The most important thing though is that we will all be together for the whole day :) definitely something to look forward too! </div>Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03761128577617590156noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083082627513049220.post-55205486220774246912014-05-14T08:51:00.001-07:002014-05-16T02:09:21.467-07:00Layla's bedroom makeoverLayla's bedroom finally got finished this week. It has been a long time coming. When we moved into this house almost 2 years ago hers was 1 of only 3 rooms in the entire house that I didn't want to change as it was already decorated pretty much the way we wanted. It was a lovely lilac and hot pink colour scheme and she loved it. Unfortunately Layla went threw a phase of wallpaper picking and the room went from pretty perfect to pretty messed up in a few months. Then at the end of last summer we decorated a lot, the living room, the kitchen, the bathroom,Courtney's room and Layla's room all got done but Layla's never quite got finished. It had a first coat of paint, then half way through coat 2 we ran out only to discover the colour was discontinued and it left me stumped as to what to do for a while, I was looking online and In every hard wear store I could find. I eventually found one in the clearance trolley in the local store and was ready to go again. Layla had other ideas and decided again she was going to make a mess of her walls, this time with colouring pencils and pens. She broke some shelving she had on the walls which left a lovely lilac patch when I has removed what was left hanging in the wall. Now being totally honest I developed a why do I bother attitude with her room, why should I make it nice for her if she is just going to ruin it again is something I said more than once to anyone who seen the state her room was in. This is what her room was left like for almost 6 months, and the pictures don't so justice to how bad it actually looked. <br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOtxSAohjYIZPbSvgd0uuNNW7v9U5-XjnOyFdtFZ31ZPuBZ4Y5yQuC5TuZYeprqPBxHIouUICE7m1JrwpEr3TkyiwBSK9PeAMl0aqvdRYdNOcUyy69F910FRCzqRO-4Lgi1JcBW2LY-Qc/s640/blogger-image--463776001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOtxSAohjYIZPbSvgd0uuNNW7v9U5-XjnOyFdtFZ31ZPuBZ4Y5yQuC5TuZYeprqPBxHIouUICE7m1JrwpEr3TkyiwBSK9PeAMl0aqvdRYdNOcUyy69F910FRCzqRO-4Lgi1JcBW2LY-Qc/s640/blogger-image--463776001.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Then she changed, or just got a bit older, she has more of an understanding now of what's ok and what's not ok to do when she is alone in her room. So I decided it was time to make her room nice again. She had no idea I was planning to finish it and I wish I had been better prepared when I showed her the finished room because her face was priceless and I wish I had caught that moment in a picture. She is very happy with her finished room and so am I, let's hope she keeps it nice. </div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyZ4FdX67H_CbruB73KkgH4FFxmyGZcv_TzqZo_So68Ag49ax2h94grfG1NFRZibkaTjUtRbkykWxJs4EDCp_ylD2Rtfhnn_A_ea9bRNHk8NIS2-Kd1r9bgjLhZhDXYXnjiwFFm7Q8l-U/s640/blogger-image-228768574.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyZ4FdX67H_CbruB73KkgH4FFxmyGZcv_TzqZo_So68Ag49ax2h94grfG1NFRZibkaTjUtRbkykWxJs4EDCp_ylD2Rtfhnn_A_ea9bRNHk8NIS2-Kd1r9bgjLhZhDXYXnjiwFFm7Q8l-U/s640/blogger-image-228768574.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I'm really pleased with the finished room and she loves having some books of her own instead of taking books out of Courtney's room for story time. I have also added a few of her favourite toys in there as she is old enough now to know bedtime isn't play time, so I trust her to not play when she should be sleeping. Now I only have 2/3 rooms left to decorate and I have everything done, but by then I may want to start again! Is it just me who loves to change things up? How often does everyone else redecorate there rooms? I seem to be in a constant rotation but I do love the its finished feeling you get after you step back and look at a room you have been working on. My utility room is next in my agenda and that is going to happen very soon as it's the last room that looks terrible. In fact I might even do that next week! I have the big again now I've started, and I always find spring time the best time for a change. </div>Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03761128577617590156noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083082627513049220.post-34096171255386891362014-05-13T13:55:00.001-07:002014-05-13T13:57:25.854-07:00Getting back to normalSo peters dad got out of hospital and I'm hoping now things can get back to normal.

