Friday at our place

Friday morning started with the usual cleaning routine in readiness for up to 15 children for Bible Study. We get out some toys and different activities like colouring and playdough (which I found in the fireplace the other week).

One of the upsides of Bible Study. Cake leftovers! Friday afternoon was a lot quieter however.

Ben had to promise to have a sleep so he could go to the Knights game. On Friday Afternoon Richard's parents and Brumy (from Birmingham, England) cousins came up for the weekend. Andrew and Divina are looking to emigrate over here. Came this time (2nd visit in a year) to check if they def. want to move here. I think they do. The only choice now is Sydney or Newcastle. No competition in our eyes! Rich had a few guitar lessons before we walked to the club for a quick dinner.
Andrew and Joel deciding on drinksH2O for everyone. Some golden water? A little colouring in to pass the time.
Then the boys left us and we had some yummy dessert. We walked home and chattered til they returned. Manly won. But that's o.k. when you're going for both teams just in case.
Daddy bought the boys a footy each. This is Ben with his.

And Joel with his and Grandpa.

Hence it was a late night.

Next chance I get I'll let you know what fun things we did over the rest of the weekend. Except to say that I was first up. We slept in til just after 7:30 (those with small children will understand what I mean) and we were late for our 8 o'clock breakfast booking at the hotel. Surprising that I was first up. The text I sent woke up Rich's Dad who is usually the first in Narraweena to the bakery and newsagency. Whistling as he goes! Was it the comfy bed orthe late night with our boys?

Playdough in the fireplace is a pretty good effort! Isn't Ben cute asleep (not that he isn't cute normally!) :)
