos of Lucas - this one was taken last month and he is playing with some of his birthday presents.

And don't worry, i shall endeavour to remember my camera when we go out next time :)
