The kids should be asleep soon. It’s 8.30 pm. Adam will take 3 year old Leo to the bathroom for his last ‘pee, pee’ for the night, floss and brush his teeth and then read bedtime stories. I will take Roma into our bedroom, read stories and change her diaper, quickly followed by her milk and the battle we then have between us with her toothbrush and brushing her teeth. Some nights the teeth brushing goes great most night, like tonight, it takes forever. I wasn’t really satisfied ¬†with the job I did tonight. She definitely won.
I didn’t leave our room until about 8.20. I sat at the computer and wondered what I would write for my blog post. Then Adam appeared. He had just left ¬†Leo’s room. Sometimes he looks like he has fallen asleep in there with him. He appears in the living room looking all bleary eyed. ¬†He hadn’t fell asleep tonight because he is looking forward to watching 24. ¬†Adam went to the kitchen and opened the fridge door. I asked him what he was looking for and he replied a snack. Obviously, he had spotted an unfamiliar paper bag in the fridge and was hoping that something good might be inside. Bingo. I had my blog post.
I told Adam that on the way back from my doctors appointment I had gone into the store and picked up a treat for us. Honestly, I had bought the treats for myself intending to eat one of them after lunch and if he was good he might get a piece of the second one, in the evening. Ha ha.
These cakes are delicious. They are filled with marion berry and have a crumbly topping. I just trotted to the fridge to get the correct name but all it says on the bag is bakery department. Never mind. They are quite delicious and the last time I bought one I actually ate the whole slice even though I had intended to save a bite for Adam. At least I bought two this time. We’ll eat them while watching 24. A delicious treat, at the end of the day, for two tired parents of two energetic small children.
