I'd been planning to blog early in the week but it just didn't happen due to needy children (not just mine) and lots of screen printing to be done.
And it isn't like I didn't have some good material - Ollie going on the super big boy slide at the markets, a delightful bout of gastro and my favourite, Ollie's decision to call us Mum, Dad & Eve (he is only three, I want to be mummy for a bit longer!).
But I didn't get around to it and now we are away. We are lucky enough to be having a long weekend at Nanna Carmel & Grandpa Rob's beautiful new beach house at the coast, that nick has named "the Budge". It is such a lovely spot and we are extremely thankful to be able to use it as now we are down to one wage, this will be the only holidays we can afford!!
We came down last night after work, putting the kids to sleep in the car. Evie complied fairly quickly but Ollie appeared to be desperately trying to stay awake the whole way down. He eventually succumbed to sleep after about 40 mins. Pretty good effort but it was short lived. Having not had dinner, nick and I decided easy/evil McDonald's drive thru would be the answer. As the lady asked what we would like to order Ollie woke straight up and said "dad, you have to get me a toy!". And if course evie woke up too. Sigh.
Thankfully they both went back to sleep until around 4.30am when Ol (who was in bed with us) decided to start talking, slapping, kicking etc. good times.
But at least we don't miss out on the gorgeous day outside! We've been for a lovely walk (or swim for Ollie - totally unplanned) and a play on two different playgrounds. There is definitely a nap on the horizon for everyone, probably followed by a kayak. Definitely a tough life. Enjoy your Friday everyone.
