School Holidays: Carnival & Movie

Heading out with fun with friends is always a good idea.. After picking up Janai’s good friend Olivia we went to grab some dinner and then made our way to the Carnival for some good fun as a family. Jie opted for the fairy floss over the rides but the rest of the kids spent all our tokens on rides which has them spinning and swaying up in the air.. It was a lot of fun!

Afterwards we met Nat and her four eldest kids at the movies to watch Jurassic World 2.. 

It was nice to catch up with some friends and the movie was awesome..

My Thoughts Exactly

Two things you have never done but want to try..
I'd love to go on a road trip and stand under a waterfall.

One thing that scares others but doesn't scare you..
Creepy Crawlies.. Spiders, moths, cockroaches, bees, wasps etc.

Three things about this time of year..
Well at the moment it is winter here in Australia and where we live the nights are cold. So at the moment colds have effected 3 of the kids so far, the kids warm blankets are taken into the lounge room each morning and everyone flocks to the heater every chance they get.

Two things in your life that are changing..
The first thing would be my eating habits. I now eat three meals a day and snacks which is a huge achievement and the other thing that is changing is the expectations I put on myself. I am learning not to commit to things that are not important to me and to be okay with saying no to friends/community/DHS/family and just in general. I create my life and it doesn't have to be complicated. It's okay to look after myself and make me a priority.

Three little things that mean a lot..
Friends checking in on me, Dad's wisdom and time spent with my children.

One thing you're thinking about that you're just not ready to talk about yet..
My last holiday with my Dad.
