The Krafty Mommy

The day of love, they say is Valentines To show your love, for the love of your life But how do I express, the lifetime of love In all but one day, when it is in fact in every single day Flowers and presents, lavish dinners and frills Is not what proves our love for each other It is the tiny little things of everyday That say how you love me and me you Love is felt and is not shown By the way you look at me The way you play the balancing act And let me be completely me Love is in our cheesy fights, of screaming and making up When you say no more and just come up with a warm hug Its in the duties that you take upon yourself Like feeding the dog, or the kids and I Mowing the lawns or putting the bins out Packing the school lunches and even fixing mine For not waking me up and letting me snooze When I am tired and doze off during the day For understanding my needs, today and always I love you today and I love you everyday For being my pillar of support Wheth...

Coming back to the "Stay-at-home" date me n hubby enjoyed a few weeks ago....now that we both feel the need to repeat it..LOL..I'll just share the experience and that hopefully should make me feel halfway better !! :) So the day was to start with a doctors appointment ! Because hubby was in pain and all that. But since we got the appointment for an hour later, we thought why not goto a local Cafe and have a Big Brekkie....no not the Chholle Bhature from India...the Aussie big brekkie! So we took his parents with us to a local cafe and had a lovely, long and BIG brekkie! And without having to feel the kiddo's. Without worrying about the cutlery being thrown all around. Without gulping down food so we can quickly get over with it and get out! It was relaxing and fun! We obviously got late for the doctors appointment !! LOL....but got through it...then my parents in law went over to brother-in-law's place....and we went for the medicines and all..and when ...

This is for the mum's and dad's who are giving their all to their kids....all the love, affection and pampering...this is a note to say....just once in a while...have all that reserved just for your partner ! Just once! A few weeks ago, my hubby darling injured himself at cricket ..and then the princess happened to jump on the injured Toe !!! OUCH ! yes it hurt....and the trips to the doctor and getting it dressed and all that later...he had to take a few days off so he could rest ...as walking was hurting... So one of those days off I decided to take a day off to be with him and send the kiddos off to childcare (which is his daily responsibility)... So we ended up alone at home...just the two of us ! Well the thing is after you have kids...you don't really get to spend that crazy(or quiet) time with each other ...like you used to before you got married or even after...but before kids....its not a negative....its fun to be with the kiddos and everyday is a new adve...

Weekend is a time to finish of the household chores for me...but also the time when we can relax a bit and indulge the kiddos...so a quick and simple stamp painting was all that Anya needed..n a simple empty toilet roll tube and a few paints..what we needed... And she enjoyed stamping away all afternoon...and even learning a bit about colors....that yellow and red make up orange... We even managed to create a bubble heart :) yayy...fun unlimited...stamp stamp stamping!
