The weekend

So July rolls along quite sneakily, and the highlight must be that there are 2 birthdays in our family (the brother and the father) plus the husband comes home after being away for work for 2.5 weeks. Hooray!

Just some pics to remember our weekend past, all impromptu activities that make our lives somewhat spontaneous. It's alright not to plan too much sometimes, and just let time roll along.

An impromptu evening at the playground and having dinner picnic style

Followed by a session at the library

The night ended pretty early with the kids going to sleep... and me being greedy and indulging in some wine, and plenty of snacks - burrrp. Set the alarm for pre-sunrise the next morning, to pick the husband up from the airport.

This little boy wanted to wake up to go pick Papa up.
Look at that just-awoken face

The morning rolled along with simple things like breakfast at the market, and the boy and I spent some quality time together just playing his new toy and being together.

Mama, look at me!

Pulling his golf cart 'Mommy, it's like real right?'

The rest of the day was spent just pigging out and being with the family. It doesn't have to be all fanfare always, it doesn't have to be fancy. Being at our 'Sunday best', just being around one another means so much more. It's not always that everyone has the time to get together, but the effort that we put in to try to do so means a lot. I'm so thankful that the siblings are around to help with the children, and to have the parents both healthy to hang with us all...


Little things in life mean the most usually and I have the best family everrrrr.
