Earlier in the week Justin asked me if I could arrange for my mum to mind the kids for a few hours on Sunday morning so he could take me somewhere – a surprise!!
So I sorted it out with mum and waited for the surprise. Would it be brunch at the Hyatt or a shopping spree at Harvey Norman for Plasma TV or something romantic like a picnic by the lake????
Noooooooooooooooo – it was a bikeride around the lake. One and half gruelling hours, pedalling into the wind, huffing & puffing and swallowing bugs. It was tough, but I did it, and then we road into the city and stopped at our favouite place, Cafe Essen, for breakfast and a coffee. In all honesty it was great 😉 and I feel so much better for the excerise. After the weeding yesterday my butt is super sore and my thighs feel like steel, but it was worth it and I loved spending time with my husband.
After that we picked up the kids and took them swimming. We are the super family!!!
Needless to say, I have just woken up from a nap cause I was soooo tired. Might do a bit of scrapbooking now.
CYA tomorrow 😉
Ok when you said that your Mum was minding the kids today that was not what I thought you would end up doing! Champagne and strawberries – sure, bugs and sweat ah no.
So glad you guys got to spend some ‘quiet’ time with no distractions.
After your triathalon I am sure you will have no probs sleeping tonight, despite the nap!
LMAO – but well done on the bike ride!
To be honest – I think I would really like doing something active like that with my DH!
And Cafe Essen to finish – now you’re talking!
(Though champagne, roses and a snog would have been in order too!).
Hope you aren’t to tired to scrap lots!
LOL.. I so wasnt expecting you to say a bike ride!! 🙂 That sounds like a wonderful day, bugs and all!
You guys definately are a super family!! 🙂
