There are so many after’s I could think of, but the most recent that I photographed was the ‘after’math at the Dessert Parlour Creams on Sunday!

I was dying to try this place out. In fact, there are two new dessert places open locally, so I know I have at least one more sweet treat to go!

Anyway, back to the point. This place was pretty fantastic, the decor was amazing, the menu was huge, and the service was wonderful!

They warned us that there was no such thing as kids size… And though I understand that, I wasn’t prepared for the size of the sundaes that we chose!

Out of 8 people, 6 of us ordered, and this is the beginning…

And I wonder why I’m steadily gaining weight…!

 

They were the size of the kids heads, honestly!

Now, let’s be honest, after a big meal at an Indian restaurant, there is not that much space left in tums for such large desserts, but hey, we had a good go!

And the ‘after’ shot shows at least 3 of the remains…

Mine at the front was more or less done (oops!) Lil Man had a good go of his Choc mint one, and Lil Princess had chosen an extra sickly Bubblegum and Strawberry one which she couldn’t finish! The other three… well they were definitely not totally empty!

And boy was I full afterwards! I was so happy that I had a mountain of ironing to do. There was no way I could sit or lie down! I had a pain in my side from overeating! But at least I got to try one of the dessert places!

(Note to self: next time, skip dinner, go straight to sweet!)

And for my little rhyme, to go with the photo…

Big  ice cream sundaes
Sure to give a sugar high
Calories taunting
A rush with every mouthful
But a tummy ache after!

Monday?! Already!?

Why/how does Monday get here so fast?

I swear, the last few weekends have gone in a flash! 

This weekend we spent a day standing out in the cold, supporting Lil Man and his team in a go kart tournament. There was a team of 6 children chosen to build from scratch an electric go kart, using eco friendly materials, and decorate it. All a form of teamwork, and plenty of opportunity for Learning about engineering and science.

They won Smartest Team, which was cool. But he wasn’t a happy bunny, as in his race, he got clipped from behind, quite severely, and the other car which was behind him, got pushed on in front… Competitive nature means he was devastated that he lost his third place…
A whole day in fresh air mean that we were all shattered and early night were needed by all!image

Sunday, no rest for  the wicked!

 It was Father’s Day, but I needed to catch up on housework, and grocery shopping, then get the homework whip out and crack it too.

This brought on a headache, so I slipped a 2 hour nap in!

Dinner, we went out, for a lovely meal with my in laws to celebrate Father’s Day, and visited the new dessert parlour in town, Creams…

But I was so full…. I could hardly move! I had cramp from too much ice cream!!

I was so thankful for the mountain of ironing I had to do, so the food had time to go down!

But it meant another nearly midnight bedtime…

And here comes Monday… Again!

Still, reports are more or less done, and there are five weeks of term left. We still have our class seaside trip to look forward to, Lil Man has his residential trip, (first time away from us , eeeeek! Don’t get me started!) and his prom!

Where has this year gone?!

Right, I’d better be off! Enjoy your Monday Peeps!!!!

Perfect afternoon!

An ice cream in hand
Kids playing in the park
A fine breeze blowing
It just hits the mark!
Yesterday has been and gone
Today’s another day
Tomorrow well, we’ll wait and see
What that has to say!

I do love my annoying, stubborn, cheeky, funny, cute, amazing kids!!!

But I Smile Anyway...
