I think the highlight of the week was going to visit the Australia Post Mail Centre. Aarahi took the day off work to spend with us too which was lovely. The kids really enjoyed learning all about mail and what the postman/lady does. I have so much more respect for our dear posties now! Who knew it was such and involved job?! The best part of the tour was when the kids got to sit on the motorbike and beep the horn.
Once the tour was finished we ran a few errands then picked up some lunch. We were going to go to a park or something but we just ended up sitting in the car. It was the perfect sunny sleeping temperature. Aarahi and I both fell asleep. I mentioned to Aarahi how when I was younger Teri used to take us out to get something for lunch (burger fuel of rich days, bakery on poor days) and then we would go sit in the car somewhere to eat. I always wondered why we spent like an hour just sitting there...I totally get it now. Probably my favourite part of the weekend. Oh and that when I bought my kebab they had put hot chips in it??? weird but surprisingly good.
Following the best nap of my life we drove down the road a bit further to gymnastics then home for pizza and movie night like every Friday. Aarahi made me delicious chicken cranberry and brie pizza.
On Thursday after homeschool group I dropped Lili and Auron off with Sarah's partner Tarms and Sarah, Sotarah and I went to have milkshakes and fondue at Max Brenner. Then we did our groceries together, because we are cool like that. Later that night I took Ethan out to have icecream, talk and watch the planes come in. I think we must have come at the wrong time because we barely saw any planes.
Auron and Lili got their first pet yesterday! A pair of Australian Hopping Mice. We have had a "pet" mouse in our house for a couple of weeks that Auron has grown rather attached to. We thought it was probably a better idea to get a proper disease free kind for him to keep. So he used his birthday money from Nana to purchase his mouse and set up his cage. the best thing about these mice are that they are "stinkiness free" Auron has called his Chewy (Chewbacca). Lili is still deciding.
Our mortgage went in for reassessment this week. I continue to be amazed at the knowledge Heavenly Father is watching over us. Our broker was able to secure a much better deal for us and which will allow us to pay of the mortgage in its entirety in a MUCH smaller period of time. We are just waiting for 100% approval which should come through later this week and settlement is on track for the last week of June. We went out on Friday and they are almost finished and some of the temporary fencing is coming down so hopefully we can share some good progress photos soon.
