Today was daddy's birthday! :) We had mucho fun. It all started when I sleepily wandered out from my room about 11:45am to find mom having breakfast and dad not surprisingly on the computer.
*Now for the purpose of this story, please keep in mind that mum works at 1pm. Thus having to leave the house no later than 12:35 to get there on time*
Ok, I shall continue. I sat down and started to have my breakfast, when I notice mum start to amble about the kitchen doing a few things. I think nothing of this until she brings out this huge piece of beef and sit it right in front of me. Looking at the clock and seeing its just after 12, I ask her what she's up to. "Making dads beef stew for dinner" she replies cheerfully. Horrified by the complete lack of timing, I decide its in the interest of all to stop my breakfast and help out. So I put myself in charge of veggies and everything else while mum cuts and cooks the beef. Now all this chopping, peeling, cutting, cooking and stuffing it in the slow cooker all happens in the space of about 20 mins! This to any of you who don't cook very much, is a very impressive time to beat!
So then mum heads off to work at 12:35 or so, and I turn around to face a WALL of dirty dishes, frying pans, veggie peelings and anything else you can imagine. Now for length purposes all I will add about the washing was that thankfully dad stayed and talked to me while I cleaned up to make time pass by faster. Thank you daddy! :)
Then the rest of the afternoon passed by fairly uneventfully til Mum got home from work about 5:30 or so. She brought along Nanny and at the sight of her, Mango went completely insane. Crying, whimpering and making the most pitiful of noises. So we get dinner all together and sit down to eat and thankfully everything turn out very tasty indeed. Dad opens up his presents, Nanny got him a book on the White House and a card, I got him a book on George W. Bush called "Bushwhacked" and a card, and mum got him a card as well. Then around 8:30 I took Nanny home that was basically the extent of the day. I took pictures of the said dinner/present openings, once I get them online I'll put up the url to them.
There, that was a decent blog entry yes?
