(I'm gonna try and remember to update this every day so I'm not scraping my memory about what happened over the past week on Sunday!)
Monday
We had an awesome day today! Cillian and I went to a few different parks before picking Darragh up - mainly so we can get a good parking space! We got to the school at 2:15 and most of the good parking spaces had been taking already which seems totally ridiculous to me! But it worked out well as there's a wee park close by that Cillian loves so we went there for a bit, and he fell over right in the mud typically! I made him a daisy chain crown as he wanted to be 'king of the castle' but it kept breaking much to his dismay! We had our usual Monday trip to the library and got a few new books, the boys were particularly excited about 'everybody poops'! Typical boys! We also did a volcano experiment which went really well... until I shook it and (despite me asking him to stand back a significant amount of times) Darragh put is face right next to the bottle and the volcano erupted into his face! Luckily he was totally fine, I rinsed his eyes out a few times which made him more agitated than the actual 'lava', most of it went on his forehead luckily! But if anyone actually reads this and has tips on how to get a 5 year old to listen to you that would be great!
Tuesday
We had a pretty chilled out day today, the boys are really into colouring and drawing at the moment so we spent a while doing that, we also went for a long walk down the bay and ended up at the playground for a bit which is always fun!
Wednesday
We had heaps of fun today! Most of the Au Pairs met at chipmunks with a Cushla for a kind of goodbye session as most of the au pairs are leaving this month. We also took the scooters down to Caroline bay after picking Darragh up from school to blow off some steam.
Thursday
The busy week (and waking up in the night!) definitely got to Cillian today as totes emosh didnt cover it!!! But we still managed to have fun in between the breakdowns, we made weetbix biscuits which turned out quite nice surprisingly! Better than the ones I made at nursery anyway! Then we went to the scenic reserve with Darragh and spent half an hour running around and playing on the equipment which was ace.
Friday
Gave Cillian a proper man bun today which looked very cute! Darragh had a treat day at school as it was the last day of term, and went to school in his pyjamas which he was very excited about! Cillian rocked out at mainly music today, it was adorable to watch! Mara came today which was nice, so there were loads of au pairs and we all went to the play ground after (well apart from Fabi, Ben and Tori as Ben has a cold and wasn't feeling great!) and we spent heaps of time there! The family we're going away for the weekend, so I finished at 4 for a change which was nice on a Friday! I went to the pub in Geraldine with Fabi, Fie, Sabrina, Julia, Mara and Emily as Fabi and Fie are leaving after the weekend!
Saturday
Had a lovely lie in this morning without the elephants in the room above me! Haha the house is weird without them here though! I didn't do much, other than read, until Sabrina picked me up and we went to grab alcohol before crashing at Fabi's watching catfish for a bit. Mary he very kindly let us use a unit for pre drinks and to crash in so we headed there and ordered dominos. It was a good night... until we found it that Fabi had gone to hospital with alcohol poisoning! Luckily she's totally fine now though!!
Sunday
This morning consisted of cleaning the unit, getting maccys and sadly saying the last goodbye to fair and Fabienne! It's going to be weird without them, especially when their host families' new au pairs get here! Other than that I just crashed out binge watching grey's anatomy!
