On Saturday night I went out for tea with some Mums from Sarra's school. Sarra and Hallie slept at their Wheeler cousins' house for the night and Oliver and I slept at Mums as Simon was working doing night shifts. We went to Flavours restaurant in Charles Street which is just down from the hospital next to Sporties on the corner. There was about eight of us and it was lovely to have a night to ourselves to relax and enjoy each other's company without kids dragging at us after school, throwing bags paintings and newsletters at us before running off to the playground - as if they have not had enough of school already. Westbury is about 20 minutes out of Launceston and has a beautiful 'village' feel to it. The town even has a Village Green full of big beautiful trees and a play area. It is lovely to sit there in summer under the coolness of the trees and watch the kids play - but I digress. Westbury Primary has approximately 180 students which is perfect because it is not too big and not too small. A wonderful balance for Sarra to make plenty of friends and still provide a good teacher/student ratio. Sarra's grade 1 class has a wonderful group of Mums so I jumped at the chance to have a bit of downtime away from the classroom. We had a wonderful night chatting and laughing uproariously. Hopefully we can have many more nights like this before our kids enter highschool and the real fun at home begins...........ahhhhh!!!

Family Reunion
On Saturday afternoon my cousin Annie Zammit who I Had not seen since high school which makes that.... what say 18 years, has moved back to Tasmania with her two children Brittany and Cody. Brittany goes to Queechy High with my nephew Jayme and Cody goes to Norwood Primary with Rohan and Emily. I had lunch with her a few weeks ago but had not met her kids yet. It was wonderful catching up. The years melt away and its like no time has past at all. We spent alot of time reminiscing and laughing about growing up and spending time at Nanna and Pop Lanham's house at Beauty Point. There used to be a tyre swing near their house that we played on all the time and often we would sail so high we would scream with laughter until we could not stop. It will be great spending more time with her now she has moved from Sydney.
