So it's been an interesting week, no really, lets see I babysat for a friend on Friday so I had three kids and a husband that didn't get home till 8 pm. Then Saturday we do our usual chores and my poor hubby has to work a full swing shift (have I mentioned I hate the swing shift?) even a half swing puts him home to late to help put the kids to bed or he has to leave too early, either way yuck! That brings us up to Sunday where we had the TVMOTC summer picnic, which was fab, James got to be in the pool for the first time with the girls although the pool was a tiny bit COLD, yes it really is August. Food was provided and drinks so all in all a great day out for $10 for the whole family and well worth it. Oh and there was the bouncy castle (my girls love those), and em balls to play with (not my husband's) and a nice day out for the whole family.
Then we had Monday, first I nuke oatmeal with no water (oops), then I get a phone call from James, someone called out sick on swing and he's going to have to cover the first half (did I mention I hate swing?) then I bake a cake which overflowed the pan, talk about not having fun. However, I made a phone call and ended up spending the rest of the morning / afternoon with my girlfriends and the kids in the pool oh yeah baby, I left there in a far better mood than I started, left there ran home picked up the cake (it was edible just not that pretty), and went to Debbie's. At this point I want to mention I have the most amazing friends, they pick me up when I'm down and keep me company and from going insane, then I have others who cut my hair for me. I get to Debbie's we run to the salon get color in my hair, run back have dinner which Matt was cooking, Debbie prepared, and we ate, at which point I jump in the shower to rinse out the color. At this point James arrives and gets fed he then takes the children home who by this time are rather grumpy as their only nap was the half hour in the car from Claire's to Debbie's. James then gets them in the bath and to bed while Debbie cuts my hair in the front garden hehe.
Now that brings us to Tuesday, where I spend time in the mornings with another local Mum with twin boys. Not a bad morning and we were able to sit out in the garden. Tuesday night James cooks these lovely club burger sliders with avocado ranch dressing, I have to say the ranch dressing is amazing and worth making extra for dipping, the girls also enjoyed the dinner and we had left over cake for dessert. That brings us to tonight, I pulled out a few stops for this one, we had deviled chicken and grilled stone fruit, using plums as our fruit, oh amazing and wonderful and much love for this one. I paired the meal with the grilled potato salad, and grilled brussels sprouts, worth the extra time it took to make this meal. Oh and I also did a trip to the park we managed about 40 minutes there till after 2 runaway attempts I packed up the girls into the car and took them to Fosters for an ice cream. Not a bad week.
