This day I love.......

Sunday

I took the girls to see their very first wrestling match.  It was a huge success, excuse the rubbish quality photos

the big show

Monday

I took my eldest swimming after school and she loved trying her new Cuddle dry towel.  It kept her wet hair from getting on her clothes whilst she got dressed.

Tuesday

Another treat, this time to see Mr Tumble.  I took the girls after school on a surprise trip and they loved the show.

A beautiful welcome visitor appeared in my car.

Sunday

The Easter bunny paid a visit and left the girls Easter eggs all over the house.  My Mum came over and we took the girls to the local park for an Easter egg hunt.  They managed to find the eggs and won prizes on the tombola.  There was even a surprise visit from the Easter bunny himself.

Monday

We had a day in the garden and the girls and the dogs had rather a lot of fun digging holes looking for worms.

Tuesday

My eldest and I spent the day playing in the garden and generally enjoying the nice weather.

Wednesday

I took my eldest to an event at Eureka put on by ao.com.  The event looked at allergies and it was really informative.

Thursday

When the weather is nice there can only be one option for dinner, a picnic!

Friday

The girls are really enjoying using their CleverStix.  We had some fruit as snack in the garden and it was the perfect opportunity to use them.

This week can go down in history as the week with the lurgy.  

Sunday

I really was not feeling well but felt I could not let the charity down and so took part in my first ever 10K road race.  I completed the race in 1 hour and 5 minutes which given the course and my health I was pleased with.


Monday

After a trip to the Dr for some cough medicine and dosing up on paracetamol we headed to Scarborough to visit the penguins.  SeaLife Scarborough have just opened penguin island, if you love penguins you have to go.


Tuesday

As April approaches I start looking back through old photos of my sister.  I came across this one and was so surprised at how much the girls look like my sister.  She would have been the same age as my youngest here, and I the same as my eldest.


Wednesday

I set up an Easter theme challenge for the girls using their CleverStix.  The girls love Cleverstix and really enjoyed the challenge.  As soon as I feel better I shall be adding the video to YouTube.


Thursday

Wanting to make the most of the day with just my eldest we headed to the shopping centre.  She needed new shoes and of course she wanted to see Cinderella.  Apologies to everyone in the cinema for the coughing, sneezing and nose blowing.


Friday

The week took its toll on all of us.  I had planned to go out to Nostell Priory and take part in their egg hunt but I could not move and neither could the girls.  We all felt really poorly and so a day on the sofa it was.


Saturday

My eldest is feeling better and my youngest has turned a corner.  She is still poorly but no where near as bad.  I have developed a nasty ear ache, on top of the cough and runny nose.  Whilst everything hurts I had to take the girls out so they could enjoy some fresh air.  It would not have been fair on my eldest otherwise.  I feel shocking but both girls had a lovely day at Nostell Priory.

I seem to have fallen a bit behind in my 365 posts so am going to do a quick catch up.  I have photos for everyday but thought I would instead do a round up post with some of my favourites.  

Week 11

Week 11 saw us spending time in the garden and battling with coughs and colds.  Busy week with looking after poorly children and spending any time we could outdoors.


 Week 12

My Mum and Dad returned from holiday and brought me back a selfie stick, which my eldest wasted no time in working out how to use


I spent ages playing with settings on my camera to try and get a photo of the eclipse and am pretty pleased with what I captured.


My youngest and I went to a special VIP opening day for the Gruffalo experience and it was amazing.


We had a lovely lunch with one of my oldest and best friends.  The girls enjoyed playing in the park afterwards.


Week 13

This week was spent at Bluestone in Wales and I cannot wait to write up the post so you can see all our holiday photos.  We had an amazing week and the girls have already asked to go back

All I can say for last week is I am glad it is over.

Sunday

soft playI took the kids to soft play so I could get on with my assignment.  Bad parenting but at least they were entertained for the day.


Monday

Sleeping smile dogThe rest of the week was spent writing my assignment so the pictures are not that great.  I do love this one of spotty dog.  She always looks so happy

Tuesday

daughter on computerMore bad parenting as I let my 2 year old play on her computer so I can finish my assignment

Wednesday

spring flowersNeeded a quick break from doing work so I went for a walk in the garden.  I love this picture my phone captured, especially the spider.

