where the memories hide...
A very warm drive all the way home, we stopped in at KFC family meal deal (literally the only time we get bad take-away food). I hadn’t had KFC in a very long time and was surprised how sugary the buns were. It was eaten in and around the car while getting Seth changed in the front seat. At home […]
Another decent sleep in for the kids, I had to go in shortly after 9 am to get them up. They were both perky and Seth was dancing around in circles. Seth smashed some yoghurt and muesli, then bits of my toast. Rachael had cornflakes with honey, then a bowl of “milk cereos” (Aldi Nutri-grain). Our first stroll around town […]
The kids made a little noise around 8am but went back to sleep and were still asleep past 9am. Sarah got them up shortly after and they were full of beans and in a great mood. Clearly they needed the sleep and the behaviour of last night suddenly made a bit more sense. Everyone had a tonne of breakfast from […]
We awoke at 8am to silence. Rach was quietly playing her iTablet in the lounge room and Seth had gone back to sleep. On the only day where their 7am wake-up would have been beneficial – checkout day! The morning after breakfast was a big clean up and packing session, of course. Luckily the crazy storms and rain of last […]
All of Rach’s park friends were leaving today. It was a slow moving morning today and it was about 10:30am when the kids got out to the playground. I finished up dishes and then joined shortly after. Josh and Charlie were there, much to Rach’s delight and Seth introduced himself to the group by showing his belly. I think one […]
Breakfast was wrapped up pretty quickly this morning, so we could head down to the camp playground again. Seth happily waddled around the park, and both he and Rach had fun ejecting their shoes out of the playground tunnel port-holes. Afterwards, we drove into town and did a main street driveby in search of early lunch options – lots of […]
Seth woke up at 7am again (almost on the dot) and Rach was singing “This Band Is Back” to him. I think he’s heard it so much that he knows what to sing back now. It’s become the theme song of this trip. They then were cracking themselves laughing while doing raspberries – not as much of a sleep in […]
Seth did sleep well, only a few cries but nothing needing a get up. Both kids woke up at 7am but Rach came to the rescue singing “Jingle Bells” and a selection of songs from Julie & The Phantoms – serenading Seth back to sleep. After breakfast Rach and I did some more bubbles and frisbee outside (a few more […]
With Dad manning the breakfast kitchen, cleaning up and then going to have a shower, I’m sure it felt like an eternity before getting to the pool for Rachael. We also had to have some lunch too and do some comprehensive sunscreen before we got there. Well, we did spend part of the morning outside playing frisbee (2 attempts then […]
Rachael was desperately trying to help by putting random things in the car, so we could up and go on our holiday – she was very excited. The trip up actually went quite well. Seth had a decent nap in the first half, while Rach coloured and later watched some Netflix. We stopped at a bakery in Euroa for our […]