My father in law has been in hospital and was quite poorly but seems to be on the mend now. We have been up to a few other things in between hospital visits and this is an updates post. We went on a shopping trip and found a pet shop where they have a parrot that is let out of its cage every day and just flies around the shop. This made me very excited as I'm a huge animal lover. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Ht7i8o_QtnEsXuJr5SSARwDYyXQDYegWfx4zNzKi7iOJqkRP1fo-3i2mcF2x_LuNXJN58423OYUu-xhnIXvtpi7CElIY7gMF5zvssd03-hoi0tIi1hcbrvSP1CRkuOajDV1E9K2o8Ec/s640/blogger-image-496269452.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Ht7i8o_QtnEsXuJr5SSARwDYyXQDYegWfx4zNzKi7iOJqkRP1fo-3i2mcF2x_LuNXJN58423OYUu-xhnIXvtpi7CElIY7gMF5zvssd03-hoi0tIi1hcbrvSP1CRkuOajDV1E9K2o8Ec/s640/blogger-image-496269452.jpg"></a>It felt like a good day and I was feeling very lucky and blessed so I bought a scratch card and what to you know I won £10 :) </div><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiovs3fymqi0sAVbcfgrBP2rIjbzHqPwSdgaZddpETYgijGfOidYPqoO7Yp_dY6m2pK_UZGjzW0NJuo9JrvTVRQcn_y-1bNxqQqNQqdNekbc3SS75HcVAqe2vPwS8vUmVzltFbESozA9g/s640/blogger-image-1249434414.jpg"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The girls hasn't done anything fun for a while so we decided to bake a cake.

Peter has had some time off work because of his dad and it has been nice to have him around a bit more, something I know both girls have been craving since he has been working so often. Without the stress of the hospital I think the past week would have been close to perfect for us. Things are looking up with his dad as I said and everyone is in much higher spirits. So let's see what happens next in this crazy life. </div>Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03761128577617590156noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083082627513049220.post-37790591750598225932014-04-29T14:43:00.001-07:002014-04-29T14:43:11.036-07:00We finished the snake<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmv1Apr1KLH7ubYq-NvMVOwQb8kZQioCxj6NWRBapZB_5ijYfDVVn3mwMZmwr8F0s9mlKZUunYkpsGqGBCTz9HHFSrsiVt-RCrvyhZEblfNLgLjhPwsM0lh9bVylI-syTtaMlZSAbZItc/s640/blogger-image--2086694560.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmv1Apr1KLH7ubYq-NvMVOwQb8kZQioCxj6NWRBapZB_5ijYfDVVn3mwMZmwr8F0s9mlKZUunYkpsGqGBCTz9HHFSrsiVt-RCrvyhZEblfNLgLjhPwsM0lh9bVylI-syTtaMlZSAbZItc/s640/blogger-image--2086694560.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2NgkRv18Rg69PPp6ZIG91vT1Rzw1sXWGTrutKZjFN_JrUO2DKQl8z9m570n5AK572jY9HN7nPQpV1MXq-Y19_iscQFbw7J49dtVbNvbrHUEsd7CvKlBQwBqseioIvYATdeCniPFSWILQ/s640/blogger-image--1018111126.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2NgkRv18Rg69PPp6ZIG91vT1Rzw1sXWGTrutKZjFN_JrUO2DKQl8z9m570n5AK572jY9HN7nPQpV1MXq-Y19_iscQFbw7J49dtVbNvbrHUEsd7CvKlBQwBqseioIvYATdeCniPFSWILQ/s640/blogger-image--1018111126.jpg"></a></div><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmv1Apr1KLH7ubYq-NvMVOwQb8kZQioCxj6NWRBapZB_5ijYfDVVn3mwMZmwr8F0s9mlKZUunYkpsGqGBCTz9HHFSrsiVt-RCrvyhZEblfNLgLjhPwsM0lh9bVylI-syTtaMlZSAbZItc/s640/blogger-image--2086694560.jpg"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It took longer than we expected and we had some issues with the head falling off, but here it is, finally finished.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Today was a Monday like any other, we got up and dressed and took daddy o work. In fact nothing was different until it came time to take Layla to nursery. She was excited and had been asking me everyday since her last session "am i going to school today?" so what happened next caught me off guard a lot! I took her inside hung up her bag and coat and gave her a kiss goodbye and said i would see her when I finished work. That's when it happened, her whole attitude changed, her bottom lip popped out and a tear sneaked down her cheek. I said whats the matter as i swept her up into my arms and she broke down, really crying saying she didn't want me to go. needless to say i felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest and stomped on many times over as i left her nursery this morning. i knew she would be OK once I left as she went through a phase of crying when i went to work even when she was staying with family so i knew it wasn't a problem with the nursery. I did however leave the staff with instructions to phone me at work had she not settled and the fact i hadn't had a call by lunchtime made me realise she was OK. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
