Today we celebrated Father's day. It was a pretty low key day with us coming together for present opening & a cooked breakfast ( thanks JM )& then all went about doing our own thing for the rest of the day.
The rain has been falling all day, what a wonderful sound it is to hear the rain fall. How lovely it is to be curled up on the lounge under a beautifull soft blanket & read a book & then, without realising it, fall asleep for a good hour long nap!
We don't often have a day where we are all together, chilling out, taking it easy & enjoying the moment. We all enjoyed today...all coming together again at the dinner table for a yummy dinner that MM cooked for us. Nothing like a man who cooks for his family on Fathers day....bonza!!!
It was a nice way to end a busy but good week!
Highlights of my week...
~ Appreciating my 'down time' while JM & RM were at school & BB sound asleep. It's a fabulous, quiet, tranquil time of day.
~ Going early to pick up JM from Karate & just watching for a while without him knowing I was there. He is so skilled & has me feeling immense amounts of pride.
~ Talking to RM's teacher & being told how well he is doing focusing in the classroom. Interacting with the other children & being involved in classroom discussions. My heart just about bursts when I get this type of news.
~ Being woken up with a nice hot fresh cup of tea from MM AFTER he has already given BB his bottle, changed his nappy & is getting our big school boys ready for school.
~ Breakfast (mmmmm bacon) with my 'Freedom Friday' chickie babes....then window shopping to fill in the time before school pick up! Love days like that!
~ A night at photography school (with my new camera) where I discovered not only is this something that I am REALLY going to love doing...but also that I daydream a hell of a lot when I probably shouldn't (ha ha) & of course missed some of the info! Best part of it is that I can laugh at myself over that one. What a nong!!!
~ Getting in some cuddle time with the newest member of our 'Freedom Friday' girls (baby MJ) & soaking up her pure energy. No resistance. Gotta love that!
~ Discovering BB sleeping as though he was sitting up, then flopped forward when he couldn't stay awake any longer. Even in his sleep he's a crack up.
~ Getting an awesome foot rub from MM after the kiddlywinks were all tucked in their beds asleep. So nice.
These are just some of the stand out moments of my week. I love to think them over again & enjoy the feelings they give me. Tis good to be me!
Happy fathers day MM. xxx
