Weekend Update

Well we have made it through 1 week in the Eastern Suburbs!

I have to say, 15 mins to get Josie to school has been an absolute joy! I love getting to school early, even beat Michelle and Rachel this morning!

We have some BIG news too! We have tenants! 12 month lease was signed on Saturday and they move in on Friday! Thats one big relief! Now we can start seriously looking for a place for us.

So Saturday was a long day. We left Josie with Baba and Vika for most of the day while we intended on going rental house hunting. We had to go to the north to do a few repairs at the old place, and then I had made a big list of opens to see. Well by the time we got finished at the old place.. we missed all the opens. Managed to see 2 places though, one was seriously on the 300th (4th) floor, with NO lift! No chance there. Even if they paid US! LOL. The second place was an old house that was just gross and unlivable. *sigh* House hunting was a big flop this week. Hopefully next week will be better.

After househunting we went to Vika's hung out for a while, picked up Josie and by the time we got back to Baba's she was asleep. So we put her to bed and watched tv for a while.

Sunday was great! We met Michelle, Ben and Rachel, and Vika and Becka at Fox studios. The kids played in the playground for a while, then we went to Bay Swiss for brunch, by which time Ben had fallen asleep on Michelle's shoulder, so she put him in a beanbag they had on display and he slept there for about 45 mins. People kept walking past and asking if he was real or not, and if he was for sale etc. Funny stuff. Then Michelle took Ben home (he was a bit out of sorts) and we took Rachel and Josie and they went on the merry go round, and then had an ice cream and played in the playground for a while longer before we took Rachel home, had a chat with Sam and Michelle while Ben slept in the car, and then went back to Baba and Deda's.

It was a lovely and relaxing afternoon at home. Tony set up the Tivo (WOOHOO!) and we caught up on Aussie Idol. Went to bed around 10pm. It was a nice relaxing evening too.

I was taking Josie to school this morning and we had this conversation:

Josie: Who is going to pick me up from school today?
Mari: Vika and Becka!
Josie: *gasp* No WAY! I LOVE Becka!

LOL