When it came time to collect her i walked in to see her laughing with her friends and having so much fun. I instantly felt relief that she was enjoying herself while i was away, the tears of this morning long forgotten for her while they lay heavy on my heart all day. She was making a mess playing in shaving foam when i arrived and was excited to tell me why her hair looked different (it was now in a bun because she wanted it to look like her teachers) she collected up her things waved goodbye to her teachers and friends an happily said "see you tomorrow" as she walked through the door. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I am so glad she was much happier when i collected her then then i left her and i hope that it was a one off and tomorrow will be different. Lets cross our fingers, as i don't think i could go through that everyday :( </div>

This morning I was of course super sleepy and although I had plans to do so much I really didn't have the energy levels to match up to my hopes for the day. The weather was miserable too so that limited us to being indoors, both girls seemed quite lazy today too so I'm praying we're not getting sick. So apart from the usually Sunday tasks (washing, uniforms, packed lunches etc) we put another layer of paper mache on the snakes were making and that was pretty much it. We played some games (pop up pirate, guess who, memory match) but really just lazed around and took it easy. Sometimes it's nice to just do nothing though isn't it. We never even got dressed today, of course we all had showers/ baths but we all just changed from one set of pj's to anther. Even the traditional Sunday roast got brushed off as too much effort and we decided on tacos instead. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWEyuOhaMHMw1Siprd6h_VWDjD-JKx5bMdCmEckqRsrWM3tr4uxjHVSMAY1FnDavj4hu-H-Ds9OGJRACSaINVGsK7TRBWEZf-OwMYukx5T07iVFf15cfbR_cxIlIchpO0iml7HehRBDKQ/s640/blogger-image-1362120883.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWEyuOhaMHMw1Siprd6h_VWDjD-JKx5bMdCmEckqRsrWM3tr4uxjHVSMAY1FnDavj4hu-H-Ds9OGJRACSaINVGsK7TRBWEZf-OwMYukx5T07iVFf15cfbR_cxIlIchpO0iml7HehRBDKQ/s640/blogger-image-1362120883.jpg"></a>They were yummy. The girls love tacos and fajitas so I knew it was something they weren't going to say no too. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">After dinner we just hung out watched some TV together and had story time before we went to bed. Everyone was tired so it was early nights all round, boosting energy levels for school/work in the morning. </div>Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03761128577617590156noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083082627513049220.post-61851815787356132212014-04-26T14:09:00.000-07:002014-04-26T14:09:00.450-07:00The weekend has landed<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Yay, the weekend is here and my girls are home with me :) I love the weekends when I have all day to spend at home with my girls. Today started off really grey so I wasn't to sure what I was going to do, we decided to start our day off by doing Courtney's homework. She is learning about the different habitats of animals at the moment and has to pick a jungle animal and make a model of it this weekend. She has until Wednesday to hand it in so we got started early as she wanted to paper mache a snake so we wanted to give it lots of time to set. we got Layla involved making her a smaller snake of her own to mould. I will add pictures of the finished snakes when they are completed and ready to go into school.Both girls loved getting messy and sticky with the glue and we had lots of laughs while we were moulding and sticking everything together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The weather wasn't looking much better when we had finished so we headed upstairs and recorded an interview with the girls, 15 questions I plan to ask every 6-12 months and see how different there answers are each time. You can find both of there interviews over on the youtube channel <span id="goog_76626527"></span><span id="goog_76626528"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/LadyLuck0211" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2198a6;">https://www.youtube.com/user/LadyLuck0211</span></a> if you would like to see those. I'm really interested in how they change in each video. Below are some pictures we took after the interviews we finished. </span></div>

After that we had some soup for lunch then as the sun had started trying to break out we decided to put on our shoes and coats and go for a walk, Layla asked if we could take Madison with us for a walk in the woods and so that's what we did. She loves taking Madison as she can actually walk her rather than menace who tends to walk us (so he is usually left to daddy to walk) and off we went. We always get funny looks when people see us walking down the road, a 3 year old in charge of the lead on a staffordshire bull terrier. Unfortunately there is a stereotype around the breed and some people cant see past it, this has never bothered the girls though who are now used to people crossing the road to avoid walking past us or turning about so there dogs don't have to get close to ours. <br />

