Family time!

Hello, I hope you have all had a good weekend and have enjoyed the snow. I have had the nicest weekend, we havent done anything particularly exciting but its been lovely spending quality time with the kids and Mr M. Yesterday me and Miss E took a brisk walk to the shop to blow the cobwebs away, bbbrrrrrrrr  it was cold, and buy some hot cross buns, or special buns as Miss E calls them, for us to have for our lunch. They didnt have any hot cross buns but Miss E agreed that teacakes would make a good alternative. Once we had had our toasted teacakes Little L went down for a sleep and Mr M, me and Miss E all snuggled on the sofa to watch Toy Story, theres nothing nicer than snuggling with my babies.

Later on Miss E and i made a cake, Sugar and spice cake and it was delicious even if i do say so myself. The recipe came from the Usborne Children's book of baking cakes, my nan brought Miss E this book for christmas and its the first chance we've had to make anything out of it. Miss E wore her chefs hat and apron that my mum got her for christmas and she looked adorable.

We didnt have to worry what we were going to cook for tea all day, we usually forget to get anything out at the weekends and then it gets to tea time and its like oops what are we going to have? Does anyone else do this or is it just me that really isnt very organised? Anyway on friday i made a chilli in the slow cooker ( the best invention in the world) and we had that with jacket potatoes nom nom nom.

This is what we woke up to this morning. Miss E was so excited, it had just started to snow when she went to bed last night and i had told her that if it snowed enough we would make a snowman in the morning. So the first things she said to me this morning is "can we make a snowman mummy?" that child is like an elephant, she never forgets! So at 9 o clock this morning we were all wrapped up and out in the garden. Little L didnt like it so Mr M tok him inside while me and Miss E made a snowman and then had a snowball fight

Im afraid im not a very good Mummy and i wasnt prepared for the snow (we didnt have any carrots in) so we improvised and used pegs for his eyes, nose, mouth and buttoms.

Just recently i have been watching my children playing with absolute amazement, i find it astounding that this time last year Little L was completely and utterly dependant on me and just a short 12 months later (hes 13 months now) he's running around with his own cheeky little character with a whole aray of funny faces and the appetite of a horse! And Miss E this time last year she was only really just beginning to talk (shes 3 now) and now shes doesnt stop talking and most definately knows her own mind. The amount of time that they are babies really is a very short time indeed and now i am a mum myself i can completely understand why some women go on to have a lot of children.


Theres not been much time for crafting this weekend but i did manage to get a couple of lipbalm holders made up to go on my Facebook page.

To a lot of people this weekend would have been incredibly boring, other than to nip to the shop we havent even left the house but to me it has been a perfect weekend and i wouldnt change this quality family time for the world!
