Our busy weekend pt1

On the first weekend in April we had a very big weekend. Firstly we had Jhorjie with us for the weekend and we had a great time with her. It was great to see her fit in so happily with us. She chatted away to all (including Tony!)
Friday night we had Margie and the girls over for dinner. We had been to Margie's dad's funeral on Thursday and went out to dinner with Margie, Greg and their families afterwards. Greg had to go back to Sydney and Margie was here with the girls in a motel so we invited them over for dinner. (Not that Margie and tony need an excuse to get together for a gossip session).

There was lots of chats, catching up, reminiscing and laughs. the best thing was how well the girls got on.

This picture is terribly deceptive as I think this the only time all 5 girls sat down and it literally lasted for about 5 minutes maximum! They spent a lot of time outside playing with the guinea pig and running and yelling. I do think the neighbours were thinking we were killing a few kids here with all the squealing and yelling but they had such a good time. They came in for dinner and then headed back out (in the dark) - we could tell where they were by following the noise.

We really do need to make more of an effort to catch up and socialise. I love to mix with people and I find it very restrictive with Tony's hours. We even missed our annual bbq where we invite all our friends for a big catch up - may have to do a June long weekend barbie!
