Happy Birthday Honey

Well..... it has been a while since I last posted here..... it seems like the last two weeks have been one thing after another, and I needed to just do the essentials.

It's my husband's birthday today..... although it has been celebrated since friday night when I took him out to see the new Bond movie, yesterday afternoon tea with a few family and friends, and tonight just the four of us at home together for tea.

We have been together for 10 years now, and it constantly amazes me that it has been so long..... it feels like yesterday that we were in the same maths class at uni (where we met), and even stranger that we now have school age children, and have been living in our own home for three and a half years...... did I blink and miss something?

I don't think anyone else could have put up with me for that long, least of all still be supportive and loving, because goodness knows I am not the easiest person to live with.....

So before I spill the beans about tonight's surprise (because hubby is my most loyal reader) I'd better go and bake a cake and some bikkies to drop into his work for afternoon tea.

Busy weekend

We went to visit my inlaws' this weekend...... my husband took the pic of 'the sunbonnet and grandad'. Both children had a ball racing about in the paddoc with the cows, and doing all sorts of different things like riding tractors and playing golf on the lawn.

I have about a million and one things to do......

• loads and loads of washing
• finish curtain for little boy's room (that I started last night)
• unpack and put away
• tidy house (messy from last minute packing job friday)
• plant rest of tomatoes and pull out broccoli, caulis and garlic before it flowers
• hill up potatoes and plant corn, pumpkins and melons
• baking (bread and banana cake to use the bananas that didn't get eaten because we were away)
• make marmalade (oranges have been sitting around for far too long, don't want them to go green and squishy)
• I'm sure I promised my hubby home made icecream (although I think it's just as much for me as for him)
  
• um...... more washing?

Even with all those things to do (and probably more that I have forgotten about) it's still nice to be home...... there's nothing like flopping on your own couch and doing nothing after four hours' driving yesterday, and a weekend of visiting.
