Didn’t get around to doing any sewing today, but we did make some more easter chicks. Dd learnt a valuable lesson – mummy is not infallible! Carefully measured the required length of yellow paper to cover the rolls, cut it, cut out all the shapes required and left her to it – only to find that the second roll was fatter than the first and therefore the cut paper didn’t reach round! Oops…she was not impressed with me.
Also managed to get two loads of washing done (although one is still in the washer, not so good 🙁 ), yesterdays washing put away and sorted out all the kids clothing drawers, which has been needed for ages!, and took the children out to do the shopping with me. I always feel particularly virtuous if I go to a supermarket with them both, even though it is such an ordinary thing to do. Ds just sits either in his sling, or buggy or trolley but dd gets a touch hyper to say the least. Still, it’s good exercise for us all 😉
Then we had friends round for tea – and what’s more, I cooked. Well, OK, that’s not quite true. Dp fried the veg and set the pasta going, I started the roux sauce and he finished it off. So it was about 90% dp and 10% me – can I claim it’s the thought that counts? bonus is that all the children (two smalls, two biggers) and three of the adults ate the bake and enjoyed it, so it would appear to be a meal that we can repeat at some point.
Plans for the weekend? not yet. Gotta clear off to bed – for first time in ages, ds went to bed at a reasonable time (maybe it’s his newfound crawling ability that’s tiring him out? He started yesterday when out at dd’s friends house – can’t believe I forgot to blog it!) hoping I might get some reasonable sleep myself.
