Hangover Saturday

The two K's put on an excellent spread last night - some beautiful food, nice wine and great company followed by a particularly drunk game of 'Welfare' Pictionary. Sadly the boys nailed it...just.

Feeling a tad worst for wear on a Saturday morning is a recipe for disaster when there's energetic kids to entertain, but thanks to Ronnie McD we managed to pull ourselves together and attempt at being dutiful parents again. First stop was the basketball court at Joel Terrace park - the boys got all sweaty trying to whoop each other's butts whilst the lady and I sat in the shade, read the paper and played in the park.

Fin fancied a games sesh at Uncle Chris'x 'Xbox house' so whilst the boys got cosy with their remote controls, Bay and I headed into Mount Lawley for some girl time. First stop was the Gelato shop (Strawberry for lady, White choc and Macademia pour moi). Then a mooch around the shops and a delicious half hour in the cool confines of Planet - an independent book store that's packed with great reads, coffee table books, music and limited edition stuff. This is one of those places you could spend half a day in and not notice the time. I love it here. We even found some new Oliver Jeffers stuff and learnt a bit about fairies, much to missy B's delight.

Had a lovely skype sesh with mum and dad who read the kids a bedtime story (thanks mum - saved me a job!) and now its' movie time...Scott Pilgrim V the world (ok...ish...so far) followed by Angelina in Salt.

Looking forward to a good sleep tonight before we head to Rottnest tomorrow :)
