Saturday

We went to the optometrist this morning, they said it didn't matter that Kenz didn't have her glasses and they said they've obviously made a great improvement so far! But she needs some Vision therapy - which is a 6 week program for $349!! And she might need 2-3 x 6 week programs! Her eyes don't track properly and this would help improve all of her schooling. She said she can tell McKenzie is intelligent, she just has to work really hard at everything and gets tired and gives up (which is exactly her!).

So it looks like I'll have to pull her out of Numberworks (maths tutors) now for the rest of the year - so we can afford to do this. But I think it will be worth it. Private Health Insurance doesn't cover it either. (what's the point of having it..ok don't get me started)...

Then I went to Cradle to Crayons -the 2ndhand toy and clothing shop at Arana Hills and Debbie gave me another $100 for the stroller, port a cot (which was at least 10 years old and was given to me), the little green swing, a table and chair set (which was 2nd hand when given to me) and a Little Leaps World activity thing for babies/toddlers.. I still have to take the fisher price House another time. I just didn't have enough room in the car (or time, as we were racing out of the house) as Ben had an appointment as well.

Then went to the new Bridal Shop at Arana Hills but there wasn't anything there - everything was for very formal weddings, not beach ones - so I have to keep looking....

Got home and Ben's appointment had left, so we had a quiet time at home and the kids played outside. We're thinking of buying them a cubby house for the backyard. Looking at CubbyKraft (in WA) and Aarons Outdoor at Strathpine.

Then we walked Oscar and the kids rode their bikes - big mistake - half way around the block they both started complaining of sore legs and Dom refused to ride any more and Ben had to carry him on his shoulders and I had to push his bike. So next time we go, we will all be walking!

Both kids refused to eat dinner (French Onion, Tomato, chicken and rice) so Dom too himself to bed at 6.30pm. Kenz followed shortly after.

We watched Get Smart on DVD.
