We came back around 3.30 and got ready to go out. Tonight we are gong to Chuck E Cheese with Jeff from PE Gear & his family. We left around 4.00 and went to Arden Fair to have a look around for presents that I need to get. The boys ended up at the discovery channel shop & I had a look around. Jamieson got some new runners, we found them on sale at footlocker $25.00 reduced from $70.00. They are Micheal Jordan retro (Old school as Rhys would say) size 3. The child is growing. Considerng he is still sleeping at least 10 hours everynight still I'm not surprised.
Definitely catching up to his big brother FAST!! 
Monday 8th May ......
Today was a typical Monday. The boys went off to school & came home again. Jamieson has organised to have is friend John over for a play tomorrow. So you can imagine how much we are hearing about that. All the time!!!! Today Conner was allowed to walk home from school by himself. So that is some independence he has been asking for. We spent some time by the pool, did homework & came in for dinner. The boys went to bed and that was our day.
Tuesday....
The morning was like any other. I went out to do the groceries & when I came back, Jamieson & John were just arriving home from school. They had a snack & played around inside. They were so cute, running around the apartment showing him the rooms. They had a play then we got changed & went down to the pool. They played at the pool until John's parents came to pick him up. They had a good time, & his parents Kristin & Alfie said that we will have to organise a time to come over for a bbq. So that is something to look forward too. We walked over to pick Conner up from school. Came home, did homework etc. Same, same. Just another day.
Wednesday.....
The boys went off to school, Bruce organised with Jamiesons teacher to go and do some basketball with them, so he's looking forward to that. I went out to look around, got a couple more things for the apartment. Really cool stuff like a clothes airer, vase for the dining table. Jamieson & Bruce had a special lunch together. We spent some time by the pool, so the kids could play with their friends. Chatted with Milly by the pool, talking about party food. We have Lexy's 7th birthday party on Saturday night, looking forward to that. Anyway, we were talking & realised that the party food is different. No party pies or sausage rolls. Instead they have pizza. So I think for the boys parties I'm going to do an Australian theme. ( With some help from home, sending some bits over for me.) They have no idea about Fairy bread, chocolate crackles, honey joys. The funny thing was Milly looked at me when I was talking about fairy bread and said "you put those on bread"? It was the first time she's ever looked at me like 'your wierd'. Very Funny though, so I have a theme, but no idea where etc. I have a little time to figure it out. Conner has a birthday party on Saturday morning, & we can go as well if we wish. So we thought we'd go & meet some of the other 3rd grade parents. That should be fun as well. Saturday is going to be a busy day. We are all looking forward to it.
Then later Bruce & Conner went out to get the boys their beds, nothing flash, just something to get us through our time here. (He thinks it'll be better for them if their rooms feels more like home.) They had some boy time, to chat which was nice. I made Lasagna for the first time. Conner said, "am I going to like it (Lasagna) here?" There are some things that obviously taste different. It was fine. Chatted to Elise on messenger, which is always a good time, & always cheers me up. The night was a rough one, by the time we got the beds & assembled them it was around 9.00pm. So it was a late night for the boys. Conner also had a tooth ache, & wouldn't take any medicine for the pain. After a couple of hours he did though.
Thursday.....
Dragged the boys butts out of bed this morning. (it was probably close to 11pm by the time Conner got to sleep last night. I think they slept well in their new beds. Bruce & I are still camping out on the floor, hopefully next week we will be civilized people that have a bed. Their rooms are coming along, a couple of posters & a few things of their own & they should be good. They are really getting into the NBA teams at the moment, Bruce has found a website for posters hopefully they will be getting some for thier walls soon. Picked Jamieson up from school, did lunch & went to the pool. Conner's school rang to say that he had a tooth ache, so I went to pick him up that was about 2pm. He came home & rested in bed. Bruce was at the office, (A note from Bruce - we finally got our Social Security Number today - WOO HOO! Funny though - they lady at the office said on April 11th - it will take 4 weeks - well - on May 11th it arrived. The guys at the office nearly fell off their chairs. What was also strange - the fact that their were 2 letters, one dated May 2nd - saying the card would be ready in 2 weeks. It arrived the same day! GBA)hopefully we have found a dentist to go to. One of the guys at PE Gear's - sister. So when he got home the boys went to the pool after homework & had a swim. We had dinner & the boys were in bed at a resonable time, as was Bruce- he was exhausted. Conner woke up around 12.00 with a sore tooth, Bruce ended up staying up with him until about 1.00am then couldn't sleep, so worked for an hour or so. So late night for Bruce!!
Well another week is coming to an end, it's been another good week. Lot of work done, kids doing well at school & apartment coming along. Go luck to everyone this weekend.
GO - Supercats, Cats, West, Newtown, Joey's, Grovey & Amateurs!!!!!
