End of another week!

Well. it's the end of another week. 2 down 4 more to go. All in all we had a relatively good week this week. Adam is becoming more accustomed to hospital every morning and even knows he does not have to go Saturday and Sunday.

Friday went well, after our daily trip to the Western and getting his gripper needle out we headed for nursery. They were having an Art Exhibition of all the childrens work. We got juice, tea and coffee and cream scones and chocolate crispies. After looking around all the artwork we had to negotiate with our artists a price to "buy" the pieces. All funds raised were going to our sister school in Africa. He had a great time, hopefully this is us getting back into the going to nursery routine. Going to take him a couple of times next week again, so long as he is feeling well enough.

So these pictures are priceless works of art now, which we will treasure for a lifetime.



On Saturday, Adam went to the local Youth Club for ages 5 to 8 years olds which is held round the corner from us at the Community Centre from 10.30am - 12.30pm. Scott already goes there every week but Adam only just started since turning 5. It's really good for them and I also leave them, so it's great that Adam and I are getting some time apart too. He was really excited and did really well, he joined in with most activities and was well behaved. Unfortunately at 12 noon, I got a phone call to say Adam had been sick, only bringing up his juice, so again, I think it was more the excitement than treatment. I went round and picked him up and he was munching on snack!! He felt fine!

Once they came home from the club we all had lunch. Paul and Marc had been out on their bikes for the morning too and had a good time together.

Spike was golfing at his old club, Swanston, yesterday and not teeing off until after 1pm, so I took the boys to Portobello Beach as it was scorching here yesterday. I thought they would maybe like to go paddling, walk on sand and have an ice cream - how wrong was I !!

They went in swimming!!! I had only taken 1 towel with me too, ha ha. They had a great time though, Paul ended up in his boxer shorts as his jeans got soaked. We did have an ice cream though.




We came home and had a BBQ in the garden with our neighbour, Vicky, her sister Becka and daughter Mia. It was a great way to finish of a lovely day. Spike was back from golf about 7pm just as I was getting the boys organised to come in from the garden. He had a good time at golf too.

Was a lovely day had by all.

Almost feels normal!
