Having some kids round was agreed during the week, and being fools neither Paul nor I thought about food!
So after fighting the kids into the bathroom, not too bad for the girls, especially as the older one knows she can only have a spray of my perfumes if she’s clean, but the boy… WELL… I ended up pinning him down and washing behind his ears, with the threat that I’ll wash him myself tomorrow if he doesn’t wash properly 🤣😂🤣😂 I’m a nice aunty really 😉
Then we went out for breakfast and got shopping for picnic and spag bol today, pizza tomorrow.
I was as sensible as I could be, beans on toast.
I’m going to confess now to a few things, 6 Pringles, 1 Dorito, ice cream. That’s it. Oh no, small choc cake. Oh dear, should have weighed in today!
I then prepped sarnies, fruits, salads, squash, and packed some Pringles and little choc rolls. And off we went!
We went to a great local zoo that has a petting zoo along with animals in paddocks, a great indoor soft play area, huge bouncy tractor (only saw bouncy castles in my day) and lots of out door fun things like go karts, climbing frames, swings and slides.
The kids were great!
After a fun few hours we came home and I started on spag bol with wholewheat spaghetti and 5% fat mince.
Now, luckily the kids had been too busy having fun to play with the outside toys when we were out, so wanted to play when we got back, which meant Paul could get them out from under my feet as I started prep that included hiding veggies the kids swear they hate… onions, mushrooms and peppers!
As far as the kids are concerned, I’ve no idea what the stuff is as it came out of a jar, but cos I’m a nice aunty I checked there’s no mushrooms and onions in the sauce 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Guess what… all three kids loved dinner, and two of them had seconds!
And then we finished with fruit and ice cream…oops!
So now it’s 7.45pm, the kids are watching Paddington bear, then bed for the youngest and a couple of card games with the older two before bed for us all.
I didn’t get a chance to exercise, or weigh in. I’m DREADING the scales tomorrow, even though I wasn’t hugely off track today.
So that’s my day…. Oh, I forgot, I lost my phone earlier, and the first thing I panicked about was not being able to get on to WordPress… definitely addicted 🤣 luckily someone had handed my phone in, thank goodness for honest people. Can’t wait to sit down (probably tomorrow pm now) and read through the posts of those I follow… getting withdrawal symptoms…. seriously!
Teddy bye
Trying to lose!
