Project 365 2014 – Week 8

Having hubby home over half term has been fantastic and he has finally witnessed how and why I sometimes have a bad day too.

The kids have been monopolizing all his time and often bicker over who can sit on his lap, although they have not been impressed by his much stricter house rules.

The good news is that hubby has passed a telephone interview for a new job this week and has a full face to face interview on Monday so we have everything crossed that it goes well.

Here is our week in pictures:

Project 365 2014- Week 7

 

47.  We went to Corfe Castle where our teddy’s took part in the Teddy Zip Wire activity.  The kids had a great time exploring the castle and learning about its history, but the favourite part was most definitely watching their brave teddy’s in action.

48.  Callan arrived to visit for Half Term, bringing his homework and revision with him – let’s just say that Physics was never my strongest subject so I wasn’t much help!

49.  Eliza snoring surrounded by her Doc McStuffins toys.  We are reviewing the Twinkle Tog sleepsuit and I only wish they did one in my size.

50.  Wednesday saw us take advantage of a fab offer to attend Monkey World.  It was a fantastic day out and Abbey and Callan loved it as much now as when they were little.

51.  We descended on the local park where Sebastian hogged the swing.  It was a bit boggy though after all the rain and Isaac ended up literally covered in mud!

52.  We have been asked to review a Kettler Go Kart.  After an hour of much huffing and puffing by hubby it was finally ready for a test drive and kept the kids amused for hours!

53.  The boys were back out on the Go Kart, so Eliza gave chase on her Microscooter.

Project 365 2014 – Week 7

It has another tough week here.  I couldn’t share last week but hubby lost his job for the second time in 18 months last week and although I have loved having him home to help, the stress of job hunting isn’t a pleasant one especially when there doesn’t seem to be much around that calls for his skills.

Still, life goes on and we made the best of it.

 

week 7, project 365

 

40.  We saw a break in the weather and headed down to the beach aboard our scooters

41.  I am a founder member of a local networking group, supporting mums in business and it was my turn to give a talk about all things blogging.  I expected a couple of people to turn up but there were 26 and I was terrified! (Photo credit to onebusywahm.com)

42.  The weather was horrific so we had a day at home.  I am busy introducing Sebastian to the delights of finger foods

43.  Kian and Eliza help me out with bath time

44.  It was a little chilly today and Sebastian was sporting not one, but two sets of Teddy Bear ears for the school run

45.  We headed out to Build a Bear to review their store and find out all about their Million Hearts, Million Wishes campaign.  They treated Eliza like a Princess and her new My Little Pony has barely left her side since

46.  We had a birthday party at our local Soft Play centre and this was the first time Sebastian got to join in.  By joining in, I mean gazing at himself in the mirror with the occasional tap of a ball!

Project 365 2014 – Week 5

How is it February already?

I have to admit I am glad to see the back of January, although it does appear that the miserable weather is here to stay.  I am desperate to get out and about with the kids but there just doesn’t seem to be anywhere safe to go – the rivers are all in flood, there are high winds meaning trees are coming down left, right and centre – even the beaches aren’t safe at the moment with warnings to stay away.

Here is my week in pictures.

Week 5

26.  Isaac finally got his very own Scootaheadz and did an impression of a Danny Dinosaur Roar!

27.  I visited my old home town of East Preston in West Sussex as I had a meeting with Callan’s teachers to discuss his school work.  It was lovely having a look around all my old childhood haunts.

28.  Isaac got to bring home Peanuts the school teddy, but because he was riding his scooter to school he decided Sebastian should look after him

29.  Kian had a day off school to make his final Options choice so did the school run with us on his scooter, impressing the little children with a few flicks and tricks

30.  I went over to Abbey’s house to help her landlady with some social media advice.  Sebastian and her daughter Senna got on like a house on fire.

31.  We finally bought a new car this week – Isaac laid claim to the seats at the very rear of the car!

32.  Isaac and Eliza making a dash to his swimming lesson.  We moved it to a Saturday as he was finding he was too tired on a Friday night!

Project 365 – Week 4

This week has all been about the build up to Eliza’s 3rd birthday.  I have to admit I did try and keep a lid on it by not telling her too soon but with older, and very excited siblings in the house, it didn’t really go to plan.

Week 4

19.  After weeks of moaning that I was struggling to feed Sebastian in his bouncy chair we finally found a reasonably priced Tripp Trapp on eBay.  He loves being up high and watching everyone else eat but I have to admit I am not impressed with it as I find it very difficult to get him in and out of it.

20.  Isaac attempts to ride two scooters at once

21.  The weather has been all over the place this week and we got caught in a thunder storm on the school pick up before this stunning double rainbow appeared

22.  We went to Salisbury to test drive a new car before heading to Smyths Toys to get Eliza her birthday present.  Sebastian was giving Daddy his best “you know you love me” look

23.  The temperature dropped so it was time to break out the snuggly snow suit and cute bobble hat

24.  Eliza’s 3rd birthday.  She had a wonderful time at her Be My Bear party and this is the first year she really understood what was going on.  We are also knee deep in dolls now, much to her delight!

25.  Our #teamhonkrelay efforts get acknowledged in the local paper!

Project 365 – Week 3

This week has been what can only be described as “EPIC”.

Who knew that when I signed up to take part in the Team Honk Relay that it would completely take over every waking thought, but it has been such fun and thank you to all of you who got behind us!

12.  Dressed as a Prince and a Princess, Isaac and Eliza set off for Nevie’s birthday party.  This is where I was introduced to the delights of the Didicar which changed my plans for the Team Honk Relay

13.  Sebastian wears his bobble hat for the first time and looks just adorable

14.  Isaac teaches Eliza how to play Skylanders Swap Force

15.  My team of Scooter Trainers whip me into shape for my marathon scoot.

16.  Leg 1 of my Team Honk Relay Effort saw me setting off in hail, but just look at the magnificent rainbow.

17.  Leg 3 of the Team Honk Relay saw Sebastian take the baton around the pool after his swimming lesson with Turtle Tots before we headed to Southampton to hand it over.

18.  I was lucky enough to go to the BumpPR 4th Birthday Party and Kara from InnocentCharmsChats and I recreated our Cybher pose 7 months on with our gorgeous boys!
