623 + 519 Weeks

We have had a good week.  My cough has slowly gotten better and I actually had a good night's sleep last night.  Such a relief.  I went to Taekwon Do today for the first time in weeks, and Mr Kelly sprung a surprise grading on me and I passed, and received my blue stripe on my green belt, which means I'm halfway to black belt.  Stoked!

Last Friday I took the kids up to Mum and Geoff's so they could have a sleepover, and Jeffrey and I could have a much-needed date night.  We went out to a restaurant called Elixiba, and it was awesome.  great food and ambiance.  Afterwards we came home and stayed up late watching a movie.  On Saturday morning we rolled out of bed and went off to a farmer's market, and that was lovely too!  We had breakfast there in the sunshine, and bought some fruit and veg, gluten free bread and some plants, and also ran into some friends.  Afterwards Lolo and Dida brought the kids home, and they stayed for a catch up.  Jeff and I had such a nice time together, and it felt like Saturday was Sunday, which meant when Sunday came around, it felt like a long weekend.  On Sunday morning Jeff and I went down to Mooloolaba and I rented an electric scooter and followed Jeff around on his electric unicycle.  It was so fun, and so good to be out at the beach in the winter sunshine.  Such a good weekend!

On Monday the kids had chiro, and then Carmie had taekwon do (I stayed in the car because at that point I was totally sleep deprived).  On Tuesday morning our private lesson was cancelled, so we went down to Alex Head and saw Nicky, Lexi and Felix.  It had been ages since we had seen them, even though they are only 10 minutes away.  We couldn't stay that long, because it was a bit of a sensory nightmare for the kids, but it was good to see them.  Afterwards we went up to horse riding and the kids had a great session.

Wednesday was Clint and Wolfpack, and then this morning I took the kids to the movies to see Across the Spiderverse.  It was so good.  It was a little too fast-paced for Arley to keep up with with his auditory delay, so he didn't get as much out of it as we did, but Carmie and I loved it.  It was also nice to do something fun and unexpected with the kids.

So, all in all it was a great week!

Here is a video I made of Carmie at equine therapy this week:
