We had a lovely week. The big deal from this week is that Carmie learned to ride her bike without training wheels. She is so proud of herself, and she is desperate to go back to the farm to ride her bike (on the tennis court, which is the safest place). We spent about an hour one afternoon with me running next to her and holding on to her seat, and then about half an hour the next day doing the same, and then she was off. It was very exciting :)
The kids also went to Hannah's brother Alasdair's birthday lunch, and had a great time. We had fun in the backyard, and we took the kids to Narrawallee Inlet for a play at the park and a little hike to the point. They soon found the little beach, and would have spent all day there, except that I hadn't packed us any lunch, so we had to leave due to hunger. Next time I will pack morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner too. Arley was perfectly content to throw rocks and shells into the water, while Carmie waded in the inlet. And next time I'll bring a book too :)
Jeffrey and I also went to a concert, the Neil Diamond Experience. It was so much fun, fake Neil Diamond was amazing. And the kids and a sleepover at Lolo and Dida's house, so the next morning Jeff and I had a sleep-in and a very leisurely breakfast. It was a nice break.
Arley has been a little better behaved lately. We still get lots of, "No, I don't want to!!" and "Leave me alone!" and "No Daddy, I don't like you!" and foot stomping etc, but he is a little easier to calm this week, and we have had some funny dinners, mostly because every time we start a dinner conversation, Arley answers our questions with "Poo poo". After you hear that answer SO many times, it actually becomes a little funny.
Here is a video of Carmie riding her bike:
