This week has flown by!
We took the boys to sovereign hill on friday and the had a great time - because it is school holidays they have free kids activities the boys got to dress up as soldiers and had to get gold off the miners and escort it to the bank - where they got paid gold (chocolate) coins for their services, the pic is the boys in their uniforms:)
They also got to make their own candles and dip them in dye to color them. We went down in the mine - which they boys didn't really like! The place looks the same as it did when I was a child. Next time we will go when daylight savings is over so we can see the southern cross show, it was going to start at 10.30 the other night, which was way to late for the boys.
It has been really nice doing things with the boys ~ very soon they won't want to be out in public with us, so we may as well take advantage of family time when we can...lol

I weighed in on thursday at 82.9 which was a .6 loss!
Eating has only been OK lately with everyone still on holidays - looking at the scales I have been maintaining through the week which is good!

My father in law gets on the boat tomorrow to come from Tassie, so he will arrive here on tuesday - unless he goes and does some visiting before he comes here! I will be nice to see him - the last time he was here was in March! I don't know how I will go when he is here as I can't get on my air walker or mini tramp while he is parked in the lounge room..lol

Well I must go clean out the spare room and make up a bed!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend:)

It is nice to do things with them before they grow up too much. They look so cute!
Well done on the weight loss front!

Sounds like a fun outing. My son is 18 and we still do things together like go to the movies but only if I shout. He did tell me that he wouldn't go to the Big Day Out with me though because it's not cool to go with your mother, so I'm going without him.

Sounds like a great day out! YAY for you losing 0.6kg...great job!

Great photo. You are so right doing these things with them now. Later they might not (or they might because they had so much fun when they were younger) so do it all now.

Well done on your loss this week. You are doing so well. Hope you have a lovely day :D

I love the holidays for just that reason, spending time with your kids is wonderful. Congrats on the loss as well.

The kids look fantastic, very happy. It's nice to see brothers who seem to get along.

A huge congrats on the loss, with all your running around and foodie temptations that is a great result.

Well done on the loss babe and I hope having your Dad around has been real nice :-) Don't worry about the exercise too much because you can pick it back up later or try go for some walks instead.