They love the dogs and the dogs adore them. They have all grown up together and although people thought we were mad getting a puppy when we had a newborn baby we loved the idea of them having that companion right through there childhoods. They really are best friends and couldn't be without each other. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
After we were finished in the woods we headed home to meet daddy who had been working and then we all hung out together before running a few errands. Nothing exciting just picking up a few bits from the shops etc, then we went home for dinner. The girls were treated to a take out pizza, not something we do very often but today that's what we decided to do. so while we were waiting for the pizza to arrive we all got in our pj's and when it arrived we all sat together under a blanket and watched a movie. We had a lovely day today and I'm looking forward to seeing what tomorrow brings. </div>

Me and Layla had planned on going out on her bike for a bit of practise while Courtney was at school but that never happened because we couldn't leave the house without ending up soaking wet. So it was an indoor day with the heating on staying warm and dry. Courtney had a birthday party to go to after school that she had been really looking forward to for a long time, so we didn't do much after school except have a bit of dinner and get ready for that. I'm glad it's the weekend so she will be home for a couple of days now and hopefully the weather will cheer up so we can have some outdoor time together doing something fun. <div><br></div><div>I didn't post yesterday as I had nothing to write about I was up and at work super early in the morning and aside from Layla peeking out if her window and giving me a cheeky wave, not much happened. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp-lLiSIOA1GPqemGJEEgc7Z_cYSaKIhrrS4LLrwmqnuw2Skc_pp3Nf_L_jNsMn_4cCkO9UT9ohelootnswIBUC3EBkF0EyLUe6f9ySUJThTWrQgxf0DdrYgh9U7O_QX-GZvlAGwIXv1k/s640/blogger-image-933515927.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp-lLiSIOA1GPqemGJEEgc7Z_cYSaKIhrrS4LLrwmqnuw2Skc_pp3Nf_L_jNsMn_4cCkO9UT9ohelootnswIBUC3EBkF0EyLUe6f9ySUJThTWrQgxf0DdrYgh9U7O_QX-GZvlAGwIXv1k/s640/blogger-image-933515927.jpg"></a></div><br></div></div><div>When I came home from work I was really tired and so we never really done anything worth mentioning. We just hung out and generally had a lazy evening. Daddy kind of took charge and done the homework and everything that needed done and I ended up having an early night. So when I woke up this morning I was refreshed and ready to have a more productive day. Then the rain came and forced us to be inside ( something Layla hates) she would much rather be outdoors doing something so I always find it harder so keep her entertained when we have to stay home. Any suggestions on keeping a 3 year olds attention indoors for longer than 5 minutes welcome :) she loves colouring and puzzles etc but only for 5 minutes then she gets fed up and wants something more. What do your children like to do when going outside isn't an option? </div><div>On another note things are starting to happen with our grass heads and sunflower seeds so I will take some pictures and share those in the next few days (daddy has the most grass right now) so we will see how they look. The girls were very excited to realise that they were starting to grow. </div><div>So that's what we have been up too for the past couple of days, let's see what the weekend brings. </div>Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03761128577617590156noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083082627513049220.post-47231365201027538312014-04-23T14:14:00.001-07:002014-04-23T14:18:44.676-07:00All by myself :(So today was the day I have dreaded for the past week, Courtney went back to school and Layla started her full time days. I knew I was going to feel lost without them both, normally after school holidays it's so strange around the house and that's just because 1 child has gone to school so I knew today was going to be super weird for me. <div>Let's just say I felt like I had lost a limb after dropping then both off today, I couldn't believe how quiet the house was. I just sat and felt lost for about half an hour when I realised I had no distractions and wow did I forget just how much you can actually get done in 6 hours when your not constantly being called from another room because somebody needs a drink or someone changed the channel by accident or someone isn't playing by