24th April

Suprisingly the girls were very good last night. Sophie must have woken 4 times and asked "Mummy has the easter bunny been yet?" id answer "not yet go to sleep" and she would! I was awake from 4 onwards just dozing waiting until they got up and it wasn't until 6 that Sophie decided she needed her milk. At 6.30 i tried to go get it for her and Libby went nuts because i was leaving the camper. Hence James had to get milk, then take Libby for a walk while i checked if the bunny had visited during the night. Finding he did i told Sophie (who had not touched the much wanted milk in her excitment) that her and Libby could go outside and see if there had been any Bunnies around last night. I filmed all the excitment (all 20 seconds of it- no it prob lasted 5 minutes including the egg hunt) and took pictures or my blog.

The girls enjoyed their chocolate for breakfast (only day of the year this is alowed) while we packed up camp. We then headed off to Katherine (an hour away) to get bacon and eggs for breakfast! Girls were not impressed to be in the car again but when we reached katherine and found a lovely breakfast at the BP of freash cooked bacon eggs sausages tomato and toast for all of us they were happy enough. Olivia soon fell asleep in the car and we passed a reasonaly enjoyable 3 hours non stop to Darwin. Sophie was very excited to be seeing Nanny and Grandad with the whiskers and asked constantly are we there yet? Apparently Mikayla ( my niece) was asking the same from mums end! Finally at 1.30 we arrived to a much changed Darwin and dropping the camper off at our place we met up with Nanny and Grandad with the whiskers and cousin Mikayla who had let us into our home. Sophie and Olivia enjoyed seeing their rooms (though they were pretty boring with just dismatled furniture and boxes) and catching up with their cousin. Sophie dutifully held up her doll Jack and introduced him and her banket to everyone (though we have all met before as she has had them since she turned one)hehe.

We then headed off to Mums place where we will be staying for the next few days while we try to make some sort of a semblence of a home out of the mess of furniture and boxes we have waiting. The roads have all been upgraded on the way to palmerston (where our house is) and Sophie was worried that mummy was lost (though i was still on the right road it just has several turns and sets of traffic lights i had never seen there before). Once at nanny'e we had some more of the good stuff (chocolate). Olivia's new word is.....you guessed it Coclat. chocolate!

Had a lovely roast pork dinner and alomst fell into bed that night. Will do another post when house is set up and ill post photo's then for all of you who don't live in the Darwin area.

Nite all XXX
