Grown Ups Night Out & The Weekend

Last Friday night Josie slept at Baba's so that Mummy and Daddy could go on a date.

It was fabulous!

We went out for dinner at a place at Fox Studios. It was delicious! The only thing that marred the night was the bloody thousand bogong moths flying around. Honestly, do we have to have a yearly plague?

After dinner we made a quick trip to Jacqui's place so Tony can fiddle with her laptop. They have a medium sized aquarium and some tropical fish. One of which has had a number of pregnancies (even though her mate died a few months ago!!) Currently they have a million baby fish inside the tank, another million in one breeder box and the mother, currently pregnant again, in a second breeder box. I tell you, baby fish are SOOO cute!

We got home around midnight and didn't get to sleep till around 3am, which was quite silly because we had organised a conference call with Harri for Saturday morning. I sent her an email saying we were pooped and can we do it Sunday morning instead.

On Saturday morning, once I had woken up, I went and picked up Josie from mums, and we went shopping.

Shopping is always an interesting experience with Josie. If its not "I want this!" "I want that!", its always Josie trying to steer a full trolley of groceries all by herself. The afternoon was uneventful though, so thats a blessing.

Sunday morning was very exciting though. We had our Skype call with Harri, Sven and Ella.

It was so exciting to see them all, especially Ella, who was a trooper lying in mums arms the whole time. We were lucky in our timing cause Ines & Dave had come round to drop off some stuff at just the right time, so we all got to chat with Harri.

Josie was very excited to see Harri and Ella and 'Auntie Sven'.

After the call, and after Ines & David left, we got ready and went to meet Mat, Wendy and Granny at Coogee for lunch.

Coogee is always a favourite place for a meal cause we sit outside and bask in the lovely Sydney weather.
After lunch, Mat, Wendy, Tony, Josie and I all went Bowling. It was so much fun (Josie's second time). Mat won, Josie beat both me AND Tony, Wendy came second and I came last ;-)

Let me tell you though, bowling has changed some since the last time I went!

Firstly, the shoes are VELCRO! Can you imagine? VELCRO! Last bowling shoes I put on were lace ups!
Secondly, there were no computers! All the names were programmed in at the front desk, and the scoring happened automatically!
And thirdly, the kids gutter guards came up AUTOMATICALLY every time it was her turn!

I was muchos impressed!!

So thats pretty much it for last weekend. I am now back from Canberra the weekend after and need to update about that!! Bah!!