the real rules :) I got so much stuff done today, I cleaned the whole house ( this is normally a 2 day job in itself these days ) I cleaned my makeup brushes, I washed and dried 2 loads of washing, I bathed the dogs and cleaned there bedding and I actually sat down and watched some TV (not nick jr) for the first time in forever!! But then I was clock watching until it was time to bring my babies home again. </div><div>It will take a while to get used to having some free time, We decided to put Layla in nursery Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday because the days and hours I work are usually those days but my hours have altered slightly meaning I may not be working on Tuesday and Wednesday very often now. So I have 2 days a week to get everything done that the kids hate me doing, cleaning etc. I will still be working on a Monday and a Thursday every week but daddy has Thursdays off so that's his day to spend time with little miss and that's why she isn't in nursery on a Thursday and I don't work Fridays so we still have that day together. </div><div>After school the girls wanted to visit nanny and tell her all about there days so that is exactly what we did. We stayed there until dinner time then came home and got ready for bed. Everyone was really tired tonight from there hectic days so it was early to bed for the girls and I will be having an early one too. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEitRR2wXyRHMQe-YG4jHNrPP9qPvDMd_e9uSPT6wlpMKW4J3bXIVySZIset-za3LN9paQdLLK-y_xpAOl_DTjiD2CPdrDT9LeIBO5-rCFaA08AL3T1VypshTL4jSIttLPBaOt-2mXO7w/s640/blogger-image--781290235.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEitRR2wXyRHMQe-YG4jHNrPP9qPvDMd_e9uSPT6wlpMKW4J3bXIVySZIset-za3LN9paQdLLK-y_xpAOl_DTjiD2CPdrDT9LeIBO5-rCFaA08AL3T1VypshTL4jSIttLPBaOt-2mXO7w/s640/blogger-image--781290235.jpg"></a></div></div>Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03761128577617590156noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083082627513049220.post-80171748249334260222014-04-22T12:11:00.001-07:002014-04-22T15:25:10.452-07:00Layla's first packed lunch<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMZ36-c5eDm0dHS3CqiGEvXTo09N6tMMTEFEndywVb7S2RajJ7iAUMNFSjOj3tQWodo7vorTu1bleKaUGrmLr3DsLCBHUHgHsN5-7UdN6Zhfe7EvgsKo4BXon1NvaZnm81c1rAgE1Aqvg/s640/blogger-image--1790253620.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMZ36-c5eDm0dHS3CqiGEvXTo09N6tMMTEFEndywVb7S2RajJ7iAUMNFSjOj3tQWodo7vorTu1bleKaUGrmLr3DsLCBHUHgHsN5-7UdN6Zhfe7EvgsKo4BXon1NvaZnm81c1rAgE1Aqvg/s640/blogger-image--1790253620.jpg"></a><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Today has been a strange day and by that I mean, I feel like we didn't do anything but at the same time felt like I didn't have enough hours to get everything done. This is mainly because it was the last day if the school holidays and so I had to make sure everything was ready for tomorrow. We did go out for a while, we went to see my nan (the girls great nan) for a while and had to run some errands while we were out but nothing exciting. We had some homework to finish up and I had to make sure uniforms where all ironed and ready including PE kits. I scrubbed Courtney lunchbox out (again) I hate that lunch box smell but I can never seem to prevent it, anyone reading this with any tips please let me know I would be eternally grateful :) Then the time came to make the lunches and making Layla's very first packed lunch got me a little emotional. I'm not sure why maybe because my baby is growing up or maybe because she was so excited about it herself. She picked out it contents herself, a ham sandwich, strawberries and a vanilla yoghurt, with a summer fruits drink to wash it all down. She loved the whole process of picking out what she wanted, I'm sure the novelty will wear away very quickly. But for now she is so excited and it makes me so happy to see her so confident in herself. She has her first full day at nursery tomorrow and isn't in the slightest bit nervous or anxious about it, she is eager to get going and I hope that drive stays with her as she grows through her school years. I'm not sure what tomorrow will bring for me without her and Courtney but at least it will give me the chance to catch up on some chores I've been putting off for a while. </span></div>Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03761128577617590156noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083082627513049220.post-41269400299986401382014-04-21T12:22:00.000-07:002014-04-21T12:22:45.162-07:00Mummy went back to workToday was a strange day, with half term being here and a bit of illness just before i seems like i haven't had a working day for a really long time (only in fact 2 weeks) but even so going back to work today hit me hard. I missed the girls alot and they weren't to crazy on the idea either, expressing more than once this morning "i don't want you to go to work mummy" but i had too. Once i got into work i was fine and enjoyed some grown up conversation. I did however rush out the door as soon as my shift was done, collected the girls and we headed straight to the local playground. This along with the duckpond near by is one of our favourite places because we always seem to manage to get it to ourselves and its great to see the girls running around playing together. <br />

