Finally we had a day where my husband didn't work. Hooray! He spent the morning organising his business tax as I did the property business tax yesterday and my business tax a few weeks ago. I pretty much made him do it, or politely suggested he do it. So finally I can send everything through to the accountant tomorrow. What a great feeling.
Meanwhile, the 2 boys and I were outside playing in the backyard. It was a really hot day today. Most days I forget that it's still winter. We live in such a perfect place. Brandon, Bailey and myself went up to the supermarket to get a few things for our big family BBQ. Upon our return, the 2 boys and I set up the BBQ and then pulled daddy out of the study. Luckily for him and for us he'd just finished. So, being the vegan I am, I then proceeded to cook up all the meat for my 3 men. My husband swung Bailey on the swing over and over again while Brandon followed me around everywhere. Beautiful boy.
Our BBQ family lunch was just fantastic. I don't know what happened but it just seemed to be magic. Everything just aligned. Everyone gobbled up their delicious food, and then we finished the meal with a cupcake from the supermarket. The boy's played and rode their bikes around and around the outdoor table while my husband and I finished our lunch. Certainly there's no serenity in our household, but a good time was had by all. For the rest of the afternoon we all stayed outside and kept playing.
The evening was wrapped up pretty quickly because we had 2 very tired little boys on our hands. All they wanted was to be cuddled and held and carried. Luckily their mummy and daddy were there to offer open arms to cuddle and hug them. They loved it as did we. Our BBQ adventure was such a success that my husband and I already have our next family BBQ planned. Can't wait.
