A Piece Of Cake

It’s been a funny old week…
We started off on Monday with a sick little Bean – temperature, “icky” tummy, headache. By Wednesday we had two… it’s been an easy week as school goes – neither one has been able to do anything while they’ve been sick. They didn’t even want to watch TV! They’re not sick often – they don’t tend to pick up viruses that much. They seem to have made up for it this time…
While I’ve checked on coughing, shivering beans from time to time throughout the week, I’ve also been able to spend a lot of time reading textbooks, as well as novels, with my coffee at my side.

And, on occasion, a mango Tim Tam.
I also indulged myself with some Choc-chip ice-cream…

Little Bean decided to buy some plain vanilla ice-cream for himself and his brother, so I got some, too 🙂 I know… not the healthiest of treats… good for the boys this week, though – helped them feel a bit cooler, and good with scratchy throats. Thankfully, they have had some proper food as well, in the last couple of days.
(I always seem to be posting pictures of food. Not sorry…)

Where does the piece of cake come in? It was Hubby’s birthday today. A quiet day, mostly. The boys had recovered enough to do some breakfast in bed for him 🙂 I took him out for a piece of cake (Maple fruit cake) and a cup of tea. I forgot to bring a candle to put on the cake, for which he was very relieved!

Brought the decorative snapdragons back, to show the boys how they “snap”.
And then – we had a restful day. No stressing about unfinished work today. Reading. Even a little snooze.
Roll on the weekend!
