Pooh

 

I realised that Isaac knows about Winnie the Pooh from pictures or toys but he's never read any books or seen any of the animations. So today we jumped on YouTube and I kept him occupied with some Winnie the Pooh while I folded the washing. The one we watched can be found here. He asked to watch it a second time so I think he enjoyed it. It certainly brought back some memories for me and I had a few little giggles as well.

Celebrity Apprentice

I headed to the shops again today but with the boys this time. Isaac needed new shoes and it was a hot day so we spent some time on the play equipment in the centre. While we were there we discovered they were filming for celebrity apprentice. We only stayed around for about 5 minutes so I'm not sure exactly what the challenge was. Isaac just liked watching the camera on the big crane going across the audience.

The only contestants we saw were Tania Zaetta, Lauryn eagle (I didn't know who she was until I looked her up), Charlotte Dawson and Patti Newton. I did see security tags for other 'celebs' like Dicko, David Hasselhoff and Marion from Masterchef. I must say, I didn't watch last season and am probably unlikely to watch this one either.

Retail therapy

 
My lovely husband spent the morning at home with the boys today while I headed out for some shopping.

We only live about 5 minutes away from Westfield Parramatta but I much prefer shopping at the new Top Ryde shopping centre. It's new, it's not as big or busy and the mix of outdoor and indoor is a winner for me. All up, I shopped for a little over three hours and got lots of lovely new things... for me!

Date night

 

Darren and I try to get out at least once a month for a date night. Tonight it was dinner and bowling. Unfortunately the teppanyaki restaurant we planned to go to was closed for a few weeks so we'll try that one next month. We had such a fun night and it's so nice to be able to spend some time together without the distraction of the kids.

A big thanks to my mum who makes it possible by minding the boys for us.

Sleep tight

 

I love checking on the boys before I go to bed each night. Watching them sleep always makes me smile no matter what the day has thrown at us.

Australia Day

We celebrated Australia Day today with the traditional aussie BBQ. On the menu? Lamb of course. Unfortunately the famous Australian sun didn't make an appearance in Sydney today but it was still humid enough for Isaac to get to spend some time in the pool. 

Chores

After a pretty busy few days we spent today lazing around the house. It gave me a chance to catch up on those mundane but necessary tasks like pay bills and do the washing that has piled up because of all the rain. So, not a very exciting day but a productive one.
