Woke up before 6am as Matty was rocking and Katharine needed the toilet. It was still dark outside so I went with her and then climbed back into bed and slept until after 8 - bliss! Nick, on the other hand, was up early, as the kids couldn't get back to sleep and they wanted games and music downloading n their ipods! By the time I got up he was in dire need of a coffee! It had rained over night and everything was a little soggy but it was still nice to sit outside. After breakfast we decided to take all the schoolwork in to town and work from the library in Swansea. The library was great and the kids loved picking their own reading books. Anna picked a book and managed every word herself - awesome! The boys did much better today and covered three different subjects, plus reading - maybe we were just more determined!! We came home for lunch and then set off in the car to explore Lake Macquarie as it was still raining. We drove as far as Speers Point and found a park that was voted the best park in Australia in 2011. We didn't stop, as it was too wet but will go back on a dry day as it looked great. Instead we found a shopping centre and while Nick occupied the kids getting Katharine a scooter for her birthday, I finished off the rest of her birthday shopping. We didn't get home until after 4pm and traffic on the way back was awful - we are definitely ready to get out into the sticks again. The kids all played on their scooters around the park when we got back and Nick and I researched camps further up the coast. Before we knew it, it was 630pm and everyone wanted dinner. By 8 everyone was showered and in bed and the smaller ones went to sleep while Katharine, Nick and I watched a film.
