Chicken Curry & Pikelets.

The past few days have truly been rough: we're transiting our littlest to her own bed at the moment (currently a mattress on the floor beside us). Taken together with a stomach bug I had earlier this week, and a little man who was also unsettled in bed... The husband and I hardly got good quality sleep. Thankfully, tonight seems to be the smoothest it's been so far. Fingers crossed.

This is chicken curry I made from scratch. I'd been wanting to get this right for awhile now, and it was really satisfying to finally get it. I made a pretty large pot of it and it's lasting us quite a few days. Yum. 

Also learning something new was our big boy. He mixed up some batter himself and cooked pikelets for breakfast this week. His attention span usually flits from one thing to another pretty quickly, so it was a pleasant surprise to see him follow through the cooking process. Proud of this one.

With school opening next Thursday and Omicron seemingly building up momentum in New Zealand, I'm glad we got our older ones vaccinated last week. Apart from some soreness on the injection site, they were both fine and in good spirits. 

The challenge at the moment, I find, lies in taking the government's evolving  restrictions/covid measures on the chin whilst navigating our own way of living fully and meaningfully in this time. The pandemic is proving to be a long-drawn marathon rather than a sprint.
