What a lovely day. We did nothing much, enjoyed some time together as a family, ate lots of party leftovers and just had a really nice day. We had planned a bacon-and-egg breakfast extravaganza but common sense took hold and suggested that perhaps after all the party food yesterday plain old Weetbix and a piece of toast, if you were still hungry, might be a better idea! Offspring #1 was not overly impressed and suggested many alternatives ranging from "just eggs" to "just bacon" and "maybe pancakes?" but we were not to be moved (also, we just couldn't be bothered doing yet more dishes) so Weetbix it was. Hubby loved his presents - a homemade photo frame with a gorgeous pic of the kids made by Offspring #1 with a little help from Mum, some fishing gear that he had written down and somewhat forcefully demanded LOL and an outdoor weather station (fancy name for a thermometer and rain gauge!) that I saw some time ago when I was stuck for ideas. Offspring #1 also had the obligatory kindy present - another photo but this time with hearts glued all over it and the whole thing laminated (damn, why didn't I think of laminating???). Here's a pic of the weather station against our very fancy back fence. Yes, the dirt really is that red!
Hubby spent lots of time playing with the kids and he and Offspring #1 had a mega PlayStation Challenge (#1's phrasing, not mine LOL). We read the papers - a rare luxury these days, ate leftovers, rang Poppy and Grandpa and, after much lolling about, decided to go for a drive and take some photos (a treat to share another day). Add in several loads of washing and that was our day done. One final pic: my family, still in their pj's, after the Grand Present Opening. Offspring #2 loved ripping all the paper up but couldn't work out how to get it off the presents, luckily big brother was right there to lend a hand.
Question of the day: When was the last time you enjoyed a lazy Sunday?
