Brrrrrrrr it was C.O.L.D. in Wellington this weekend and we had the ole woodburner cranked up ALL weekend.
Saturday was Reece's soccer at 10am and even at that time it was still like ice outside, so we FROZE down at the park for an hour or so. He managed 2 goals this week and they also got their uniforms (finally) with 3 weeks to go.
Went home and the big boy went to golf so me and the kids and their friends 'put another log on the fire' and watched a couple of DVD's and coloured in. We had taken 1 of the boys from Reece's soccer team and his brother home with us which I thought was a really dumb idea at first (4 very active boys) but it turned out great because they all entertained each other. They got to go outdoors about 2pm but were only out there an hour and came back inside because it was too cold.
Me being the good little mother, I thought I would make them chocolate crackles so they could have them while they watched a DVD but only 1 (Adam my little vacuum cleaner) of them liked them????? Since when don't kids like chocolate crackles???
I palmed them off to their mother (who has 2 older girls) when she came for a coffee and to pick the kids up.
Saturday night was VERY quiet and hubby and I were in bed by 9.30pm (yep - party animals we're NOT) and Sunday consisted of us visiting some friends who have just had their 2nd daughter but only stayed an hour because they looked like death warmed up (oh the joys of a newborn) and Andrew headed to golf again (god he's got a good life) and me baking (banana cake) and ironing, cleaning the house and cooking dinner (indian marinaded chicken pieces with herbed potato's and a vegetable pie...yum).
So all in all B O R I N G but at least I got to build the kids a MASSIVE cubby house in their room (with the help of their bunks) which they have been harping me about doing and spending heaps of time with them just playing (somehow I never get enough quality time with them).
Food and water has been average at best over the weekend and re-reading my post its no wonder as all I have spoken about is food.....LOL
My 'exercise everyday' challenge went totally out the window and I managed to not do anything on Thursday, Friday and Sunday.
Back on track today.

Isn't playing with kids exercise!! Was last time I did it... now let me think, when was that? You are right about the weather, it's friggin freezing here too! HATE WINTER, HATE HATE HATE it. Might just go have a suana to warm up!
Ahhhh what a good mummy you are!! If it was me I would have shown them the toy box and said "go to it" shutting the door behind them!! heheh
I'm not sure about having four kids in my house at one time, but I often think it would great for Evianah to have a playmate which I guess is a huge disadvantage to being an only child.
I tend to end up being her playmate, last week it was hide n seek around the garden, so I was kind of glad it was really cold this weekend as it was a great excuse to stay inside and blob. lol
I too never spend as much time as I would like with the kids, esp the older two.
It was negative 2 degrees here this morning. WTF!!
Ahh the sun was shining today in Canada - mmm ;)
Glad to hear that you had a good weekend though! :)
I always use to make huts as a kid, and encouraged my boys too. They use to put blankets over their bunks and cover it in too and have afternoon tea inside. For some reason they always were an awful lot quieter too. It's all about fun and they loved it. Look forward to catching up on the 4th
They are the times kids always will remember!
Brrr - I'm a bit of a summer person, not into this weather at all!
Glad to see you had some fun on a rather cold and horrible weekend.
