And the Days of Our Life Continue

This week was full on and doesn't seem to be slowing down. Usually Aarahi and I give each other at least one afternoon a week to have a rest/sleep/time out in the bedroom with no little people, but this week has been so non-stop that it just wasn't possible. Oh boy did we miss it!

On Monday the kids and I spent 5 hours doing school work and activities. I admit it was a pretty fun day so I wasn't surprised they didn't want to stop. We made my cousin Bronte a birthday present for her 10th birthday. Scissors and glue and Auron was in heaven. Lili got so covered in mess I just had to leave Auron to finish it up by himself.

On Tuesday I had the kids help me clean out the pool while they were swimming. Later that day it started pouring with rain along with some thunder. Auron and I were standing on the doorstep watching and decided to jump in the freshly cleaned pool for a swim in the rain, we didn't even bother to put togs on. We jumped in clothes and all. It was the most fun I have had in a long time!

Wednesday saw us going into the city to sign the contract for our house and mortgage. We are happy to say that we will not be stuck with a 30 year loan but should have it paid off in 15-18 years fingers crossed! Also got a fantastic interest rate of 4.49%. We decided to have dinner in the City to avoid the crazy Melbourne rush hour. Dinner was below average and I wasn't at all impressed.

Thursday the kids and I went into town to do something which I can't remember. Probably wasn't important and I probably bought a whole lot of stuff I didn't need. When Aarahi got home we went over to Bronte's party/afternoon tea. The kids love going to see my Aunty and Uncle and their cousins. Bronte really like the present we made her. She is easy to please that kid!

On Friday...I was dying for some sleep! But really I made a bunch of cupcakes for Relief Society and tried to catch up on house work and paying bills and all that other stuff that sucks about being an adult. That night I was supposed to go to Enrichment night at church but really couldn't be bother but went anyway. I am glad I did. It was a nice 2 hour break, Aarahi was happy to look after the kids. I got home to, two sleeping kids and a happy baby all ready for bed. Aarahi was my hero and folded and put away my mountain of washing I had washed that day.

Saturday we had big plans which we threw out the window in favour of sleep and relaxing on the couch...after I enlisted everyone's help to clean the house.

This is what Ammon though of Family Home Evening

One of the missionary's gave our family this AMAZING Book of Mormon timeline puzzle. Auron has been putting it together everyday and is learning lots of the stories and peoples names.

Auron took this photo during our meeting at the builders

Lili begged Daddy to take them on the escalator, he is the best Daddy
