Lorne

So here we are on our awesome weekend away! Hubby surprised us during the week by saying let's get away for the weekend! So on Friday we pack our things, picked mikayla up from school early and took off down the coast! This has to be my favorite part about living in Melbourne! The ease of getting from the hussle and bustle to the tranquility of the beach is so simple!!! We were able to attempt dinner at the Lorne hotel last night which was amazing as always! The girls were great and so well behaved which is nice for a Change!! N2 is loving the idea of being on holidays! She keeps asking to go to the new house?!? I think she'll be quite sad when pack up and go this afternoon!!! We decided to stayed at the Mantra Erskine Beach and this place is fantastic! The only thing that it lacks is the beach views. However the heated pool has been a winner with the kids as has the massive grassed area in the middle!


It's a great spot as we can watch the kids run wild from our room!!! We are only here for one night but that is just enough when you have a 6 week old baby I think!!! Yet in saying that she has been brilliant and even went for her first swim today!! Well she sat in the spa with me anyway, that's close enough! Heading home this afternoon was kind of my idea though as the girls and I have organized a bit of a surprise day for hubby tomorrow as his birthday is wednesday next week!! So the idea is to wake him up with breakfast in bed, as he does early starts so we can't do it during the week, with breakie will be a card with our itinerary for the day, including ditching the kids, driving to Daylesford, doing lunch and massages!! I'm really looking forward to it! But what he won't know, is that while we are gone, the girls and my mother and sister in law will be decorating and organizing the surprise dinner for when we get home!!!! I'm so excited, it should be a great day! But while I lay here on the bed with hubby and two kiddies sleeping, the other watching movies on her itouch,


I can't help but think of all the things I should be doing at home!!!!! The house needs to be mopped and tidied and washing is decorating the place like a laundromat!!! Argh!! I wish the fairies would visit our house!! Stay tuned and I'll be sure to rub in how great our day was in Daylesford! And how the surprise went!! - Always a smile from us
