• Waking up slowly.
• Sipping tea and watching Enchanted with the children on the sofa.
• Eating scrambled eggs on buttery toast.
• Resolving to make the most of the dry weather while it lasted.
• Taking a long, hot shower.
• Despairing at the state of my wardrobe.
• Finally pulling on a dress and tights.
• Applying my makeup and coaxing the children into their clothes.
• Loving my MAC lipstick in the shade ‘Plumful’. Such a pretty colour.
• Snapping photos while the children practiced their ball skills in the yarden. Jesse has started going to football on a Thursday evening and he’s loving every second.
• Bundling up against the cold and slowly walking to the park.
• Chasing Izzy through the trees with my camera in hand.
• Watching the children in the playground.
• Relishing the sunshine and blue skies. It was short lived.
• Strolling to the nearby shops to pick up some groceries.
• Heading home for pizzas and a chopped salad.
• Listening to the children chat and play while I tried to concentrate on finishing my Saturday Short.
• Cooking and eating roasted salmon wrapped in Parma ham {a dish loosely based on this recipe}.
• Plunging the children into the bath.
• Listening to them play while I cleared the day’s debris from their bedrooms.
• Enjoying the stillness while Mr. LA read Jesse a bedtime story.
• Giving goodnight kisses.
• Pouring myself a glass of wine.
• Binge watching The Good Wife on Netflix while Izzy stayed up {very} late to finish viewing The Lord of the Rings trilogy with her Dad.
• Eating sweet and salty popcorn and craving chocolate.
• Giving a tearful Izzy a consolatory cuddle before bed. She was clearly very moved by the final movie.
• Feeling incredibly lucky when Jesse slept until after 8am.
• Drinking tea and chatting on the sofa.
• Preparing bacon, egg and toast cups for breakfast. Incredible recipe, I urge you to give it a try next time you have a lazy weekend to fill.
• Pulling on my DIY clothes and adding another two coats of paint to the toy box that just won’t die is taking a lot longer to finish than I anticipated.
• Warming soup and buttering rolls for lunch.
• Seeing Mr. LA and Izzy off as they headed into town for her performing arts class.
• Playing with Lego, baking lemon drizzle, watching Peter Pan and doing puzzles with my little boy.
• Cleaning the stove and catching up on laundry.
• Daydreaming about decor projects and interior design.
• Roasting potatoes, warming pies and mixing up some gravy.
• Chatting with my Godmother on the phone.
• Welcoming Izzy and Mr LA home and sitting down to dinner.
• Bathing the children and tucking Jesse into bed.
• Helping Izzy with her homework.
• Struggling to believe my little girl turns 9 on Friday.
• Looking forward to another evening spent re-watching Lost.
