This Saturday I'm grateful for.....

1. Not having an open house this weekend. Last weekend was a dismal failure with the rain keeping everyone away :( So I'm grateful that I don't have to rush around keeping the boys from messing up the place.

2. Mr Mess working this weekend. That probably is mean because I know he'd rather be at home with us but the weekends he works gives me some extra down time to catch up on all my favourite blogs, get up to date with my own blogs and just generally potter about. The boys seem to like not having to go anywhere too, work weekends are a vege weekend here in the Mess house :)

3. Home baked goodies. Kenny's been hard at work again. Together we whipped up a batch of my MIL's 123 biscuits as well as a batch of these delicious cinnamon scrolls.

They were so yummy!

Mr Mess

It's been a hectic week this week. The last thing I needed was an open home to prepare this weekend, but alas that's what was on the agenda. My dear thoughtful husband Mr Mess took yesterday afternoon off to help me contain the children and clean the house top to bottom. I love him so.

Mr Mess

We're not big on Valentine's Day, we never have been. I think in our first year together there were flowers and gifts exchanged for Valentine's Day, but life took over and we'd mainly celebrate the day of lurrrve with a nice dinner and a bit of a smooch.

So it was a real surprise when Mr Mess came home today with these.....

Made me giddy as a school girl with her first crush. I still have the silly smile on my face.

Happy Valentine's Day.
