A boring weekend






Well not much has been happening this end of the woods, I have been suffering a major migraine and poor Lachlan is still out of sorts since he had his needles, however i still wanted to try and do something with the kids.
Friday arvo once the weather had cooled down I decided to try out my bike trailer which i got for Christmas. The idea is that Hamish and Emma will ride their bikes to school and i will tow Lochie behind, hmm Hamish has taken a liking to the trailer it seems and thinks been towed along is better then riding his bike. We will see how long that lasts. So anyway I got it out the box and put it all together but the tyres were flat and i couldn't find a bike pump, so i load the kids up in the car and we took a pile of cans and bottles back then dropped off a bag of clothes to the Salvo store, while we were there we had a look through and ended up buying a pile of sesame street books. I had these when i was younger and loved them but Mum gave them away. Anyway we also got a bike pump.


When we got home the kids sat and looked through the books while i pumped up the tyres. In the end we ended up going for a test run, all went well and i was surprised how easy it was to tow behind. Lachlan had a bit of trouble with his little bike helmet, but this was only because he kept trying to eat the harness.











Saturday I had a killer migraine and ended up sleeping most of the day on and off. We went into Bunnings to check out some prices as Stewart is lining the shed, while we where there i sent him off to do that and went and sat down while the kids played on the playground They had some free face painting so the kids were happy and the lady gave them a stamp and a lolly each, phew day saved for the kids.









Sunday I still had my headache so i managed a bit of a lie in. We took Lachlan to get some portraits done, my poor baby is not feeling himself as he didn't really smile once, however we still got some beautiful shots. While we were there Stew found some Christmas trees going out for $8 so he brought 3 of them......... He is planning a big Christmas light show for this Christmas and these are apparently going to be in it somewhere. Stay tuned for that one.
