Day 159 - THE LIBRARY

Tonight we did something with the kids that both Paul and I remember doing with our own parents when we were younger. 

After Paul got home from work we headed down to the library. Actually I re-aquainted the males in our house to this wonderful place where you can borrow books, saving you from having to buy them all the time! 

Despite having a school library, Mr 11 year old was still a little baffled by this seemingly new phenomena (I took them to the library lots when they were little.....but obviously not for a while!) "You can borrow up to 15 books for 3 weeks? Really?" "Can you renew them?" "But how does a library make any money then?"

As kids Paul and I were often taken to the library in an evening where we would all stock up on several books. The difference here was that instead of heading to the local suburban library, our closest library in Hobart is actually the one in the city just 5 minutes away. It's so nice being so close to the city.

Oh and the evening was capped off with some KFC for dinner after having done all that cooking on the weekend :o)

Day 158 - BOXES

We're doing it again.

The same thing that we were doing this time last year.

Packing boxes that is.

You'd think we'd be quite good at it by now having moved 7 times over our 14 years of marriage.

But as much as I am dying to move out of this house and hopefully into something much better, I am not looking forward to starting to fill these cardboard containers with our stuff again.

Paul has made a start though.

This first box has been packed.

(and as is our tradition, it started with books....always the easiest of our stuff to pack!)
