day 48

Today I am thankful for family. We had a big family relo bash today and it was really nice to catch up with my cousins and second cousins. All the kids had grown up so much and the boys loved catching up with all the kids.

day 48

Today I am thankful for walking to school. I have no idea why walking to school is so much less tiring than driving. When I drive I am up to school and back in about 10 min. When we walk it takes about an hour. It's not very far away, but the kids like to muck around and there are always people to stop and talk to along the way, not to mention the shops we pass! I really look forward to the days that I don't have to be in a hurry so that we can walk and enjoy ourselves along the way.

Day 48

Today I am thankful for the sky. The sky is so calming. Everytime I look at the sky I feel myself take a large breathe in and out, and feel so relaxed in a matter of seconds. The sky is so large that it is hard to feel any problem or situation is large in comparison.

day 47

Today I am thankful for a sitting down in front of the telly. It has been a long time since I have been able to sit down and relax for half an hour. But tonight I was able too and for that I am very thankful!

Day 47

Today I am thankful for the funny things kids say. In the last 24 hours I have cracked up so many times..... Here's a couple from today and yesterday....
1) a friend of Oscar tells him "I have a suprise, my mum is having a baby....& do you want up know something even BETTER? I get a bunk bed!!"
2) this one is from Oscar who has picked up a new favourite word from big school. "my balloon pissed everywhere"
3) and Orlando..... Who got 2 sayings a little confused...... "mummy, am I driving you up the nuts?"

Day 47

Today I am thankful for our local pool. It was hot and after a long walk home from school the kids were desperate to go for a swim. The water was refreshing and the kids had lots of friends there, which is one


of the things I love about attending a local school. Oscar was excited to count 9 of his friends who had also decided to head to the local pool for a swim. I love our pool, it really is the centre of our community.

day 46

Today I am thankful for today. We had such a lovely chilled day, it was much needed and much appreciated. We started off with a surf for Darryn while I had a sleep in. Then a lovely brekky of smoothies, bacon, eggs and hollandaise sauce & the best granola ever made!! Then we took the kids to the beach where I had the best swim since I was a teenager. The water was so nice and warm, the waves perfect for diving through. Then we had fish and chips in the park followed by a nap, then dinner with friends. The kids were happy all day and Darryn and I felt more relaxed than we have in a long time.
