So how's your weekend been? Ours was full, but good, although at first I did not think so this morning and last nigh, thinking back actually makes me realize it was a good one.
- Friday night saw me and the hubby out to dinner on our own at our old favorite Tutti Pasta. The food was great - truly the pesto linguine is to dream of. We had such a great evening, talking, having good wine, eating nice food. Lovely stuff
- Saturday was mostly filled with H doing chores for the house and me minding the kidlets. The Princess had a friend over and they played so nicely together but the weather being rainy caused a few tiffs between the girls and particularly Mr C.
- I also baked the kids pancakes (crepes to the US girls) - first time ever I struggled with my dough and the kept breaking. After wasting half the batch of dough I realized what was wrong and at least everybody had a tummy full of pancake yummyness.
- I went for coffee in the late afternoon with my friend/cousin A - we just sat at a street cafe, chatted and watched the people and cars go by. And had very delicious lemon meringue pie.
- Saturday night was spent quietly at home watching the rugby. The boys fell asleep in our arms - L in mine and C in Hunter's - it was so special. Does not happen much any more.
- After church on Sunday we went to visit Hunter's step gran and his uncle that she is visiting with. Family I have not met yet. It was a delightful afternoon with a great very traditional Sunday lunch. The kids got to meet and play with a "new" cousin that's just 2 years older than the Princess.
- I was dog tired last night and slept like a log.
- The silkworms are huge and eating us out of our house and mulberry tree. I was so happy to discover a few spinning yesterday morning.
- Over the weekend I did manage to finish "Me and my sisters" by Sinead Moriarty. A good read - well worth the effort. I really enjoyed it. I have a whole post in my head about discipline and tired moms but am wondering if any of you apart from Marcia have read the book or am planning to?
What a great, peaceful weekend you all had. Yes, those silk worms do eat a lot. My son luckily don't bring them home anymore - yay!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, and that I always end up buying whatever you just finished reading. :)
ReplyDeleteYou make my heart so happy today! SO read the book so that we can have a chat about it.
DeleteThe couple time...the kid time...the family time...the friend time...AND the time for you, reading and sleeping well...that all sounds fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteEach activity flowing to the next with no stress. Thats what the weekend is all about.
ReplyDeleteSaw the book and wondered - is it any good?
ReplyDeleteWe've just acquired silk worms and we are having great fun, it takes me back to my childhood!
We also had a lovely weekend.
xx
Shane would like that book too :)
ReplyDeleteI've now read 3, have to read something for a review this week and then this weekend I'm climbing into another Irish one - either hers or Sheila O'Flanagan (bought two of her books about 3 weeks ago)
hmm, that book looks good, think I may have to give it a go. Glad you had a good weekend, I have to admit to have a thoroughly awesome Sunday! Saturday left a little to be desired but otherwise not bad at all:-) Friends family sunshine and food:-)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read it yet, what's it about? Sounds like a really cool weekend. What was the problem with the pancakes?
ReplyDeleteA typical sort of family drama. And too much egg- the eggs were jumbos.
DeleteA lovely weekend all in all.
ReplyDeleteWe came back from Plett, celebrated Kobus jnr's 33rd birthday, and Sunday was a chilled day of doing absolutely nothing.
