I am writing this post early because Jeffrey and I are heading off to Kiama tomorrow, until Saturday. Two nights away from the kids for my birthday! As much as I will miss them, I can't wait for the break. Carmie was sad, until she realised that her Lolo would give her all the chocolate she asks for. The only real downer is that the weather is terrible, but that is just par for the course as far as our little vacations go. It always rains. And now it is windy as well, and bitterly cold. But still, two nights away!
It was the kids' Dida's birthday this past week too, so we went up to the farm for a morning tea party. Carmie was very excited, because there is no food that she loves more in the world than cake. The kids got to spend some time with their cousins, before heading home to a playdate. Carmie's long-time (relatively speaking!) friend Cassie came over, and the girls had a lovely time playing together in Carmie's new bedroom, and on the clothesline swing, and they even had a painting session. Carmie will be starting gymnastics with Cassie in a couple of weeks, and Cassie is going to be starting at Carmie's school soon, so they couldn't be happier.
Arley has had a good week. He still only plays with trains (when he is not being pushed around on the swings). He is talking so well, I can't believe how quickly his language has come on. He hasn't had any really naughty episodes, he just likes to throw his head back and wail for a few seconds to show his anger, but then he gets over it. I can see how life can get a little easier when his terrible twos are fully out of his system (knock on wood!).
We took the kids to the park at Dolphin Point this weekend, but it was overrun with about a 1000 rowdy kids because it's school holidays. So we walked around the lake and fed the ducks, and then continued around to the inlet. The next thing we knew, the kids were wading through the water, soaking wet but having a blast. Their clothes ended up coming off in the end, and they didn't want to leave. We can't wait for summer!
