I often here the phrase 'In my day' or the phrase 'why, when we were your age' and these are usually expressions used when referring to the amount of hard work done by our Mothers/Grandmothers generations. They remind us that they never had modern technology to 'do the work for them' but on reflection I have come to the conclusion that the modern Mother has the same if not(dare I say it) more work to do. Granted they did not have the revolutionary aids which we today take for granted but they didn't have school projects!!! You know what I mean when you plan your evening, a home cooked meal, some baking, reading and playing and your children with smiles on their innocent little faces inform you that they need the Taj Mahal, Mona Lisa or maybe even the town they live in brought to life with the materials you own in the small craft box at the end of their bed! Well todays gem was the obligatory Easter bonnet and an Easter garden! Well thankfully we do have freezers so I could grab something I had frozen last week to heat whilst I frantically try to 'help' create something decent whilst my baby cries and my older boys between cutting paper and smearing glue all over themselves chase the cat with a random piece of ribbon they have discovered! It was exhausting but I hope you will agree well worth the mess and hassle...
Easter Bonnet still wet, fresh, gloopy glue in view hehe...
BAAAAAAA...
Easter garden??? I mean what does a garden look like at Easter??? I wanted Daffs but J was too lazy to make them...
Drying out getting ready to take to school in the morrow.
So that was my afternoon and early evening taken care of and I must say it really did wear me out what with dinner and baby to deal with as well but we had fun and that is most definitely the main thing and I don't take advantage of any moments I can spend having fun with my fellas. So after such an eventful time I needed some me time and with kids in bed and all the dutiful housewife duties complete it is time to take out the yarn and have some hooky fun...
Yes that is right I am embarking on some ripply fun YAY! And it is courtesy of Lucy at Attic24. So I am going to continue to snuggle into my fluffiest blanket with a cuppa and my hook and yarn :) Night friends x
