My week of photographs 22nd Feb - 28th Feb

Sorry got a bit behind with my photo uploads. No reason at all just have been chasing netflix and a early night over spending nights with my mac. Sorry to my regular reader.

Monday 22nd Feb - Park Days

My eldest found his scooter so desperatly had to go after school. It has got a lot harder with three children wanting to be in different places. Nice to have lighter evenings and sunshine. 

Tuesday 23rd Feb - More Park and more Park

Yet again we were back at the park. My husband left us for Denmark for a few days so we were up bright and early. This is Ami attempting some of the ramps on her balance bike. 

Wednesday 24th Feb - Chilling

We spent most the day at home not really doing much. Ami and Son son can be such a hoot. Here was me trying to get a photo of them to send to Daddy. 

Thurday 25th Feb - Days off

I had a whole day to myself!! which I actually found disturbing to a point. So unused to it so I brought my self a massive breakfast and spent the day in bed watching netflix. I was missing my husband alot so didn't really enjoy it as much as I hoped. 

Friday 26th - Brinner for Dinner

Me and Ast had some time to kill before getting the babies so of we snuck for a cheeky fry up. Was nice to spend some time with him before getting the little ones from nursery.

Saturday 27th - Daddys Home

Everyone was super pleased to have Daddy home. They both argued over who could cuddle him the most. 

Sunday 28th - Broadstairs

We went for a walk to Broadstairs which was super cold so off we went for a quick Ice cream (which is perfect when its a cold day apparently). Nice to break up the day and get some fresh air into the little ones. 

Week of Photos 15th Feb - 21st Feb

Monday 15th - Bat spiderman

We had a chilled out day at home, with it being the first day of the half term we kept it low key. This was Son Son enjoying being a super hero rather than a princess for a change. 

Tuesday 16th - Train Journey Fun

We decided to go to Herne Bay on the train with my sister and her boys. The kids had a good time and even ended up in the arcade. Was nice to waste the day and it not be too pricey either (minus the arcades). We ended the day with a trip to costa coffee as per usual! 

Wednesday 17th Feb - Mote Parking

My husband said lets go out for the day so we did. The first time I have been to mote park and I have to say we did enjoy it. It was a little chilly in the park but great for the children to get some fresh air and my biggest child too ( see photo above). We took our swimming stuff and went to the pool at the park. Whilst we were there the fire alarm went and we were evacuated by the sid of the pool. They had to bring foil blankts to keep us warm. We ended the day in good old Maccy D's which is rather pricy with a growing family of five! Lovely day all in all. 

Thursday 18th Feb - Work Joy

I was at work all day, I shared this picture from the day before as I didn't get round to taking any photos! Doh

Friday 19th - Cat Lady

Another super busy day at work where I worked 13.5 hours with no break crazy got home super late too. Some of the perks of being a nurse I suppose. Saw this cup and it reminded me of one of my friends. 

Saturday 20th - Fun Day

We popped along to the Lark in the Park fun day event which is held by my church as part of its outreach events. Was very popular and great fun, everything was free and the kids had a whale of a time. Such a blessing to the community and to me, you can feel like you have spent a fortune in the holidays. 

Sunday 21st - Son Bear Snuggles

Nothing bets a cuddle with your baby right. I have hurt my back some how so was nice to chill out with my youngest. Chilled out day we haven't done too much. Ami broke the washing machine which is always helpful. Kids aye who'd have em. 

So another week flying by. 

My Week of photos - 8th - 14th Feb

So this week I had put the photos together as a collage as blogger was being a massive pain. 

Monday 8th - Baking

We spend a morning in making cakes and messy play. Was a lot of fun and has showed me how far I have come from being alot care free when they make things. The bottom middle shows how much fun they had. 

Tuesday 9th - Pancake day 

Obviously we had plenty of pancakes, the middle photo is the pancakes I made for the toddlers. We also went to an pancake party where the kids had far too much sugar. 

Wednesday 10th - Bath Fun

So my little ones decided to have a bath in the day in there swimming costumes. Sonny also wore his sunhat, they did love it though. 

Thursday 11th - Glorious Skies

The skies have been beautiful come early evening, really hitting hard that the evenings are getting lighter, a few times this week I have lost track of time thinking it was earlier than it was. 

Friday 12th - Haircut Times

My eldest son got his hair cut, type know the hair do where its al shaved at the side. he was rather impressed apparently 11 girls at school asked him out. 

Saturday 13th - Crazy toddlers

We took the little ones to Canterbury where they were so excited and out of control. The top middle is some of the things we got whilst there. 

Sunday 14th - Valentines Day

Top Left - I worked the late shift at work and it was so so busy. The kind of shift where you need a few more people working with you. You are doing the best you can but not getting anywhere. Came home to a lovely cooked dinner from my husband which was lovely and well needed. 

