Another day in paradise

Tracie took Joshua back to boarding school in Brisbane on Saturday morning.  The flight was at some god awful time on Staurday morning so I drove them to the airport leaving Mollie in charge of the sleeping twins.

Got back and everyone was still asleep so i just pottered around the house until a more reasonable hour.

Spent the day keeping everyone occupied and played the usual parenting game of - Keep the kids away from electornice games and TV. This is the equivelent of herding cats. Its absolutely freezing at the moment with frost on the ground so even I didn’t feel up to playing outside - so we took the dog for a walk up to the village for hot chocolate and a play in the park.

Basically I was just trying to kill time before the big night out - Nemo on Ice!

Fish on Drugs or Dead Fish being kept fresh? I couldn’t work out which I was hoping it would be.

So after a quick bite to eat - fish and chips - and no they didn’t get the irony - we headed off to the ice rink. 

Unfortunately it was the Disney version which was incredibly visually stimulating and rather breath taking - especially the 50ft Whale on ice that ate a couple of the skaters.

There must have been about 5000 people in the stadium being sold absolute shite merchandise at hugely inflated prices. One dad in front of me almost passed out after being charged $40 for a funny wee torch!

My kids just looked at me once and decided it was best not to ask.

So in the tradition of many tired parents - I fell asleep for the first act and was woken by Sam telling me I was snoring.

Anyway they enjoyed themselves and was definately the highlight of their weekend.

I was just glad of the sleep.
