The Weekend

Wow that weekend went fast. Friday was the Mothers Day gift shop at school so I spent the morning at school busy wrapping the pressis the children had bought. I don't think I've seen the kids so excited to give their presents. Talking of Mothers day can I just say now, I think Mothers day and General Conference should be on the same day every year. I was able to have the most wonderfully relaxing Sunday, surrounded by my family watching conference. I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday.

We're finally getting the downstairs toilet plumbed in on Wednesday so I needed to get it all painted on Saturday. For some reason I thought it would be fun to get Abbs and Aimee to help me! I don't think I've ever seen white look so bright. I have to blink every time I open the door. Thankfully it wont be staying that colour, I need to give it it's top coat later.

I think Abbs was more excited about having painting clothes and a high pony tail than actually painting.

A quick trip to Asda and the shoe shop with Danny for yet another pair of shoes. A very quick tea of Chicken curry and just when I was thinking we were on the home straight and bedtime was in sight I remembered I'd promised Abs I would fix her bed, it's been a little wobbly so she's been sleeping top to tail with Hollie for about 2 weeks. I really couldn't put her off any longer so at 6.45pm on Saturday (15 mins before bedtime) I go to fix her bed. I thought it just needed tightening, at 7pm-bedtime I realized that just tightening the bolts wasn't going to work and for safety's sake the bunk beds had to come down. Chris and I then spend the next 1 1/2 hours rearranging the furniture in their bedroom.

Finally at 9pm we got the kids in bed and nearly asleep. I was shattered but at least I knew I would get a lie in in the morning.

Thanks to Fridays event at School and a very specific list for Chris I did pretty well this year, the new Hummingbird book, a very nice cast iron cassarole pan, perfume, luxury hot choc and massage oil. Being a mum is cool!
