We went camping on the weekend, which was LOADS of fun, but it means we don't have the 'normal' weekend to tidy up the house, relax, catch up on laundry etc!
Then Monday was spent doing birthday preparations for Kathryn, and then Adam informed me at about 2pm that we were having a barbeque with his parents & brother & sister at about 6pm for dinner, which was lots of fun, but it meant I had even less time to do birthday prep! Was up until 1am doing presents, preparing food, making the cake, tidying up. Tuesday morning we gave Kathryn her presents and then I spent the rest of the morning party-prepping and house-tidying (when I wasn't procrastinating on here that is) then playgroup ended half an hour early on Tuesday as there was a funeral in the afternoon and the playgroup uses the church hall so they had to get out by 12.15... picked Alexander up and home again just before guests started arriving... the party went from 12.45ish until about 2.30pm... one of the party guests stayed until about 3ish to catch up with me and let her daughter play with Alexander a bit more, then at 3.30, rather than clean up the party mess I walked down the street for something for dinner, ended up getting home at 5 just before Adam had a lazy dinner and Adam thankfully tidied up some of the party mess and did the dishes while I put the kids to bed. Sat half-zombied on the computer for a few hours then went to bed.
This morning I had toddler group but since it was a sunny day I walked ALexander to playgroup then down the hill for toddler group, then back up the hill after toddlers to pick him up at 12.40 then back down :lol: to go to the co-op to get fruit to make a fruit salad for a bbq that Adam informed me this morning we'd be going to at a friend of his' house (we are NEVER sociable, I think I'm on people over-load!) to see friends visiting from Australia! So anyway, got the fruit for the fruit salad and then walked back UP the hill (pushing Kathryn all this time although I made Adam push her up the last time as he was finished work!)
Helped Alexander build a lego digger this afternoon and then did some laundry, tidied the kitchen and spent about an HOUR making the fruit salad with Alexander's help. :)
Went to the bbq at 6.30, socialized awkwardly with people I hardly know (although the visiting friends from Australia had a 6 month old baby girl with them so I got lots of cute baby cuddles and snuggles!) and excused myself at 8.30 with two sleepy children, leaving Adam to walk home when he's done!
Put the kids to bed without a bath and really should be enjoying my solo evening at home (they dont' happen often!) but I'm just SO sleepy. Tried to make a siggy but I'm just so tired I have no creativity in me! Think I might need an early night!
My house is a complete tip.... I just haven't had a chance to do ANYTHING it seems. Tomorrow morning I have Kathryn's jabs at noon, might be visiting a friend before that (more socializing!) then I've promised to go visit the aforementioned friend that showed up at Kathryn's party if the weather is still nice to let the kids play in the paddling pool! :P Can't be bothered at all but it's only cos I'm lazy and exhausted :lol: and they live about 30-40 minutes drive away... which seems a lot, but in island terms it's not too bad. I know we'll all have a lovely time anyway if we do go! :lol: And she is going away on Saturday as she is pregnant and due later this month so is going to stay in Edinburgh with her mum 'til baby is born. So anyway, weather permitting I'll be doing that tomorrow afternoon.
Then I have choir tomorrow evening (in Salen, which is 20 minutes away!) then on Friday I have to take both kids to Oban (half hour drive then 45 minute ferry!) to go view Kathryn's photographs... and while I'm over there I did think I might take the kids swimming in the Oban pool... something to do that isn't shopping!
THEN on Saturday I have to go BACK to Oban ::) with Choir for the Oban Mod, which means I will be away all day again from noonish until about 7.30pm!!! :o
I think I might sleep all day Sunday!
