It's the weekend. Which means - hard work! Lots of noise!
It's a very family weekend this weekend. Today I took my mom to the garden center to get some plants for her garden. She bought some daffodils. I bough a random plant. Someday I will think about how to have a pretty garden, but for now I like buying cheap plants, sticking them in the ground, and seeing what happens.
After the garden center we took the kids to the aquarium! And by "aquarium" I mean fish shop. Cardiff doesn't have an aquarium, but the fish shop is basically the same right?
Heres two kids looking at some fish.And then it will be Monday! The hard day! I will be using sticker book bribery on Monday, which she will get for her amazing potty training, but also because I need her to have something to do on Monday.
Here's wishing you a happy weekend and a happy Mothering Sunday!
Happy Mother's Day! The good thing for you is that you get to have two of them, right? Hopefully the answer is yes, and you can also have cake again in May and even take another bike ride. Isn't that funny how expectations work? It is so easy to be disappointed when your expectations are high, but just lower them and you are good to go! :)
ReplyDeleteToday I will be getting out for a (hopefully dry) trail run in the morning and then spending the day with Broski in the afternoon. I have a lot to do, but I dubbed today a (mostly) day off from all of the things.
My MIL used to take the grandkids to the pet store as an outing. It's basically the same thing as a petting zoo!
ReplyDeleteStick plants in the ground and see what happens is my default gardening strategy. It's sink or swim out there. So far, rosemary and lavendar seem to be most adaptable to the lack of attention. Happy Mother's Day! You are the most mother I know at the moment. And you're awesome. -Rachel
ReplyDeleteHahaha I do often say "wow this is a lot of kids" but I've never translated that into "wow I'm a lot of mom" but I guess that fits!
DeleteWriting you from a Tuesday morning. Have just finished tidying house. Babies sleeping, I'm working on blog, dishwasher and washing machine going. What wonderful Tuesday... I almost forget Tuesday ever meant anything else to us... :-)
Hahaha, no kidding. What a different lifetime.
