Melbourne in Autumn

It is officially Autumn here in Melbourne.  It's very chilly at night, it rains quite frequently and while the day time can be comfortable in the sun, you still need a warm sweatshirt or jacket.  I organized everyone's clothes today to pack away all the summer stuff and make the cold weather-wear more readily available.  Only about 3 more weeks left here, but I believe it will be about the same temperature when we get back home.  Should be an easy transition!  It's hard to imagine that we have been living in 3 seasons in only 4 months.  I am so excited to go back home to another summer (however, currently mother nature is not letting spring make an appearance in MN yet).

I was able to go downtown tonight by myself to do a little shopping whilst Devon put the kids to bed.  I will welcome any opportunity to get out of bed time!  With my un-showered, hair in a pony, I've been taking care of kids and cleaning the house all day good looks, I set off to the trendy Melbourne city to go... grocery shopping!  Oh the exciting life I lead!  I was able to take in so much more than I usually do.  When I'm with the kids I am constantly and only aware of them.  Are they near me?  Are they going to get hit by a car?  Are they running into people?  Are they going to have a tantrum now?  I don't see anything else.  I got my shopping done, and perused the aisles a little more than necessary and headed back home.

Perhaps the next time I get this opportunity I'll have showered and will be more presentable and maybe even frequent a coffee shop, or have a glass of wine.

Tomorrow is Friday.  No big plans for the weekend.  We might take the kids to see a movie.  Any good kid movie recommendations?  I'm so out of the loop here!

No pics today. I'm tired and they take too long to upload.

'Night for me, Morning to you!