Thursday

world book day dress upWorld book day.  Youngest wanted to dress up as a pirate.  She love Pirates love underpants and my eldest wanted to dress up like a Dr.

Friday

playing outsideI finally got my assignment into my tutor which meant I could at long last get outside.  It felt fantastic to be outdoors and in the fresh air after so long tied to the computer screen.  My youngest loved that she got to spend some time with me too.

Saturday

Soft playWe were invited to an event at Brewers Fayre,  #PlayAtBrewersFayre, It was a really great day with face painting and soft play.  Of course lunch was provided too.  The girls really loved it.







I am so happy the assignment is in, and I am hoping I do not have to make too many changes before the final submission.  Really looking forward to next week when some normality can resume

I have joined weeks 8 and 9 together as we were on holiday in week 8 and so could not get the post live for the end of the week.  Here is the past two weeks

Sunday

Sunday lunchWe had Sunday Lunch out.  It was a real treat and the food was lovely.  We are looking forward to visiting again


Monday

reading a bookMy youngest is taking a real interest in reading.  I caught her cuddled up reading a book to herself.  It was very cute


Tuesday

the dogsWe had a Teksta Newborn to review and this picture made me giggle.  I managed to get all of them to sit together.


Wednesday

hair dressersIt was a wet and miserable day, I managed to get the girls a last minute hair dressers appointment.  My youngest actually sat in the chair for more than 5 minutes which is a first

Thursday

on the trainWe began the first of 4 trains on the 5 hour journey to Brighton to visit my sister.  The girls did get a little fed up, but I cannot blame them really.  My youngest decided I had to wear the Trunki Toddle Pak.


Friday

afternoon teaAfternoon tea by the sea, the girls loved it.  Cakes and sandwiches, with a glass of milk.


Saturday

playing on the beachIt might be raining but that is not going to stop us from having a good time on our holidays.

Sunday

Back from holiday, tired following the long train journey and feeling under the weather.  There can only be one thing for it, Mr Potato head play


Monday

Some days you just need a walk through the woods to clear your head.  
Tuesday

cuddly dogsI caught the dogs all curled up together on the bean bag.  They looked very cute


Wednesday

So proud of my eldest, a badge in gymnastics and star of the day at school.
Thursday

doctor dress upToday was our Doc McStuffins twitter party.  Everyone had a great time, there was cake, games and flashing shoes.  My eldest loves to dress up and loves Doc McStuffins so it was a great day for her.
















Friday

Youngest selfieI love this selfie my youngest took.  She was playing with my camera and I came across this.  



















Saturday

watching tv
I have an assignment deadline for my course on Friday which means I am frantically trying to get everything finished.  It did mean I had to resort to electronic baby sitting methods.  Judging by the giggles coming from the girls I do not think they mind too much.

girls after junior park runThe girls are taking more of an interest in Mummy running.  I like to encourage this as I think it is great for kids to be involved in physical activities and to be active.  I found a local running event for children and we took the girls on Sunday morning.  They both loved it and have asked to go again

Monday

Walk in the eveningI accidentally broke my blog.  Which resulted in the rest of the week all spare time going into trying to fix it, which fingers crossed it appears to be.  After school I took my eldest for a walk, we both needed some fresh air.  We went in search of some muddy puddles and it was nice to spend some time with her

Tuesday

crating with carpet rightI attended a really great blogging event with Carpet right.  We were challenged to craft with carpet.  It was great to see all the creative ideas the other bloggers came up with and to put my creative mind to the test.  

Wednesday

Girls cuddled upI caught the girls having a little cuddle whilst watching a film.  It is lovely to see the two of them cuddled together.

Thursday

snow dropsI finally found some snow drops!  


Friday

pomegranate chickenNot the best picture in the world, but I was experimenting with food and in particular pomegranate.  I made a pomegranate marinade to use over the chicken and it was really tasty.

Saturday

Valentines Park runI started off Valentines morning on a Park run.  The course was lined with heart balloons and many of the runners were in fancy dress.  I got another PB and finally managed a 5K in under 30 minutes!
