• Waking up with a teeny tiny hangover. Mr. LA and I spent our Friday evening watching episodes of Nurse Jackie and drinking Cosmopolitans.
• Cuddling up to Jesse in bed.
• Dragging myself downstairs.
• Drinking tea and reading Little Women on the sofa.
• Tucking into a delicious veggie cooked breakfast.
• Enjoying a long shower while the children played downstairs.
• Slipping on my new favourite dress.
• Bundling up and braving the cold to walk into town.
• Shopping for books and pretty paper goods.
• Over-indulging in literature.
• Wandering home.
• Warming up with a huge plate of pasta and pesto for lunch.
• Sending a very excited Izzy off on a Brownie trip. A session at the local swimming pool followed by supper at Pizza Hut ensured she was pretty exhausted by the time we collected her at 6pm.
• Reluctantly getting on with some work while Mr.LA entertained Jesse.
• Cooking and eating homemade falafel burgers, fried halloumi and paprika potatoes.
• Reading Jesse a bedtime story. Currently loving Dinosaur Farm and The Journey Home by Frann Preston-Gannon.
• Getting comfy on the sofa ahead of movie night with Izzy.
• Finally watching the concluding film in the Harry Potter series after waiting very patiently for Izzy to finish reading the last book.
• Loving how much Izzy loves the Potter books, the world contained within their pages and the characters that reside their.
• Thinking how wonderful it is that she admires Hermione Granger ‘because she’s smart’.
• Retreating to bed.
• Chatting to Mr. LA before drifting off to sleep.
• Being woken by Jesse climbing into bed with us.
• Loving my husband for letting me sleep in.
• Drinking tea and eating marmite on toast.
• Wishing Sundays didn’t have to involve quite so much laundry.
• Sending Mr. LA to the supermarket for groceries.
• Taking Jesse to a birthday party in his Darth Vader costume.
• Secretly enjoying the fact he was the only child dressed as a bad guy. I love a good villain.
• Helping with pass-the-parcel, stealing party food from Jesse’s plate and singing happy birthday.
• Watching Jesse eagerly unpack the contents of his party bag.
• Eating sandwiches for lunch.
• Poring over the pretty ‘Little Guides’ {Trees and Wild Flowers} I bought for the children. Charlotte Voake’s illustrations are simply beautiful. I can’t wait to take these on a nature hunt in warmer weather.
• Cuddling up on the sofa to watch a movie.
• Listening to the children play as I prepared roast chicken for Sunday dinner.
• Writing to a friend while the potatoes sizzled in their goose fat.
• Making gravy and cooking the Yorkshires.
• Eating too much.
• Bathing the children.
• Watching Izzy as she sprawled herself across the upstairs landing to read The Hobbit.
• Cleaning the bathroom and mopping the kitchen floor.
• Sitting down to blog for the first time in two weeks.
• Looking forward to relaxing with Mr. LA.
• Feeling rested.
