Turbo charged Tuesday

Let the chaos begin...or perhaps continue is a better way of looking at it. Today is my only day this week with just one child so I have to rush around like a chicken with my head cut off to fit in as much as humanly possible. You see, this weekend is a busy one because it is Hubby's birthday and also I have a wedding cake to do. Thankfully the wedding cake is super simple so it shouldn't be much of a headache at all, just time consuming. As for Hubby's birthday, that is where the business is at. It shall be a whole weekend affair of people dropping in randomly because it is of course the weekend of the Bathurst 1000 V8 Supercar race. Some people get excited about football grand finals or even cricket matches...not in this household. In this household, the world stops when Bathurst V8 car racing is on. I'm not that into it but seeing as hubby has petrol in his veins, it is just simply something that we have to embrace as a family. 

So with our house being headquarters this weekend, I am in full swing with getting it tidied up and also preparing all the food to feed the rev heads. Again, not anything particularly difficult, just remarkably time consuming when you couple it with the usual chores to run this household and looking after the kids. I swear, if they could make a pill that let Mum's run efficiently off no sleep, they would be rich people!! 

Anyway, this is only a short post today because I have to hang out some washing and head to the supermarket before Elliott's nap time (there is no way I am missing that!!) I wanted to share a photo with you this morning of something super cute...  

I was packing the kids lunch boxes this morning and decided I would fill it with a little love. I used an icing cutter and cut their cheese into love heart shapes. I know Elliott wont notice at all but I can't wait to hear what Sophie has to say about it when I pick her up this afternoon. I hope it reminds her that she is loved.

I also made a quiche for dinner a few weeks ago and thought I would make it with love too. So I cut a love heart out of pastry and put it on top. I was feeling so happy with it and really looked forward to sharing it with my family...then Hubby rang and said he would be home late from work, and then when I dished it up to the kids, they both turned their noses up at it and carried on like utter pork chops. Oh well, at least I enjoyed my quiche filled with love!

So I guess the takeaway from today's post is that it is always possible to show your family that you love them and never assume you are too busy to do so xox
