Well, we had a lovely weekend really - just a few minor setbacks and lots of family time.

Friday we went to the one church service in our parish - and met the area's new minister.  He invited us back to the rectory for morning tea, which was nice.  Then we went to a friend's place for an Easter Egg hunt, which the kids really enjoyed.

Mum and Dad flew in in the afternoon from Melbourne, so DH went and picked them up from Canberra (about 1 1/2hr drive) - we thought R would want to see the planes, but NO!  So DH took B and I stayed home with R.  We had Mum and Dad over for dinner, which culminated in DH taking R to hospital (a 45min drive) as he had stuck an olive pip right up his nose and it was causing him great distress.  True to form, once arrived and checked in, it fell out!  So, home they came.

Saturday we had my brothers up for the day and we all had lunch at Mum & Dad's.  That was lovely - even though we don't live too far away from each other (1 1/2-2hrs drive), we don't meet as often as we should.

Sunday we went to our church and then raced to the local retirement village to visit the old people (with a group of friends) - true to form we raced there and arrived just in time to hand out eggs and go.  R was really confused and wouldn't join in and I'm afraid I got cross.  Shame, as it was otehrwise a good day.

The only other excitement was DH's first official call-out for the rural fire brigade, which he joined in January and officially passed his training last week.  A vehicle accident in the nasty weather - gladly nothing too serious, but the kids were a bit bewildered when his pager went off and he was off in about 30seconds.  I guess we'll all get used to it.

Otehrwise we have plodded along, not doing much but spending plenty of time together.  R has been off his food and very grumpy and sleepy - plus quite high temperatures, so we have not been out much since Sunday.  He is getting better but still uses it as an excuse when he doesn't want to do something - typical boy!  Glad he picked up so quickly as in the past he has been to hospital a few times for something minor that has escallated.  Whew!
