Well, today was an up and down kind of day!

It started with heading to work. It was nice to see everyone in casual dress - glad the message got through. And it was good that I managed to delegate most of the tasks to lighten my load. Not sure they got done properly, but hopefully the kids will learn. And of course, there were the inevitable dubious clothing choices. *sigh*

Then it was off to the post office to renew my WWC card. Ugggh!!! What a pain!! Surely this can all be done on line. Seriously - if I can do my entire tax returns for the last three years online, I think this renewal should be achievable. Do they really need a new photo?? The problem is that the line for the WWC is also the line for passport applications. If you happen to be behind two people doing passports you are stuck there for an age. I was at the front of the line for 30 minutes. Just a tip Australia Post Bunbury - how about you have one line for passport stuff and another line for all the other licence type things that take 1/10 the amount of time. Wonder who I can charge my time to? Do you think I can claim it on my tax return as a 'cost' of my job??

Anyway, after that annoyance I went out to lunch with the lovely work ladies. Thank you all for making me feel special today :)))) I feel bad because I wasn't prepared - I owe you one birthday gift Carrie! But I got flowers, a gift, a 'birthday cake' and a free lunch. You girls are the bomb!

But this evening I feel a little sad. Sometimes it is a bit heartbreaking being a Mum and today was one of those days. Just a case of little Pickle not being invited to a birthday party - which normally wouldn't bother me very much. I get the fact that you can't invite everyone and it isn't someone she is particularly friendly with at the moment. It is just that it seems that pretty well everyone else WAS invited. All her friends assumed she would be going so they kept talking to her about it and she had to keep telling people she wasn't invited. And now my FB feed is filled with party stories. :(  Weirdly I feel like we have both been snubbed. Stupid really but sometimes surprising things get to you. And this is why I never want my kids to have parties - somehow you always manage to hurt someone's feelings.

But on a positive note - Fremantle just got beaten :D

Another week done! After last weekend of four days this weekend seems very short :(

During the week we were treated to some absolutely beautiful sunsets. Pickle and I watched the sunset from BSHS after ballet on Friday night - just lovely! And this one was some time earlier in the week. The photo doesn't do it justice - but still it is nice to get a shot of the streetscape.

 

 

Today Erin came for a visit. It is always lovely to catch up and the kids were very excited to see her. We all went to the Port Park for a play. Football, chasey and football chasey - phew! Wore us all out!

 

 

 

TJ has had us all in stitches all day with some classic one liners.

"I am in peak physical condition"

"Nobody stands in the way of my love of Pokemon"

"This computer game is old school"

"Zombie apocolypse!"

Too much tv and youtube for this young lad!! xoxox







How lovely was this weekend? The weather was perfect and I think that 4 day weekends should be mandated from now on. Didn't get much achieved, but had a lovely relaxing time.

The kids certainly did well for themselves in the chocolate stakes. They were super excited about the visit of the Easter bunny. On Saturday night we put out some little bunny paw prints that have 'Happy Easter Sophie and Tyler' printed on them. Very cute!

 

The kids left out a home grown carrot and a little note too.

The whole stash! Lots of yummy choccies - thanks to the Easter bunny, Erin and Grandma. Let's see how long they last!

 

 

The kids also helped Dad wash the cars. Help might be stretching things a bit!! But it looked like lots of fun. Photos to come!

 

 

Today, Tyler and I went to the Vat and Jetty Baths for a catch up with Luke and Tracy. The boys had a great time and we got to sit in peace and drink coffee. We were having such a lovely time we decided to stay for lunch. Definitely the way to go!!

 

Now it is all back to reality and work and school. Didn't manage to finish marking the assignments I brought home. Ooops!! Oh well, there is always tomorrow. :)