After we picked daddy up we headed home for the first time today and we played with some toys, had dinner, then we cuddled up and watched some TV. When i said it was time to get ready for bed the girls asked if they could sleep over together in Courtney's room. Something they have done a lot these school holidays so we decided since this would be the last night before the school routine started again it was a great idea to have one last sleepover, so as i type up his blog post can hear the girls next door in Courtney's room talking and giggling away. Hearing them fills my heart with joy and seeing my girls getting long so well is the best feeling in the world. They are slowly becoming life long bestfriends and being there mummy makes me proud everyday. </div>

The girls had a great time and there was plenty of food and party games. The biggest incident of the day was when Layla locked herself in the toilet along with her cousin, both of whom then freaked because they couldn't open it again. This was soon taken care of when there auntie climbed over the top and opened the door. Below are some pictures of the girls enjoying some birthday cake.<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnLSCUyt0aUCmu4am_mQ30H9rn8tk-oDZ_aSiuqJKRCsS1MwT7otiWfp8ejiIlzPsAi0ydE4O5Nzpmh68HMybw9FUaMFpfEkS3Z-vCRpKYNqU2d3P7iogV-K-KYTK_8o4H7JmX_8KuXmo/s640/blogger-image-1771748261.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnLSCUyt0aUCmu4am_mQ30H9rn8tk-oDZ_aSiuqJKRCsS1MwT7otiWfp8ejiIlzPsAi0ydE4O5Nzpmh68HMybw9FUaMFpfEkS3Z-vCRpKYNqU2d3P7iogV-K-KYTK_8o4H7JmX_8KuXmo/s640/blogger-image-1771748261.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipfBhWYp3AATiHWLjwHmq-pjU9sOWJFzBvjSE8mkTB6-RfVbG6cqzKr6o1rqkznTNjQL2EJlpEhQDezuZaUFTGDOMkuEOTSmp0XINvo4kFiNCEBFDw0iYfsfo1IZwxxcwjlY0IwsCJmIg/s640/blogger-image--689222152.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipfBhWYp3AATiHWLjwHmq-pjU9sOWJFzBvjSE8mkTB6-RfVbG6cqzKr6o1rqkznTNjQL2EJlpEhQDezuZaUFTGDOMkuEOTSmp0XINvo4kFiNCEBFDw0iYfsfo1IZwxxcwjlY0IwsCJmIg/s640/blogger-image--689222152.jpg"></a>After the party ended the girls asked if there cousins could come for a sleepover. Because they don't live in the same town as us so we don't see them as often as the girls would like so we of course said yes. So the rest of the afternoon was spent amusing 4 children with games and some TV. Everyone had a great time although I'm sure I will be really tired tomorrow it was lovely to see the girls playing with there cousins and having so much fun. </div>Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03761128577617590156noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083082627513049220.post-9675325122026987692014-04-18T13:43:00.001-07:002014-04-18T13:44:18.156-07:00Feeding the ducks, and making grass heads!<br />

Hello and welcome to another day with my beautiful family. Today was one of those days where i woke up and thought oh dear today is going to be a long day unless i make a plan now. A bit of back story now, you see daddy has been working very long hours for the past couple of weeks because lets me honest extra money in the summer is always nice to have, and so the girls have missed out on some daddy time because he has often left the house before there tired little heads even think of waking up. Well this morning daddy left before the girls had emerged from there bedrooms but alas not before miss Layla had woken up. Resulting in her hearing daddy leave and watching him drive away from her bedroom window and realising today was another day without daddy. This led to me being frantically woken up with a very distressed little lamb crying her little heart out because "i just miss my daddy." So cute but not at 8am before i have even had time to figure out what is causing so much dismay. <br />
A few mummy cuddles later and she was back to her normal self and both girls were running around laughing and playing, but it wasn't to last. Layla having started her day with tears was very emotional and this resulted in what would normally be a minor disagreement being blown way out of proportion and me hearing "mmmmuuuuuummmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyy!" way more than i would have liked, that's when i realised before i even stepped out of bed that if we were going to get through the day without lots of silly argument's between the girls we needed a plan. Luck was on my side and the weather didn't look to bad outside so i thought lets do something both girls enjoy and thus far this Easter we hadn't done, let go and feed the ducks. <br />
