Saturday
Evelyn has been feeling a bit crap (possibly the sickness bug I had earlier in the week, as her poops have been up to her neck!? Her neck!! So she woke up at 3am, puked on me and the bed, then wakes me every 30 mins) Connor woke up at 5am. Boys sent back to bed until it was 'morning'. We played Mario until the theme tune was ringing in my head and Craig could bare it no longer. I took the boys and little Evelyn to a friends birthday party. Once we got home I attempted to teach Danny the whip nea nea dance he had heard at the party. But, on realising my dancing was dreadful. I left it up to the little girl and her heavily pregnant mum, who did a much better job haha!

Sunday
The boys went out with their nanny for the afternoon. Craig and I took this rare, exciting opportunity to go crazy and buy Epsom salts for Danny's grow your own flipping crystal kit he got for Christmas (worst idea EVER!!! Seriously, I can't even understand the instructions?!) have some lunch... And fall asleep (Evelyn too!) on the sofa for an afternoon nap. Ah maze ing
Monday
We took full advantage of the cheap and cheerful kids cinema club and went to watch trolls. Wilko had a half price pick n mix offer on too so we get the super cool parents badges for eeking out a trip to the cinema, and being allowed to fill cups with sweets! Aka, two hours of peace whilst the boys sit and watch some highly coloured drivel and eat a load of highly coloured sweets win win!! 😂 Even Evelyn seemed to be hypnotised by the film, even if she missed out on the sweets, for now. I just sat in the corner at the back feeding her until she was milk drunk and snoring away, again peace!!

Ahh, valentines day. I know a lot of people say it's a load of rubbish, just to make money yada yada but I think it's lovely! It's a day of declaring love and showing love. Yeah yeah, we should show it every day and all that, but let's be honest, that's not how it normally happens is it? I think an excuse to just spoil each other a little and to tell/show each other how we feel amidst the chaos of day to day life with three children etc is well, lovely! So shh to all the valentines scrooges out there! Craig brought me G&C lit letters. I was so touched because when we went to collect Connor's birthday balloons a few weeks back in the warehouse they had a huge LOVE light up letters set that can be hired for weddings. We both really liked them, we could picture the boys standing by and climbing on them, Evelyn sitting in the O and us laughing at the end. We have recently been chatting about possibly beginning to maybe consider planning a wedding now we have definitely completed our family so these letters were a tribute to that really. A little sneak of what could be in the future.
We took the kids to Africa alive today. Evelyn was a little star she seemed to really enjoy watching the animals, and had a little giggle at the Drills. She enjoyed the train ride too! The boys should have been put in one of the cages with the animals. Honestly I was sick of my own voice, stop running, don't shout, it's not a competition, no I can't jump over the fence to get a flamingos feather for your collection, yes that is the monkey's willy. Pair of loons. I think they just love the freedom of no school and can let loose a bit, but oh my goodness I was pleased once 6:45 came and they were in bed!!
Wednesday
Today was a little more chilled. I took the kids to playstax, let them have a bit of a run around. It's lovely now they are at the age I don't have to chase them around, I can be one of those awful mums who sit and chat and drink coffee, hoping they don't get into mischief! On a side note, I 'm so lucky that I have so many lovely school mum friends, it's a God send during the holidays to meet up and let all the kids go crazy. The boys had a massive scrap, they have been bickering for days non stop so it was inevitable... So they were sent to bed with no afters, no toys in the bath and no bedtime story. Grrr. Let's hope they wake up in better moods!
Thursday
Today we decided to have a day at home, I had been dreading it because of their behavior last night, I just had visions of spending the day arguing and counting down to bedtime. But, they pleasantly surprised me, which with a teething baby was a massive bonus! We didn't get dressed till almost 11, which is such a novelty in this house! We finally opened and attempted the grow your own crystal kit Danny got for Christmas. Honestly, it says 10 +but neither Craig or I had any clue what so ever what it was on about. So we attempted one, the solution is on the window sill and we shall pop to bizarre bizarre at the weekend and replace the crazy solution with amazing crystals! 😂 Lesson learnt! We made transformer biscuits with Connor, played with the budgies, I feel like a bad guy but I had to clip slinky's wings again boo....he is just so useless at flying and literally flies smack into the windows walls etc, and last week he had to stay in the cage for a few days as he was twitching and swaying about after his last fall....ergh I can't deal with another your budgie has died conversation so hopefully he will forgive me! The boys did have a few arguments, but generally they have been lovely today so win win! Danny asked to borrow my phone to take some videos of himself and his rock collection, I love my little geek!! Evelyn is still squawking away and can almost sit up with her hands infront of her now, tripod sitting I think it's called? She's still a little wobbly but she is slowly but so quickly morphing from a beautiful sleepy newborn to a little cracker of a baby girl!
Today we packed up our picnic and went to " the gruffalo place " high lodge in Thetford. It's basically a load of outdoor play areas and musical instruments within the forest. With a few gruffalo statues and a trail thrown in too. It's great fun, we always enjoy our days there the boys can run off some energy and Evelyn was poking her head out of the wrap babbling away. I wrote a previous post about this place back on my birthday when we decided to hire bikes, we nearly died and I fell down a hill over the handle bars, great Stuff!
We dropped the boys off at their nanny's fir the night. They have only recently started sleeping over, only once or twice but they get so excited and really enjoy their time with Nanny! I get a bit of peace too, they are brilliant but they are full on! So far this evening I've had a lovely long bath (with Evelyn) applied for don't tell the bride... Haha can't see that happening but worry a shot!! I've eaten a load of duck flavoured crisps... That I don't have to share! And I'm now going to look for a film to watch, although let's face it, I'll probably be asleep by 9:30 as Evelyn is already snoring away must have been all that fresh air!!
Hope everyone has had a lovely half term, I know we did! I will be glad to see them back at school Monday however! I'm exhausted!!
Thank you for visiting! XxxX
