Tonight I made pasta as I often do. I made a tomato sauce to go with it. It had fresh herbs from the garden and was topped of with some feta and roasted pine nuts. What a great meal! It's not often you can eat like a King and feed the whole family for about 60p a head.
So we are still in the middle of a run of full, worthwhile but tiring weekends. There was the very successful Kaleidoscope fun day followed by the very emotional celebration of Naomi's Dads life. Last weekend was Erons birthday party and this weekend is Bens birthday party followed by the 'Big Church Day Out'. After that is Granny and Grandads diamond wedding anniversary.
Ben is having a Transformers birthday party. Not one where you just buy a load of cheap tat from a catalogue but one which involves Naomi making an Optimus Prime cake, a Megatron piñata, transformers party bags and cup cakes, the list goes on. It's been a lot of effort but I can see that she is so keen to make it special. The sort of special that usually involves spending lots of money only that's not an option right now so it's blood. sweat and tears instead! Hopefully it's an investment and whilst they may prefer a day at Lego Land or Chessington right now, in the future they may look back and have some how benefited from the way we try to live. Hmmm deep!
Finally... Eron seems to get more cute the further into his 3rd year he gets whilst Noah is learning some skills with the cup!
