Sneak Peak: Attempting to Spice Up the Week!

With all the blogs of our crazy adventures, it is probably hard to believe that we occasionally live a normal day to day life :)!  I know I am so behind with my posts because I have been off on crazy adventures with the Stoddard family and my mommy visiting, but here is a little peak into our boring escapades during the week until I get the next few posts up!  

2/27/12 – Melbourne, Australia

It was nice being back at school today especially because the kids were so excited to see me back in the classroom with them.  What a great feeling to be gone for a week and have the kids all still remember my name and ask about how my camping trip was! 

2/28/12 – Melbourne, Australia

Tonight was $10 Tuesday movie night!  Tommy and I decided that we would switch off planning our Tuesday night date as a surprise for the other.  There are village cinemas all over Melbourne, so I picked a new one in South Yarra/Richmond on the popular Chapel Street to try a new theatre and have a fun place to get some grub after the movie.  As always we shared our popcorn and coke slushy, which is a tradition we started at Bucknell. 

2/29/12 – Melbourne, Australia

Tonight was the last Queen Victoria Market as it is held solely over summer because of the warm weather permitting this great outdoor, live band setting.  It was great luck that we caught word of this before the summer was over because we took advantage of going every Wednesday, which not only was great food, but a good way to get out of the house and doing something fun in the middle of the work week! 

3/1/12 – Melbourne, Australia

IT IS ALREADY MARCH!  I know I always say this, but time is really flying by faster than I can keep up with. 

As always I had a great Thursday at school for my favorite day of the week! 

I decided to plan another fun surprise date for Tommy this week and packed up a nice picnic to have for dinner at the Moonlight Cinema in the Botanical Gardens.  Unfortunately the rain popped in to take a wiz on the lovely grass we were planning on sitting on, so we passed on the date and instead curled up on the couch for a nice movie in the warmth of my house. 

3/2/12 – Melbourne, Australia

Tonight we went out for drinks with our friend Pete that we met through Gina.  As we walked up to the bar excited to meet Pete’s friends, I think we were both completely surprised to find ourselves sitting with a bunch of old geezers…  Pete is 30, but his work companions were all late 30s and 40s!  No thank you!  Needless to say I felt pretty out of place, and Tommy and I cracked up as soon as we turned the corner to walk home.
