More of the same

Oh, I am a bad blogger aren't I ???

Nothing too exciting happening around here, just more of the same really.

Had a lovely weekend, started off Saturday with a visit to the local grammer school open day and I have to say I had no idea that schools could be so wonderful.  I was beyond impressed.  The facilities were amazing and the junior school coordinator answered every question we asked with ease.  Abbey adored the Early Learning Centre, she played for ages and did not want to leave. 

The only question now is do we move the kids or wait until they reach secondary school ? And if we do move them now will they hate us for the rest of their lives for moving them from their friends ?  I've put it in the "too hard" basket for now.

My parents and my brother and sister came for dinner Saturday night and I made Nonna's Crostoli.  It was delicious but I was in a big rush and didn't take photos or measure all of the ingredients so I will have to promise to post the recipe another day.

On Sunday I got to go for a big walk with my gorgeous friend Ellen.  We had heaps to talk about and I barely noticed I was exercising.  And whilst we were walking Ellen's lovely daughter Laura did my washing !!!  She is an angel.

David is home this week due to his project being finished up early so I decided to get out for the day without Abbey.  

After a horribly slow trip on the Monash I picked up my sister Lissy and we hit Ikea.  I needed storage containers for the kids and various other bits and pieces.  As always I picked up a few items that I deemed absolutely necessary at the time but now that I am home I am not so sure. 

We then drove to Chapel Street and did a little more shopping and then had lunch at the beautiful Cafe e Cucina.  I had amazing gnocchi with roast pumpkin and duck meatballs in a parmesan sauce.  Yummo, I would like to eat here for every meal.

On the way home I dropped in on my sister in law and saw my beautiful niece and nephew Riley and Bella.  They were so cute, they had so much to tell me that they were talking over each other.

And I arrived home to a lovely meals of roast chicken.

I think I need to leave more often !!!

Tomorrow I am going to look through a house that Ellen is thinking of buying.  I love nothing more than going through houses I have never seen before and this one is going to be impressive, what I have seen of it online is amazing.
