Mr M, the boys and I travelled back home yesterday after our camping trip down in the caves out of Goulburn. Don't ask the name of the cave structure.. I was already having trouble pronouncing most of the towns but it started with W! :)
Our first big day there was Saturday. We took the boys on a bush walk with Aunty M, K and L.. Uncle D And Mrs L and E. It took us down and up mountain faces, goat track paths, into amazing cave structure... With a pram. And L. Everyone was such an amazing help. L had his moments of sheer exhaustion, as did everyone else.. But he did it and finally we all got back home relatively unscathed! I am so proud of everything we achieved and thankful for everyone's help and understanding but mostly proud of L for the strength and determination he put in even though he just couldn't chuff anymore . Reminds me of the "I think I can I think I can I think I can"... He probably thought he couldn't but he did.
Saturday night found the children sleeping and the group of us relaxing by the fire telling jokes and enjoying our last night.
Easter bunny visited Sunday morning and both boys loved it. L understood it this year. Easter was saved by Mr M who refreshed the supply after a sad and shameful melting moment in the back of the car. Soon after we packed up and headed off. I spent the afternoon having my first ride of a ride-on-lawn mower and it was SO MUCH FUN! Mr M fixed my car for me while the boys enjoyed having a snack and watching the world around them.. (Mummy zipping around on the mower and waving at every pass by and Mr M under a car - L's prime).
We managed to get back to my place around the 10pm mark. The boys were so well behaved on the trip back. We arrived back to a monstrosity of our home. Poor max was starving and there was "Mess" everywhere. (Wont go into the gruesome details... But it was bad... Worse then bad). I didn't finish cleaning till 1.30 this morning. Not the best coming home welcome.
And so today brings us to Bacon and Eggs. The best breakfast since sliced bread. Actually.. The best view since the observatory! :)
After a stressful and daunting weekend.. Mr M is still here. Cooking breakfast...! Don't think anything could wipe the smile off my face!
