April/May

The kids and I at Mogo Zoo, April 2011

Poor Kai got his head stuck in this photo board thingy at Mogo Zoo! It was one of those funny/horrible moments...

Building Sandcastles at Longbeach

During the recent school holidays, over the easter weekend, we were blessed to be able to spend some time at the coast (Longbeach NSW). Although the weather was fairly ordinary (as it often is when we go to the coast!!) we still managed to have a great time. We only had to walk across the road to get to the beach :) the kids made sandcastles and flew their kites. We went to Mogo Zoo for the morning as well, but left fairly quickly when we could no longer move for all the people who ALSO decided to go to Mogo Zoo that day ;)



Over the past month we've been to the National Zoo again, to Questacon, and enjoyed having Daddy home for the second half of the holidays. I enjoyed Mother's Day...sort of! The day before Mother's Day we did a lot of yard work, then I followed that with LOTS of ironing and several hours of school work on the computer. I woke up at 5am on mother's day in tears cause I couldn't move :( after many massages, a visit to the dr and chiropractor, I'm still a bit of a mess but significantly better than sunday. God is so good though, as I was leading worship for our mother's day service and I honestly thought I wouldn't be able to do it. In the end I decided to push through and miraculously was able to do it without much pain. It was a huge blessing to me.

School is back and it's a busy term :) Josh has just started piano lessons at school as well. He had his first one today, followed by his first practise tonight. So cute! Kai and Ella want to practise as well of course. I just handed in Malakai's preschool enrollment forms this week too. It's a reminder that there is only about 8 more months until he's not at home full time anymore. The desire to homeschool is still there...we will wait and see what happens and how things go :)
