Mon, Wed, Fri
Spent with Kathryn and her girls. They were busy with activities at home, the park, gold panning and Questacon. Both our families had a family night dinner and DVD night on Friday, which was lovely. A nice way to cap off the week. Taking the kids for 3 of the 5 days was a blessing beyond words for me.
Tue (20th)
It was three months since Maria went to be with the Lord.
The kids saw a movie and played at a dear friend's place (thanks Doreen).

Thu
Both kids had separate play dates at their best friends' homes (thanks Karen & Leanne), with Ben having footy training at the end of the day (thanks Paul for chauffeuring him).
Sat
A whole day of hanging around the house. I spent a bit of that time out doing a major shop. Watched a movie together. Otherwise very quiet and lazy.
My brother and his family moved into their new home. Because of my sheer fatigue and laziness I haven't spoken to them as yet to see how the move went. Will follow that up on Monday morning.
Sun
Got up a little late and sluggish. After a pancake breakfast made our way to the shopping centre as we had missed church. Forgot that because it is Anzac Day, the centre didn't open until 1:00pm. Made the trek back and spent 3 1/2 hours there getting last minute things for the kids and buying myself some new business shirts and ties. Unfortunately none of the hairdressers were open so Ben still looks like a mop head and Gabi's not far behind. We'll try tomorrow. Spent the afternoon/evening getting on top of some loads of washing, followed by the bedtime reading ritual (with both separately) before having some prayer time with Justin.
Tomorrow is a public holiday here in Australia. What will we do? All a bit jaded. Probably just hang around the house, call my brother, as well as get out for a short stint to the hairdressers and have my suits dry-cleaned. Boring life, no?
