Just a happy little Easter post

Hellooo
Happy Easter! Hope everyone has had a good one! Even with the awful weather 'storm Katie' brought with her... Since when did we start naming storms anyway!?

We have had a lovely little weekend. We went to pets corner, a strong favourite with the boys. It's just a itty bitty little well....corner with animals in. The boys loved holding easter chicks and baby bunnies, and of course wanted to bring them home. Not a good idea as they would probably become this one's lunch!!

You can go into the famous goat pen, where pretty much you get mauled by a small horde of horned beasts for what's left of the animal feed you have. It's a rite of passage in my mind. I still fully remember being scratched down the arm by a goat and my brother being headbutted in the goolies, still hilarious to this day! On this occasion no one got butted, we did get to have a little cuddle with an ickle baby goat too!

Sunday was a little unexpected. Someone I know was giving away an amazing old parrot cage! I couldn't pass it up so Danny and I collected it. Danny had to ride in the front seat of the car, which is a first for him and he was so amazed! He also asked me about a million questions. "Mummy, what's that stick for, whats the peddles do!? " He also had control of the radio and apparently my deezer playlist "Pop punk anthems " (which by the way is a brilliant playlist!  - Bowling for soup, sum 41, all American rejects, greenday etc etc) is 'really weird but a bit good' which, I can live with! I'm slowly working on his musical taste, he does like Coldplay, maroon 5 and stereophonics which I consider a win...the sigala sweet sweet loving song, little mix and Justin beiber parts are ehhh so and so acceptable. I mean everyone likes a bit of beiber right!? Is it too late now to say sorry!?


Anyway! Back to the cage!  When we got it home, it was like a scene from a movie!! Ha! We all had sponges and scrubbed it clean, the boys seemed to really have fun making the new house nice for their budgies and it only ended up erupting into chaos towards the end when Connor had gotten bored and realised if he flicked his sponge on a stick thingy, whatever they are called, he could send bubbles everywhere. Which, in a room surrounded by windows wasn't that funny! Once it was all cleaned up and in place we popped in peep and woody and they suddenly looked so tiny! It's lovely they now have enough space to fly about and a water bowl big enough to bath in though! Plus, eventually when the boys are older it would be lovely to have a bigger bird, just whilst they are loud and prone to poking their fingers through the bars a teeny budgie is probably a much safer option. Even though woody, who absolutely detests me, can give me a nasty nip!

Today was really rubbish weather wise so anything outside wasn't an option and being half term and rubbish everything inside would be packed to the rafters. So we popped to the garden centre because the boys wanted to spend their pennies on getting the budgies a few new toys (another bonus of keeping budgies....everything is soooo cheap!)
We stopped for some lunch too, we generally take food wherever we go because eating out with a 4 and 3 year old can either be wonderful and you come away really feeling like you're rocking this parenting thing....or it can go to hell and you end up marching the children out having not even  eaten most the food you have paid hideous money for red faced and pissed off! Ha! Well, today went pretty well. We didn't have to wait for anything as we ordered off the front desk and they actually sat nicely and politely and even a few old people smiled at them so must have been good! Danny is always pretty good, he is easily bribed if necessary!  Connor is, I believe, part feral and quite unpredictable... And not so easily bribed! Hopefully starting nursery after easter will tame him a little! I'll be a howling mess but I'm quite looking forward to having a few afternoons a week just with Danny before he starts school in September (!!!) He has already complied a list of places he wants us to go on our afternoons together, one being the library then Costa for hot chocolate and cake...Yes!! Ha!
We did end up popping to our favourite budgie lady too. And we did pick a new budgie to come home with too. He's called bullseye (a toy story theme) and he seems to be settling in well. We may get another one or two in time now we have the room!

Craig and I have ordered the boys some bunk beds too this week! Argh!!! The first item we have brought to do with Baby number 3 Argh!!  They did used to share but we did separate them, but they have been asking to have 'sleepovers' in each others rooms since so I think the move back together won't be a hard one.
 I have my scan date through too, for my 20 week scan!  I seriously can not wait to find out what this little one is! Craig thinks it's a boy, I'm putting my money on a girl,  simply because when I was pregnant with the boys I had beautiful hair, skin and nails and I felt great. This time I'm turning into an old hag who feels sick 70% of the time and who needs to wear gloves to hide my hideous lizard like hands and split gross nails haha!
Have a great week!
Thanks for visiting! XxxX
