Life has been busy. #1 child turns 7 on Tuesday. Blimey, time has flown.
Yesterday was fairly stressful, as I'd been awake since 4:00am due to the weather and a poorly hubby. I didn't go to bed until 12:30. Ended up getting up at about 5:30 to try and get ahead of the day.
Family were due to arrive at 11:30 so massive tidying needed doing, the shopping needed doing, food needed preparing, and the cupcakes for Sam's party (later on Saturday) needed picking up.
I managed to get to the shops for 7 in the morning, and ticked that box. Frantic 'headless Chicken' running around managed to at least get the house presentable, and a poorly hubby managed to drive us to pick up the cakes, which then needed to be topped off with a Moshi Monster pushed into the lovely vanilla buttercream icing, put into a cellophane bag and put into the party bags. With that done, the family arrived.
*reading through - I'm not being grateful, so am going to take a different tack for the rest of this post*
I have wonderful family, who are all so individual, but I love all of them so much. Am very lucky to have such a wonderful network. My parents and immediate family created me, my husband and his family welcomed me so warmly, and my children are loving and wonderful.
My son chose good friends for his party, and had a whale of a time. The party went well, and he got amazing presents, with the favourite being the Moshi Monsters gold collection.
Sunday was more relaxed, but we did manage a bike ride for the kids in some brief sunshine - Edie chortled as she was allowed to ride through muddy puddles for the first time.
One week left of school and nursery, and then it's a wet and rainy summer holiday to look forward too!! I'm going to be pushing my creativity I think!!!
