Crazy Week

Well what a busy week we have had here. It all started with a lovely visit from my Mum. We spent the weekend, relaxing, shopping and spoiling the kids. Monday morning after packing Miss 7 and Master 9 off to school, we bundled Miss 5 into the car and took a trip up to the local Recovery shop to see what treasures we could uncover.
While there sifting through the dust and numerous unwanted items, we discovered an old Captains chair which really wanted to come home and tuck its shapely legs under Miss 7 newly acquired desk. We hoisted this into the car and were once again on our way.

Next stop was the Salvo's store where I acquired this lovely assortment of vintage bread and butter plates, or cake plates not sure of the correct term. They just sound devine when clinked together. On exiting this premises we had an encounter with I'm sure the worlds slowest parker. Did I mention a P Plater. Nearly crashed into the said car because of the amazing slowness. Then waited to appologise for nearly crashing and while waiting for the lady to finish parking so I could talk to her, my hair all but turned grey from the long wait. LOL

Traveled further into downtown Hobart for some retail therapy. Just approaching the door way to the first shop when my poor mother tripped and nearly caught her balance before plummeting to the ground and at the last minute, scrapped all the skin off her nose. Spent some time in a coffee shop while I ran for bandaids and of course coffee to calm the nerves. Nervously carried on with a patched up Nana, Miss 5 promising "I will always look after you Nana"

Did manage to spend a bit in Pumpkin Patch and bought some new PJ's for me also, then headed off to try a nice new restuarant in town. Having a loevly time until Miss 5 empties her grape juice everywhere. Get all cleaned up from that and manage to finish our food. We decided we had better head home before we had anymore disasters. Did have a lovely time and much laughs despite all this.

The next few days were followed with, school, then me home sick, then school, then school reports outs, kids did well so got take out and a DVD and had a family evening in, next day Hubby was sick, then school and now finally the weekend is here. I think it will be a full one. Anyhow that was our crazy, eventful week. What have you been up to?
