8 Things I Loved This Week

1). Taking the boys to playgroup on monday - they always have a good time, especially tot!
2). Getting our bed back and spending more quality time with hubby!
3). Drinking lots of capuccino from my new Gaggia machine!
4). Going to London - doing the museums and Hamleys - first trip to the big smoke for the little ones! Tot loved the train rides the best!
5). Laughing at some of the phrases tot comes out with these days. A few examples, "That's a good idea", "Bit busy at the moment", "That makes sense"! I laugh and think what a funny thing for a toddler to say and then realise that he is just repeating things he has heard me say!
6). My Nikon D40 - has produced many wonderful shots of my family that I will cherish forever.
7). Having coffee with my mum and tots group. They are my only friends in a 30 mile radius and enjoy spending time nattering with them while watching our little ones play with eachother.
8). Swimming. In fact this should have been at number one as it is my favourite thing ever at the moment. I have been taking the boys twice a week this summer and going three times a week on my own in the evenings. The boys love it and so do I!

It's a boy!

Just found out today that I am going to have a little nephew in December! I am so pleased for my brother and dad as this will keep the family name going. I am also pleased for my two boys as it will be their first boy cousin. I now have visions of many happy summer holidays together at the cottage in Cornwall.

Just a quick one today as the little crabs are asleep and I need to sweep and wash the floor and try and tidy the lounge a bit before they wake as we have a neighbour popping around for coffee tomorrow. She has a tot the same age as mine and as of yet we haven't really chatted properly or given the boys an opportunity to be play mates - apart from a chance meet at an outdoor play area a few months back. That was when we agreed we should meet up and so when I saw them at the leisure centre at the weekend I invited them to ours this week. I hope that it will perhaps be the start of a friendship for me and tot as they seem like a lovely family and would be ideal when the boys get older and want to play out as they live at the top of our close. Anyway, the mop and bucket beckon!!
