Bit's and Bobs

So after 2 months or so of not having a washing machine we finally bought  a new one. I am glad I waited. I got the $1000 one for only $600. How is that for a good deal! I knew if I waited long enough I would get the deal I wanted. On the first few days I think I probably washed every towel blanket and item of clothing in the house. Then I realised I would now have to fold the mountain of clean washing it produced on my couch and the novelty wore off quickly. I do love the smell and feel of freshly washed towels though.

Auron has rediscovered Toy Story on Netflix. He was just about to watch the third one, the conversation went like this:

Me: Auron turn that off I don't want to watch that.
Auron: Why? (looking confused)
Me: I can't handle that much emotion these days, it makes me cry too much.
Auron: (shaking his head) Are you serious? You need to sort out your issues!
Me: Whatever, you still can't watch it.

It is true though, kids movies these days leave me tortured for months after. I have a big list of movies the kids can only watch with Daddy. I had to read the plot summery for Finding Dory before I decided if we could watch it. I probably need to take Auron's advice and sort out my issues.

Yesterday we went to the Cinderella Opera. It was a bit of a let down. I had high hopes. However afterwards we were walking back to the train and Lili was holding my phone. All of the sudden she yells out "Mummy look Pikachu!" She had spotted a picture of Pikachu on a newspaper. She almost got bowled over by a crowd of people thinking she had found one in the Pokemon Go game. It was pretty comical to see.

Last night Lili put her half eaten pizza on a plate and filled a cup of water and asked me to write a note for Daddy "To Daddy, This is for you if you are hungry or have a sore brain. Love Lili-Mei" It was so sweet. She is so lucky to have the best Daddy in the world.
