A Busy Weekend!

We have had a huge weekend!

We went on trip to the coast to visit Pop and Heather on Saturday. Uncle Damien and Hazel were up from Tasmania too so we got to spend some time with them as well. Liam and Ewan loved seeing them all again! They tend to get VERY excited when Uncle Damien is around so there was lots of screaming, laughter, and running around! Heather has just had surgery to replace discs in her back so she was still very fragile. Liam was fascinated by the details of her op but also very sweet - he kept stopping to go over and give her cuddles - so lovely! They were staying in a hotel across from the beach while Heather recovered before her 1 week checkup. We went over for a walk to the beach and it was great! The boys had a ball building castle in the sand and I always love to walk along the beach - so relaxing! We'll have to do it more often! To top it off the boys both fell asleep in the car on the way home - at around 4:30pm and didn't wake till 6:30am the next morning!!! Ben and I were shocked! Was lovely having a peaceful night after such a big day though.

Today is Father's Day! Liam has been hanging out for today - we got Ben a clone trooper and a Yoda toy (from Star Wars) so Liam has been itching to play with them! Ben also had a special breakfast complete with eggs, bacon, sausages and baked beans this morning - was great for a change! The boys had a great time with the new Star Wars toys but sadly Yoda has dissappeared! We have no idea where he is and have searched the whole house for him. Ewan was the last to have him so God only knows where he is! Probably with the piglet and white tiger toys he got for his birthday!!

We also went to a 4th birthday party for one of Liam's friends today. It was at a miniture train track so we all had plenty of rides on the little steam trains - it was great. After the party we made our way home for a rest before Uncle Damien arrived. The boys were in heaven with Uncle Damien and Hazel here - they had the best time and everyone was worn out by the end of it!! Damien and Hazel shouted dinner for Ben and I while they babysat. We arrived home just after the boys had fallen asleep and Damien was flaked on the couch saying to us that he didn't know how we did it!

A very busy weekend but a great one too - so good to catch up with family and to have time together. I always love it when the boys are with their Uncles/Aunts - they always enjoy it so much - we are very lucky to have such a great family!
