Action of the weekend!

This last weekend Heath and I had planned to take the boys to the zoo on Saturday. They were playing so nicely together that when we told them our plans they told us "Aaaaarrrrrr.........Not today as we are building our house and would like to stay home today...". Well Heath and I were a little shocked to hear this from a 6 and 3 yr old. So we potted around the house for a little before deciding to take a visit to a small village called Leederville. The boys of course were not too happy with us but we wanted to get out the house for a bit. Leederville is well known for all of the various restaurants in the area and there is normally a market on Saturday morning. We wondered through the market the boys played a bit at the kiddies play area and then had their faces painted. Bryce was a little brown bear and Reece a Dalmatian. We did not have a camera with us to take pics but they both looked really cute. We found an Italian restaurant for a small bite to eat and once again the boys found a play area and we had to pry them away once we were ready to go. We then had tears because now they did not want to go home as they were having too much fun.... we just never seem to do the right thing!

So on Sunday we did not tell them that we were off to the zoo we just packed a picnic basket, some books, cameras and zooted off to the zoo. Once they were there they were over the moon. We had a great day playing in the kids area, walking around the various areas looking at the animals, eating, playing some more, relaxing and reading until around 4pm when we climbed into the car for home.

They had tired themselves out so getting them ready for bed was not such a hard task and they were both fast asleep by 8:00pm.... an absolute miracle for this household!

The week ahead is a busy one with parent teacher meetings, work functions, friends for dinner. It does not stop over the weekend either as the boys are starting kidz sport on Saturday, Reece also has a birthday party on Saturday and then Reece & Bryce are going to give soccer a shot on Sunday. Gonna need another weekend to relax after my weekend!

Cheers
