"Lets go swimming...."

"Yeah..." the screams were loud and long.... Bags were packed and off we went! The weather here today has been terrible. So cold, grey and rainy that outdoor activities were not what we felt like. Must say the screams of joy when the princess and little man were told we would go swimming instead, were delightful!

"1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10..... Please come up now!" She did, the princess, she loves diving and swims better completely under water!

Have you had a lovely Sunday?

"You're welcome"

The little man and the princess still have so much Easter chocolate left. The little man is not keen on the posh chocolate (Thornton's) but lucky for the mummy and daddy, he is very generous! He gave us these lovely chocolates today when asked which chocolate he wanted after dinner...

He went for some chocolate buttons which he consumed in no time.... Obviously you get very thirsty eating chocolate so a whole glass of water was needed afterwards!

"Thank you for the delicious chocolate, darling" "You're welcome, mummy and daddy"

Mr Men's new additions!

By the princess, the little man and the daddy that is! It was the princess' idea as we by now have read all our Mr Men (and little Miss) books. I guess she felt we needed some new and more hmmm... scary characters! Well, here's the princess' new addition....

Here's the little man's....

The Daddy's might not be scary, then again... All that hair is a bit freaky!

Stories have yet to be written, maybe more characters will be added. We'll have to wait and see...

Did you read Mr Men and Little Miss when you were little?? What do you think about our new additions?

Never judge a book by it's cover....

Some say! Shouldn't that also apply to people? I think so, what about you?

And now it's finally gone....

It's the little man's temperature I'm talking about. This morning it had been gone 24 hours so nursery here we come.... The little man was so ready as well, he has missed his little friends!

The weekend was lovely and relaxed even though the little man wasn't well. Sunday afternoon we went to celebrate our nephew/cousin's Confimation. Lovely speeches, fantastic food and great company. The princess and little man were on their best behavior. When a bit bored at the table, a little break on one of the sofa's playing the princess's DS, was needed.

The hall where the Confirmation was on Sunday, is where we're having our wedding. We saw how big the tables are, how many can sit at it etc. Looks like we have got the seating plan just right. We have most things sorted now but I'm sure we'll have forgotten one or two things as we get nearer to the date....

It was more than just a temperature....

A terrible cough and a sore throat has come sneakily during the night. The little man was coughing most of the night leaving him with a husky voice this morning. He has also started complaining about a sore throat.... I spoke too early on Friday thinking it was just a temperature!!
He's a little champion though, happily playing with his glazed over eyes, chatting away with a little husky voice.

He's fast asleep now (asked to be put to bed...) and I hope he gets a less disturbed night (and me...) How did I cope when they were babies and didn't sleep through? A night with broken sleep, when you're not used to it anymore, have left me feeling like I have a hangover.... Needing fatty food, sweets, crisps and drinking coke. Or maybe I'm just using it as an excuse to be allowed a day of unhealthy food....
