Train Park: One year on.

Last year on the first weekend in July, Steve shot this video of the children at the train park.

Today we went there again and I came home and found it was the same weekend last year that we went there.

I think it must have something to do with the holidays.

So enjoy the video again from last year and here are some photos from today.



Waiting to get on the train.



Everyone sitting on the train.




Close up of Christopher since he was hidden behind Tom in the last one.

Oh and if you are interested in the post I did last year you can find it here

Ripe Broccoli.

tonight Steve bought in some broccoli from the garden. I was in the mood for some soup so looked for a recipe for Cream of Broccoli soup.

I found this recipe and it was great.

I doubled the recipe and we have enough left over for lunch tomorrow.

Holiday.

A song I really love and very appropriate as we start our holidays here.

More bathroom pictures.

Steve got the bath in last weekend. During the holidays he will probably paint and tile the floor and walls.

Here are some photos of everything so far:

The bath

The other side of the bathroom with the toilet.

We will put the vanity in between the bath and toilet.

mmmmmmmmm. Chinese.

Tonight Steve and I had our date.

On the menu was:

spring rolls for starters.

Fried rice and Noodles for the side dishes.

With the rice and noodles we had Spicy Beef, garlic prawns and sweet and sour pork.

It was a good night.

My 5 things to be grateful for this week are:

(1) a loving husband and healthy happy children.

(2) date night. We will have a date night tomorrow night. We are ordering chinese take away. The girls are going to the movies and the boys will watch a movie at home while Steve and I have some time alone eating our chinese.

(3) Our Catholic faith and the grace we receive from the sacraments.

(4) All the wonderful friends I have made through blogging.

(5) The intercession of the saints when we are finding life difficult.
