Week 14: Having a break

This week my Hubby has taken a break from work, and spent it at home with myself and the girls.

"Popette" had been sick with highish temps, continuous runny nose and night time coughing fits for the past few weeks, so we thought we'd just have a few outings instead of going away.

On Wednesday we had an enjoyable day with the girls at Taronga Zoo. We were so lucky to have beautiful weather which let us see the animals we wanted to see. "Popette" had a wonderful time, and loved seeing the Elephants, Zebras and Giraffes.



On Thursday, Hubby, "Cherub" and I went to "Popette's" daycare for her Easter hat parade. It was great that Hubby was home otherwise he would have missed seeing his little "Bunny" and her daycare friends who had fun searching for little 'chicks' in a treasure hunt and taking part in the hat parade.

Later, Hubby and I got to enjoy a nice meal at a local restaurant for lunch, and spent some quality time with "Cherub" before picking her big sister up from daycare.

Over the past couple of days we have had our families over for lunch, and been to the park a couple of times which "Popette" enjoyed. "Popette" also had fun with her older cousin "Jeggs", searching for Easter eggs and hidden treasure that was planted in our garden and house.

For Easter day we have an Easter egg hunt planned for "Popette" and nice lunch, apart from that just a quiet lazy day at home.

As a full-time stay-at-home Mum, I don't earn leave like my Hubby, so I don't feel as though I really get a holiday 'per se', so I am grateful that I've had a little break from the day-to-day chores and usual routine while Hubby has been home.

I hope you have an enjoyable Easter!

  1. The zoo sounds like a great idea for the school holidays! I'll add it to my to do list. We haven't been for a while.

  2. Sounds like a fantastic time. We are off to Australia Zoo on Friday and praying that hubby meets his Wednesday deadline so he can come too (he has worked this whole Easter "break")

  3. These kind of weeks are the best there are, Julie. Unhurried family time and a little break from the usual routine. That's a real holiday. x
