I’m nearly up to date, it’s now Tuesday and I’m only a couple of days behind not a week like last week and what a week it was. I even have pictures to show off.
We still had Rhys had with us, but the start of the week wasn’t very exciting. We all went back to the usual, school and work. Our work schedule has changed as Paula’s whole day in the office is now Monday so we start the week off with staff meetings and just setting up what needs to be done for the week. The boys weeks are slowing down now that all the testing is done and it’s time for excursions and all that end of year stuff. Bruce did the usual riding the computer all day. Rhys had a chilling out day.
Tuesday we go the kids off to school and took Rhys down to the market to have a look around. He didn’t really get a lot of stuff but we got some plants and other bits and pieces, the usual market stuff. We made a couple of stops on the way home and I decided to that seeing as how it was lunchtime I would take the rest of the day off and Rhys and I would spend the afternoon together doing some more shopping. I had to start birthday shopping for Conner’s birthday so it was a perfect time.
We spent the afternoon together and were back not long after the kids got home from school. Everyone chilled out and played while I did some washing and tidying before Game 3 started. I caught up on a few things on the computer and watched the end of the game. The series ended up being a bust. Rhys packed for his flight to Denver and we chilled out and chatted before going off to bed.
Everyone was up nice and early and out the door around 8.00, as per usual. We said our goodbyes and Bruce and Rhys made their way to the airport. I got a phone call around 11.00 saying he had missed the plane and had to wait a couple of hours for the next one. It was nice I think, they got to have some lunch before he got on the plane. I was at work for the day, but Ross called to say that Rhys arrived ok and they were getting on their flight to Vancouver. We had a quiet night, I packed away all the visitor stuff and did some washing. It’s been hot and not getting any cooler, high 90’s and staying. The one good thing about that is that the clothes all dry quickly.
Thursday was the same except; we ended up going around to the Rivera’s for dinner and a catch up. The kids all ran around in the EXTREME heat running around having water fights in the blow up pool, it was SOOOO hot, even when we left at around 9.00pm. (It was a school night) They are just a great family; Bruce is going to be spending the afternoon with them in Sydney before his flight to Melbourne on the weekend. They are just fun to hang out with and are always saying that we need to come over and play more often, they need some friends to play with. It’s all great fun.
Our Friday was another HOT one, I was all over the place at work, which is becoming normal, and I’m fine-tuning a way to deal with it without anything falling through the cracks. It was a long day and I was ok until I went from upstairs to downstairs in the heat. WE spent a hot night in at home; the boys went off to bed excited about Conner’s birthday the next day.
We were all up at the usual time and Conner opened all his birthday presents from us and some that Ross bought from home. He loved them all and the great thing was that he said how lucky he was to get so much. Bruce and Conner went out to garage sales and I started tidying up and doing cake and dinner prep for that night. They came home with lots of bargains; Conner scored a bigger desk for his new computer.
I went out in the afternoon and did some stuff for Sunday (Father’s day). I went out and got that stuff and some stuff for Conner’s birthday dinner. I got home and cooked dinner, which turned out really yummy. We had a nice diner and I think Conner had a really nice quiet day.
Our Sunday, (Fathers Day) the boys were up and waiting while watching TV. Bruce slept in until around 9.00. He opened all his presents and loved them all, made ones and bought ones. We made him breakfast in bed and he got up late morning. Later in the afternoon we went out and got some fish to go in his fish tank that he got for Fathers’ day. We came home and watched a movie then off to bed. It was an eventful weekend but a not too busy one, which was nice.
I hope you are all staying warm, I hear that it’s getting VERY chilly, ok, down right COLD!!
SO stay warm and look after my husband when he gets home.
