A day out in Melbourne

So the kids and I had a big day out in Melbourne, well at least it felt like a big day! We went to town to go to IKEA and pick up a few toy storage buckets, and ended up getting a little more than we went for, but that is the thing about IKEA, there is always something else that you can't live without! Lily walked with me and Oliver was in his stroller, we were in and out in 40 min, which is really really good for us! Then it was into the city to meet Greg for lunch, which went relatively well considering that the kids were HUNGRY by that time, Oliver ate everything, Lily decided to be picky. She will also eat anything, it just depends on her mood that day, today she decided to eat like her Dad, and had calamari rings! I was a little surprised. When we were finished there were two rings left, she had one on her wrist, and one on her finger lie a ring and bracelet! Sorry, the only picture is on the cell phone, if I ever figure out how to load them onto the comp I will add it. Then it was to the ban for us to complete some paperwork that me and my passport had to personally be there for! afterwards we went to a friends apt. to take in the view of the city from the 50th floor, very nice, again I yelled at myself for not bringing the camera! We had a lovely visit, our last as Jaibei is leaving for China in a few days. We went downstairs for a coffee and a treat for Lily, then it was back to the car, and oh my it is 5 oclock! Where did the time go? Into the car we go, bottle for Oliver, juice for Lily, coffee for Mum, kids are asleep before we get out of the carpark! Thank goodness as we then hit traffic, for the first time. We got home a little after 6, and Oliver didn't last 30 min. before he was ready for his next bottle and bed! Poor baby. Lily is finishing off the day with a movie, and is soon to bed herself, and I am just cleaning up, getting ready to organize those toys into their buckets!
