The beach and more...

The last week has been so busy for us! I don't remember the last time we fitted in quite so much in one week lol.

Last Saturday we headed to Carrum beach with my FIL & his family. It was the perfect day for it as it wasn't too hot and it was actually quite overcast for most of the time we were there. My FIL took his sail boat but there was no wind whatsoever so he didn't end up taking it in. Coban had a fabulous time playing in the water, which is unusual for him as he went through a stage last year where he was scared of the water.











On Sunday we had my good friend Amanda's wedding which was just beautiful. The ceremony was held at a catholic church in Bentleigh East and the reception afterwards was held at The Brighton Savoy. Daniel & I stayed the night there and my FIL looked after the girls in our room until after the reception. I fed the girls before the ceremony then went back to the hotel and fed them again. They went to bed just after we left to go downstairs to the reception and then i went back up about 9pm to feed them once more. So it worked really well and meant that we could get out and have a good time with other adults lol.

My MIL looked after Coban that night and she was supposed to bring him to the hotel by 10am Monday morning so that we could go over to Brighton Beach and take some photos. (I've never been there before and really wanted some beach box photos lol.)But that never happened!!! We waited around in the stinking hot sun for an hour with two very tired, grumpy girls and by 11am, i had had enough of waiting. Apparently MIL was 10 minutes away but by then it was just too late. We decided to go home and put the girls to bed. :( So now i have to wait for another function in that area before i will get a chance to get back to Brighton Beach lol.

I didn't get very good photos of the wedding as the lighting was crap in the church and i was too far away at the reception. I didn't want to be a pain and go right up the front while they were getting their professional photos done. So here are a couple that turned out ok lol.











On Tuesday, my Dad came to stay with us. He stayed for 2 nights then headed back up to Kapunda. It was lovely to have him here. It was the first time that he had met the girls too so it was extra special. Coban loved having him here too.





Tomorrow we are going to my best friend's DD's 3rd b'day party. It is going to be really hot so i hope my kids will be ok. Normally Miranda & Claudia get very grumpy and don't sleep very well when it's hot and we're out so fingers crossed.
