We had a Fantastic Week

We squished so much into this week! The children have all been in bed early almost each night because they are just so tired. On one day both Lili and Auron didn't wake up until after 9am.

Monday: We had school time in the morning then later that afternoon we met up with our home school group at a nature park? I'm not really sure what it was. Well actually it was a huge community garden and nursery but they had other stuff going on too. The kids loved it and got covered in dirt and looked rather negated by the time we left. That's what being a kid is all about right??! Straight after the park we headed into the city to visit my cousin who is was in hospital. Unfortunately we couldn't stay long as Ammon we getting grumpy. By the time we arrived home it was past dinner, luckily I had put something in the slow cooker that morning so it was a quick fix to feed our starving bellies.

Tuesday: School work, housework, catch up on everything. I was having a pretty low day after writing my 3rd "memory" letter this year for someone sick with cancer. That disease gets everyone, and affects everyone, there just seems to be no escaping it. We went out for dinner that night to try and cheer ourselves up. It was a really lovely time. The kids really enjoyed the restaurant and food which is always a plus.

Wednesday: Off to the library for story time with our cousins. This weeks theme was crocodiles, which was right up Lili's ally. She is all about dinosaurs etc right now. It was such a beautiful day we took our lunch down to the park for a few hours.

Thursday: While we were at the library the day before we signed up for the 1000 books before school event. The kids are excited to stamp their chart for each book they read. I think we will get to 1000 pretty fast, They are already up to 30, Lili is a few ahead of Auron because she will sit forever and ever being read to. Auron prefers chapter books so he will take a little longer I think. Since we can read 10+ books a day I think we will have it out of the way before Christmas.
Auron and Lili both went to Lego class at the library and loved it.

Friday: This was the day the kids had been excited about all week! We were off to the science museum. We met our cousins at the train and were on our way. We thought that going during the week would be a good idea but we were SO wrong. The whole place was swarming with school kids. Big kids who were pushy and rude and didn't care about the little kids waiting patiently in line before them. In the end we skipped the first floor and went upstairs to the little kids area which was much more quiet (the school kids weren't allowed in there) Unfortunately we didn't really get to see the cool Alice in Wonderland exhibit or the Space one that my kids were excited about. The kids had a blast anyway and are already asking to go back.

Saturday: Clean clean clean that's what I did all Saturday morning. I always like to have the house back in order from the week before lunch on Saturday. After lunch the kids and I went to get some sand to refill their sandpit. I can't believe its that time of year again! Summer is coming and we CAN"T wait!!!!!! before long we will be able to put the pool back up.

Sunday: Ammon threw up this morning twice. He seems fine now but has already had 2 naps. Looks like whatever it was may have passed.

Hope you all had a lovely week too!
