but a better day

A bit of a journey to the birthday party of a home edded friend (coo-ee!) – carefully checked out the route because of the snow, and then discovered that the road I’d chosen to use is now blocked off – no through access. Curses, foiled again!

But we were only a little late, and all the little pink ppl had a whale (wail? Seems more appropriate) of a time, and the parents are all nice ppl too, so we enjoyed ourselves as well.

Journey back was fine (managed to find a clear route without road closures!), both children slept most of the way. Then fed them, dp fed, and I’m pottering in and out of the kitchen, cooking up broccoli to freeze for ds, trying to chargrill myself some peppers to stuff (how long are they supposed to take?!) and washing up and catching up on blogs. You know. The multi-tasking mom. (How’s that for a blog name for anyone who needs one? 😉 )

Tomorrow we’ve another party, and dp has to go down the country to a family funeral, so may not be much blogging til I’ve got at least one sprog in bed.
