Now that N is back home you'd think life would have got slightly less hectic, wouldn't you? But then you add in a language course and... you get my drift.
It has been a relief having him home though. The boys are over the moon. C started to crawl properly (knees) within a day of N being home but reverts to commando style when he wants to get somewhere fast! And we celebrated our first "total potty success" (a.k.a. "accident-free") day for J last week too. He's also been telling us when he needs to go (hooray!) and yesterday even took himself off and sat up there without any prompting from us (I just happened to wonder where he was when I hadn't heard him for a couple of minutes).
N also returned with lots of gifts (from family and friends) so they boys have been playing with new toys, reading new 'favourite' books, J wearing his new aprons (sometimes one at a time) and I have been revelling in an influx of magazines. Here is my stack at present: Dish, Martha Stewart Living, Family Fun, NZ Healthy Food (which came with a slow cooker recipe section - next on my list of things to try to keep the oven off!), Dallas Child, and our church magazine, The Angelus.
We had some of N's language buddies with families over for lunch on Sunday so we made pizza and tried out this recipe from MSLiving. It was yummy. We'll be making it again. Of course, we adapted the recipe slightly (frozen corn, grated mozzarella, spread on unbaked homemade crust).
And I got the good news yesterday that our friends' wedding in NZ today will be streamed live, so we get to 'join' them after all. Yay!