So we did, we had breakfast got dressed and already with the promise of doing something fun if they got ready nicely we were having a much better day. Off went to the shops to get some bread and we were off to the duck pond. When we arrived luck was once as we were the only people there and there were ducks and birds at the pond we had never seen there before. We also got to see a swan in a nest looking after some eggs.The girls were very excited by this i think mainly because of its sheer size (this thing was huge) and the fact it was there first real life nest. We finished up our bread and we watched the ducks for a while before heading home for lunch. <br />
After lunch Courtney said "what are we going to do this afternoon mummy?" So we decided to do something we have been waiting all week for a rainy day to do (it wasnt raining but we really wanted to try this out). We made our grass heads. The girls each drew themselves ready to stick on there cups.<br />
Here's Layla's:<br />

We stuck them to some plastic cups ready for fill with soil and grass seed,we even made one for daddy. We will see how they turn out but the girls are very excited. So after a hard start we wound up having a really good day and went to bed with smiles all round.

School holidays, where do you start keeping your children entertained when they have no school for 2 weeks and the weather outside is very hit and miss. <br />
This half term we decided to make he most of any sunshine that we did get as it is never a guarantee around here that you will get any. We live in a small town and as much as my girls love the beach we decided to stay closer to home for these holidays as Layla was due to start some settling in session for her new adventure "nursery!" my little girl is growing up. So we have been spending our sunny days going for walks around the woodland and park visits lots of playing in the garden where we are fortunate enough to have a trampoline, swing set, slide and seesaw, helping daddy wash the car. Basically anything that takes us outside. Now the weather is forecast to change come the weekend so no more peek a boo from behind trees and time to turn our attention to indoor activities,I am sure we will have a duvet day with the latest DVD or some painting or model making. ill be sure to post about any of the creations we do make in the future. <br />
Our big goal for the nice weather is bike rides, both girls received bikes this year Courtney's first big girl bike (no stabilisers) and Layla's first real bike as a step up from her trike. Now neither girl is very good on the new bikes at this point in time but by summer i plan to have them both super confident and whizzing around having a blast :) <br />
For now I'm hoping we get a few nice days to break up any rain for the last part of the school holidays as i find it much easier to fill the days when we can get outside. Layla had the last of her settle sessions today and is so far loving nursery and having that time away with children her age in a group all doing things together. Which leaves us the next few days all together as a complete unit to enjoy Easter, I'm sure there is an egg hunt in our near future too! It will soon be back to normal with mummy and daddy back to work and the girls back to school, so until then, may the fun continue. <br />

I decided to start this blog more as an online diary for me and my family to look at and to look back on , that kind of thing. if along the way i pick up some readers who enjoy the content that will make me very happy. <br />
Basically I will be posting as often as i feel i need/want to about our day to day lives. What we have been up too, big news, little news and anything in between. <br />
In my family there is me Rachel "the mummy"<br />
Peter "the daddy" <br />
Courtney "daughter number 1"<br />
Layla "daughter number 2"<br />
and our pets Menace and madison the dogs and Angel,Minnie and Midnight the cats. <br />
We are just your average kind of family, we have fun, we have tantrums, we have really busy days and we have days were we don't get out of our pjs and watch Disney all day. <br />
To go along side this blog i have started filming short videos of our day a few minutes long and uploading them to you tube under the channel name ladyluck0211 <br />
I'm looking forward to seeing where this adventure goes and how much we all change from day to day week to week and year to year. <br />
