Week of Wicked Weather

It's been a pretty horrible week weather wise. On Monday the kids and I found a gap in the rain and braved the supermarket. I told Nathan we'd go to Chipmunks afterwards for a play but when we got there we found out they're closed on Mondays, so as a backup plan we cruised 100m up the road to Mc Donalds where I used my freebe coffee voucher and Nathan had a long play.

Tuesday Ayla came over while Lisa had to organise a passport for Kael. It hailed four times in as many hours. Ayla thought it was pretty exciting as we would quickly open the door and grab some hail stones and then let them melt in her hand. Wednesday there was a break in the weather as Maia and I ventured out to have a look at a house before picking Nathan up from Preschool, but on our way home it went black and rainy again.

Thursday and Today have been home days as Maia is not her happy self, she has a cough and is teething in a major way. It's so unusual to have her so grizzly and following me around the house wanting to be picked up all the time, poor lil princess. There is thunder and heavy rain as I type. All in all we haven't gone too crazy with the weather and have managed to keep ourselves busy around the house.

Yelling at the Cat

Maia is so funny with our cat Moses. She is usually quite placid, very cruisy by nature, but man she can also be quite loud. When our cat comes into sight she revs up and yells at him, she doesn't seem scared of him as she smiles at him but at the same time doesn't really try to pat him or anything, so maybe she is a little wary. Anyway it's quite funny.

Thursday/Friday

On Thursday we ventured to Mitre 10 to look at a few things. We couldn't go past the playground without having a little play...

They were pretty knackered when we got home so I put Maia down for a nap and gave Nathan a rest on the couch watching a Loonytoons DVD, he didn't last long before he was out

On Friday we bumped into my friend Michelle and her two boys Samual and Nathan at the Toy Library. As I was helping her manouvre the big slide she had booked out into her boot we decided we'd get together to give the boys a play. They came around later that afternoon and here they are enjoying my Nathans race track.
