I don't know about you, but when I crave something, I have to have it. It doesn't matter if it's right at that moment, that day, that week or some time that month. As long as I have it. You see you might think to satiisfy a craving a month after the desire for it is not that satisfying but you would be wrong to assume this in the world of Sev. In fact, it intensifies in this time and doesn't leave my mind until it has been fulfilled.
Today I satisfied another craving.Donna Hay hot jam donuts and Granny Smith donuts.
Off the topic sort of, doughnuts (they are made from dough) or donuts??
We made them and we enjoyed them. A little too much.
The kids ended up eating fresh green apples instead after their donuts to get over the sugar hit. Happy Sunday : )
Last weekend we celebrated Shaan's birthday.
I don't normally have big parties for anything but their baby showers or their first birthdays. That is unless there is something else that is worthy of celebrating & I throw a double celebration party.
That wasn't the case this time. And by big I mean inviting all of our friends and family and making an effort to have a theme that flows from decorations to food to take home party bags (I don't call them lolly bags & if you have been a guest at my parties you'll know why).
It started off with my folks saying they were going to come around for a visit so I thought I'd invite my sister - oh, and of course Alex's Dad & brother...oh and my BFF. We never do really get to catch up as often as we'd like so I have to grab any oppurtunity.
Oh and maybe one other friend who I haven't seen in a long time. And God, must invite my neighbour.. she has been a life savour these last few weeks. And a friend I love dearly who over the years is almost my 2nd chance BFF. Hmm...
I found I was faced with that horrible situation of not knowing where to stop. My non-party was turning into a major do. And then Alex started asking if it would be too much to invite this person or that. I found myself saying 'yeah it's just another two people' but then arguing with myself that if I invite them then I should extend my circle and invite another few.
It's very tricky being able to keep these things small without offending anyone but I had to draw the line and kept it at just our four chosen friends - for this event. Our future parties will probably be another mix of people or just everyone again. Not sure which is harder!
Birthday boy had a great time, loved blowing out his candles, loved the attention when being sang to and most of all loved his new boy toys (he's finally got trucks & cars instead of just his sisters strollers to push around)
We love you very much Shaan Jemil, x
