Sorry for the delay in posting, between the sun, the beers & the fighting with my nephews, I felt awful by the time I came to bed and went straight to sleep.
Yesterday was the big day, and when the alarm went off at 6.30 my wife and I were straight out of bed. She got in the shower to wash her hair while I did the washing up, then she fed our son while I did all the downstairs housework. By 8.45, right on schedule, we were on our way to the supermarket.
We got everything we needed and after a quick detour to my parents to pick up a fridge, we were back on our way home. When we got home our son had a nap, and we got back on. I went out in the garden, did a poop scoop, picked up the fallen fruit and cut the grass. My wife prepared potatoes, onions, salad and rolls, as well as feeding our son his lunch.
By 1 o'clock almost everything was done and we got ourselves ready. I showered while my wife, in her own words, straightened her mop and put on her face. By 1.45 we were both ready, and after a few last minute details we were out in the garden, waiting for the hoardes to arrive.
The Bar-B-Q was a success, apart from the beef kebabs which didn't cook properly due to lack of heat. Everyone had a good time, I think, and aside from my aforementioned problems, don't know if it was the beer, the heat or the wrestling, but I felt terrible.
My wife, bless her, cleaned up while I secluded myself to a dark room. Thank you baby, even though I could have done with a bit of sympathy.
All in all a good welcome to the world party, and even though we weren't doing it to get presents, our son still got some lovely gifts.
Thanks to all that came for a perfect afternoon.
Thanks for reading
Adam Edward Grant
