Weekend of Fun

This weekend Jenny and Maddie stayed with us which was wonderful! It was so good to see them after such a long time! Jenny had a wedding on Saturday so James and I were lucky enough to look after Maddie for the day. It was good practice for what is to come!
In the morning we took her for a walk and she went to sleep (as planned). It was a 50 min sleep which was ok. We then got ready and went to the church markets. It was funny seeing the looks and having each person we new say the funny line 'wow, that happened quickly'. She was great though! Loved walking around looking at the different stalls, just walking around, being carried and meeting different people. She also got to meet Oscar for the 1st time which was cute. We then headed home for some lunch, followed by another walk to go to sleep again. She did go to sleep (such a good girl) and James and I had a bit of down time. Later that afternoon Jens, Howie and Oscar came around to play. It was funny seeing Oscar and Maddie both be unsure of eachother (I guess because of the age difference) but still be kind to each other. We played inside and then on the grass outside. We waved a Chilli in the tree and saw the windmill spin. All good fun. Then it was bath time, dinner time and bed time. Maddie went down for a bit but then wanted to hang some more so James and I took it in turns walking with her in the hallway, sitting with her on the couch and bed with her dozing on and off. 
At the end of the day, how did we feel? Exhausted? Yes! But loved the day? Yes! We both are amazed at how our awesome sisters do motherhood so well and how the survive day in and day out.
Hoping that we can do the same in 7 months time.

We also had family BBQ yesterday which was great to see everyone and chat with them, but by the end of the day we were very tired! So last night was a night infront of the tv - for James to watch the V8s before he heard any news about who won/lost, etc. and for me to fall asleep infront of it on the couch (as per usual).

All in all a great weekend! Thanks Jenny and Maddie for coming to stay!
