Weekend exhaustion

Whoever says weekends are for relaxing and getting re-energised for the week ahead have never spent two days in my house - me and two hyper monkeys, I think they could still be going strong now if I hadn't put them to bed.

There has been a lot of food involved this weekend - I had the girls from school around for tea last night. I made steak sarnies and sides from Jamie's 30 minute meals - and although it took this slow coach longer than 30 minutes it definitely looked like the picture when I'd finished and tasted so good - its going onto my list of favourite meals. The starters and dessert were covered by the girls and I forgot to take a picture of the brilliant anti pasti that was made but I did take a photo of the biggest red velvet cupcake I have ever seen!

Today it was my gorgeous cousin's 40th birthday party - blue monkey requested that we make chocolate cakes to take with us - I was out voted on vanilla cupcakes - far too boring! The food as usual at my families parties was amazing and I ate far too much - I'm sure I keep mentioning the word diet but it doesn't seem to be starting.

Blue monkey wore his new Stone Roses jumper to the party - mummy is trying to ensure his musical tastes are mixed - we were all dancing round the kitchen earlier to Moves Like Jagger and Mumford and Sons!

Back to work tomorrow - I am looking forward to sitting at my desk and being able to enjoy a coffee without a little person pulling at my leg or arm every ten minutes. I love them to bits but phew this weekend has been tiring.
