Well here we are, it’s Saturday again and another week has flown by.  I really feel old saying that as I can remember being a young child and hearing adults saying “how time flies” and thinking they must be joking as it was an eternity till my next birthday and Christmas. 

My week turned out to be quite eventful with Nick getting tangled up in some fighting with boys in his class.  A trip to see the principle was required followed by long talks about respecting one another blah blah blah!  I was quietly proud of Nick as he stood up for himself against five boys who found it fun to push him around.  My husbands advice to the boys has always been very old fashioned ”if anyone hits you hit them back” unlike my advice which is to walk away and avoid conflict.  He did try Mum’s advice to ignore them but once they began to hurt him he defended himself.  As a Mum I found it horrible that he had a fight but my husband assures me this is normal behaviour for school boys …. hmmm I’ll have to reserve my judgment on that one!

This morning we all headed down to the local craft and farmers market.  The boys only go for the food which I have to admit is so fresh and delicious, they always get a suvolaki and home made lemonade, I get the bacon and egg bun which is just to die for.  Today’s market was the last before winter and unfortunately not all the stall holders turned up but I was still able to spend my money, don’t you worry about that!

It’s Mothers Day weekend here in Australia and tomorrow I will spend the morning with my two lovely boys and then go and visit my Mum in the afternoon. 

To all the lovely Mum’s out there in blogland ….. Happy Mothers Day!
