Happy house party

Sometimes you just need a little family fun.

Dave brought home a pack of balloons on the weekend and the kids proceeded to have them all blown up.

We promised if they would wait until Monday, we would blow up the whole packet and have a 'happy house party' that night.

We had party friendly food- chicken nuggets, sausage rolls, watermelon and salad as well as pink milk... all followed by icecream sundaes. Complete with chocolate cracking sauce and sprinkles.

I think suddenly I remembered family should be fun and we must do this again soon!! (Maybe not the sundae bit).

Life's little indulgences

I did it. I went for my first decent walk in a LONG while yesterday...

In the heat of the sun, wondering if I'd get sunburnt, pushing my boys and thoroughly enjoying it.

I always get that exercise optimism, like 'oh I could set my alarm for 6am and go every morning before the kids wake up!!' but I'm sure the optimism would drown with the 6am alarm. Besides I am getting up in the night so I should cut myself some slack ;-)

I'm hoping to go most weekdays. We'll see whether that develops into a new habit.

Alas here are a few pics from my place...

Saturday night picnics and play at the park

vacuum cleaner fun.  It was funnier when Mr A was sucking his lips into the vacuum!

I'd just finished my walk... this is my surprised face.  See the 'glow' hehehe

 

Spontaneous hand holds

 

Strong necks from a boy who has JUST about outgrown NB size!!

 

good fun!
