Happy "Australian" Mothers Day ...

We had a great weekend this week celebrating the Australian version of mothers day. The cards had been written and the present bought. Incidentaly this was wrapped by some Girl Guides who made such a ham fisted effort of it that it looked like I had wrapped it myself. It was an early start as we were travelling down to the Central Coast about an hour away. Amy and Mitch invited us along to spend the day with thier families which was a really nice gesture. Now normally the Ivey family are up and about before the sun pops up to say hello ... typical that on this one day we had to wake the little blighters up!

With the car packed we travelled (slowly according to Mitch!) to the Entrance. We unpacked the car and started cooking breakfast. Alfie was quite taken with the skateboarders and having watched them for a while wanted a piece of the action. A mini deck was arranged and he was off, showing all the grace and balance of his father!



Charlie had a good time too ... taking the opportunity for some al fresco breakfast from mum and the odd nap here and there.



There was plenty of food, laughs and balls of various shapes and sizes! Alfie had a great time running around, kick throwing and running before scaling the great heights of the spiders web.



After a full day it was back into the car for the journey home. The boys slept most of the way and mum had a snooze when she got back ... so she did get the cup of tea and coisant in bed after all! Happy mothers day mum...
