afternoon thoughts

I'm planning on making some cup cakes for the kids to decorate at various intervals. Also, for them to decorate at the Boy's birthday. They had a blast decorating little bits of cake at Gr'mpa's during our stay there, so I thought "Why Not?"

Now it's debating chocolate or vanilla, what kinds of candy to put on them, and how many. And do we do flavoured icing? It'll be fun.

The Girl seems to be in a bit better spirits right now, though. Seems to be a bit more her normal self. The boys are playing nicely, too. (Which makes me wonder when the poo is going to hit the fan...) But life appears to be more or less back to normal. There is a mess in the living room (where I finished vacuuming ten minutes ago), the floor is washed (even if there are currently more goldfish on it than in most ponds), and laundry is done (done yesterday thanks largely to Hubby).

Hubby is back to work today, haven't seen him since about nine this morning, although we've texted a bit. The two weeks without his crackberry were good, but it's nice to feel connected to him when he isn't here.

I think we may eat supper on the deck this evening. It's been pretty cool here these last two days, but it's warmed up a bit. The boys were asking for the splash pool, but that breeze is a bit chilly still. I don't need sick kids right now.
