Weekend Delights

 Just back from a wonderful away with Kevin in Sydney (and NO KIDS!!!!). We had the most wonderful time. Yesterday we did some shopping at Miranda, then headed to our hotel in Sydney. We went to the 4.30pm show of the Rocky Horror Show – it was really good. This is the 3rd time we’ve seen it on stage and it’s always a  great show. We got some Turkish takeaway and ate in our room while watching a rather stupid movie.

Today we lazed away the morning, then went on a Chocolate Tour of Sydney. We really enjoyed this. We got to sample chocolates, gelato and lastly a hot chocolate; and learn a bit about the history of Sydney. Would definitely recommend this to any fellow chocolate lovers.

I can’t believe how tired I am this afternoon. But it has been a busy few days and I’ve not been sleeping well. Yesterday I cleaned all the bedrooms, went to the gym, took the birds to the vets, went to the craft shop (stocked up some scrapbook supplies and wool), had a bite for lunch, picked up the girls from school, came home and helped Amy to make dinner (she had a delicious sour cream quiche), raced off to the hairdressers, raced home, had dinner with Nan & Pop, cleaned up and crashed on the couch to watch Supernanny.

Today I walked the girls to school, cleaned the kitchen – including the fridge and all appliances, then off to do some errands and get the groceries, home for a bite of lunch, unpack groceries, wash floor, up to school to pick up girls (drove as my feet are killing me), home, help girls make up lolly bags for her sleepover party on Saturday night, finish tidying kitchen bench.

I’m exhausted yet still have to make dinner. Changed to an easier type of cannelloni (my friend Leanne made it for us a few weeks back and it was delicious) . Also have to do some ironing so the girls have a uniform to wear to school tomorrow. Oh, and the girls want to make cookies but I’m letting Amy be in charge of that.

A couple of photos

Not much happening in my neck of the woods so I thought I’d just share some photos taken over the last few days.

Photo of Belle and myself. She doesn’t venture too far from her bed these days (unless it’s dinner time) so I took the opportunity to get a photo of us together.

Christy and her hippo – who had just had a bath.

So cute – the girls sitting doing their homework together. Not sure if my girls are strange or not but they LOVE having homework. Amy’s biggest complaint last year, in 3rd class, was not having enough of it.

MMM….. m&m’s. I didn’t see these until after Valentines’ Day but I’m a real sucker for packaging and just couldn’t resist these.

No e-mail :-(

Well, if it wasn’t for all the wonderful blogs I have to read I’d be suffering from severe withdrawals. I have had no e-mail since Monday. There was some flooding the other day that has affected it somehow. Kevin keeps telling me it should beback any day. I hope it’s soon. Anyway, if you’ve sent me an e-mail in the last few days I will respond ASAP. If it’s urgent you might be best to leave a comment on my blog.
