Just another date night..

I have been sick in bed all day, my intentions when I went to bed last night was to use my whole day today spending some quality time with the kids, but waking up with cold and flue symptoms at their finest this morning, I soon realized that a special day with my babies just wasn't going to happen.

I went back to bed at around 1pm when Matt returned back from shopping for school pants for Jie in sunshine. Would you believe that in a term and a half Jie has put holes in four pairs of school pants? I know right!!

So as I woke up from my much needed rest the kids had been bathed, had dinner and I walked into Nevaeh's room and found them both listening to Daddy read a book before bed. They squealed with delight and jumped in my lap as I too sat down on the bed. Matt kissed me on my forehead and the kids both copied. It was a little bit of wonderful.

So with the kids books read and them both tucked up in bed, Matt debriefed me on what had been happening. Nevaeh had spewed twice after dinner and had nothing in her stomach. Our poor girl is sick needing a little more TLC tonight than usual.

I decided to cook my amazing husband a special something for all his hard work and effort today.

Chicken & Cashew Nut Stir Fry

We sat down to eat together, just the two of us. It was nice, then out of no where Jie ran in screaming "HELP.. Mum! Dad! the whole house is going to blow up!".. "There is a fire and flames in your room, Nevaeh did it" Matt and I rushed up to find the whole hallway smoked out. We saw that Nevaeh had put tissues on our bedroom lamp and it was smokin' but no flames thank goodness! 

With all things considered we did have a rather eventful night reminding us that there is a reason why date nights are just meant to be spend out..
