Good morning everyone :) Sorry I did not get a chance to blog yesterday; my day was totally jam packed so I had no time to turn the computer on! I hosted our lovely Mum's Group gathering here yesterday until 2pm and then I spent the afternoon decorating a gorgeous cake while my darling children refused to nap. Then it was time for the dinner, bath and bed routine, except I had to mix it up a bit: While I was decorating the cake (which I will post pictures of as soon as I can find a computer other than Mat's archaic shed computer to upload them) Sophie and Elliott were playing beautifully together. There was no fighting, fussing or crying...really I should have known better. Once I had finished the cake, I discovered that they had been sitting outside on the mini trampoline absolutely lathering themselves in sunscreen, zinc and insect repellent. Into the bath they went while I vacuumed and mopped the floors and put dinner on. We managed to make it through dinner with little fussing then it was down to the bathroom to clean their teeth and then straight to bed. Naturally, Mat arrived home after everything was done so I recruited him to help me finish cleaning the house before our evening guests arrived. All in all though, it was a lovely day and a lovely night and my blog just had to go by the wayside so I could be present and enjoy everything in my day.
Other than rambling on about yesterday, I wanted to share with you a couple of funny things from my gorgeous little girl, Sophie. I sprung her picking her nose and eating it and immediately said "Eeeew, Sophie, don't eat your boogas!" "Why" she asks with genuine questioning in her voice. "Because that's disgusting, you don't eat boogas. Yuk!" Sophie then innocently asked "Are boogas junk food?" I could do nothing but laugh :)
This morning, I wanted make pikelets for morning tea and excitedly informed the kids that we would be having a special treat and having some pikelets with jam and cream. Elliott was chuffed but Sophie whinged "Ahhh, I don't want pikelets, I don't like pikelets today, I want pancakes". Good grief. "Ok Sophie, just for you, I will make pancakes instead". "Yay, pancakes! I love pancakes. Can I have mine with jam and cream please?" I proceeded to make pikelets, called them pancakes as I put them on her plate and all was right with the world. Kids!
Finally, after I finished decorating my cake and showed it off to Sophie, her response was priceless..."Oh Mum, that's just fabulous. Its so beautiful...and stunning too. I am so proud of you, you did a great job darling". Then she proceeded to hug me and give me sweet little kisses confirming how happy she was about my creativity...she is 4 going on 40!!!
Have a beautiful day everyone and an even better weekend. Next week is my birthday so I imagine my blog will have quite a reflective tone to it as I ponder how I have spent the last 28 years and plan on how I would like to spend the next 28....well maybe the next 12 months at least :)
