It's the end of a bit of a miserable weekend weather wise. The much hyped Cyclone Lusi ended up being barely a storm in this neck of the woods but certainly the wettest weekend we've had so far this year.
Which posed a bit of a challenge in entertaining the two monkeys who spend a large proportion of their time outdoors (mainly chasing cicadas in recent weeks). It didn't help that I was in a bit of a funk on Saturday - I'm really, really not a bad weather person so maybe it was the rain bringing me down. Thank goodness for husbands great at distraction allowing me a good break, a hot bath and time to finish my book.
I need to take a leaf from the children's book, they don't care one jot about the weather - life is all a big opportunity for enjoyment, discovery and fun. Will try to remember that to get me through winter!

| Okay, so Autumn is kinda beautiful. And there's feijoas. Plus a tree didn't fall on our house. |
So there was Lego, coloring, visits from the kids next door, puddle stomping, baking, slot car racing, pizza picnics on the lounge floor, playing in a box, movie night and lounge sleep outs. And that was just Saturday!

| Literally HOURS of fun with this empty box. |
Looking forward to the weather clearing a little in the next few days and our girl starting a few full days at kindy. So silly, but it feels like such a big step - I will be a basket case when she starts school in 5 months!