So here is another week flown by, I have been rather busy so have had no time to blog. Or the time I have had its been watching tv and generally slobbing out on the sofa. 

Photo A day - Monday 1st Feb - Monday 8th Feb

Another week has flown by and I can not quite believe it. Only another week until half term so thats a bit of a relief from school runs, homework and all that jazz. 

Monday 1st Feb - ILS training

In the morning I took the little ones to a local soft play area which the little ones enjoyed. they have a little indoor football pitch which suited Son Son, except the fact they only had one football! The afternoon I had my works Life support training. Which was only 4 hours but went by so quick. Realised that I need to get glasses checked as my eyes were so sore at the end. Maybe it was using my brain for something. 

Tuesday 2nd Feb - Train Adventures

Today I took the toddlers on a little adventure on the train without the pushchair. Was a little bit scary getting on the train but they both behaved themselves and it was only a short journey. 

Wednesday 3rd Feb - Free Zoo

We love pet shops give the kids something to shout and point at. They love to look at rabbits and fish so what better for them than pets at home. 

Thursday 4th Feb - Getting there 

So I have been learning to drive for 10 years! I have my test next month, my driving instructor thought it was hilarious my reverse round the corner so he took a picture. Oh dear. 

Friday 5th Feb - Small Steps

My son has never been one to sit still, he as a toddler hated craft and anything like it. For him to come home with something like this makes me feel very happy. He must have put some time and some effort and it shows he can do it. 

Saturday 6th Feb - Sticker Fun

Well what is more fun than putting stickers on your face. Every time. 

Sunday 7th Feb - After work treats

I left work late meaning I missed my bus home, it was windy and rainy so the only place open was good old Maccy D's. My friends were some youths in shorts and caps they obviously were double hard and could deal with 50 MPH winds. 

So there you are another week has past, these pictures make my weeks seem very strange sometimes. 

Our Week of Photographs - 25th - 31st January

Here is yet another week that has just flown by, can you believe we are now in February. I am not complaining I have never been a lover of the winter. 

Monday 25th January - Whitstable Castle

We ventured to Whistable Castle to explore the surroundings, my friend said there was a cool soft play area that we should check out. It was rather manic and the kids were all a bit feral but nice to get out of the house for a few hours. 

Tuesday 26th January - Toddler Groups

We ventured to a new toddler group which the children loved, we haven't been to one for some time since I work the days that our favourites were on. We may even go back one day lets not be hasty. Ideally I would like one that does more arts and crafts so I don't fell so guilty about not doing much at home. 

Wednesday 27th January - Frances and Rich

We saw our good friend Frances who  came round to tell us the good news that she was engaged. Very exciting she moved to Ireland a few years back so real nice to see her when she comes back for a visit ( her fiancé is here too). She is a fellow nurse well now midwife so often was a good friend to chat medical stuff and actually understand what and why I was moaning about it. Really missed her when she moved too we would watch all our favourite TV programs together and chat random rubbish. 

Thursday 28th January - Coffee Violation

At work my poor coffee cup got attacked by tape, you would think I would make a fresh one rather than this one I had been drinking for hours. Busy day as per usual at work. We did a have a good laugh and I really love days like that, its a relief to come home with a smile on your face rather than be short and snappy because you have had a stress day.

Friday 29th - School Blues

Another day another phone call from the head teacher, I posted this photo just to show some moral support for my eldest who seems to be having a tough time at school. Hoping he sorts it all out soon and with the help of the school we can work something out soon. Other than that I was at work all day exciting life aye. 

Saturday 30th - Broadstairs

My hubby picked me up from work and we popped with the toddlers to Broadstairs to just go for a walk and get an Ice cream. We spent a small fortune in the arcades and I even got told of for bashing the 2p machines, silly machines spent about £5 to win Ami a silly cheap toy. She still wasn't pleased she just wanted an ice cream. We popped into Morellis and had an ice cream, the toddlers had manilla  as they call it. Was lovely actually to do something on an Saturday as my husband is usually at football. 

Sunday 31st - Swimming again

You guessed it we went swimming again to wet an wild, our local swimming pool holds an hour of swimming with inflatables the kids love it. It was a quick turn around as I was working a 3-8pm shift so went to work smelling of swimming pools. The day just went by so quick what with church then swimming then work. Good day though the kids love swimming, we don't take them as often as we can. Its the changing rooms after swimming that I hate its so grim. 

So here we are another week of exciting fun from us. rather average family I suppose. My exciting tales from work and motherhood.... 

Photo 365 - January 11th - 17th

Monday 11th - Pre School Booster 

Poor Ami had to have her pre school booster which she took like a boss. She was so brave and didn't cry. She later went on to say "Mummy why did that nurse hurt me". She was happy to get an brave sticker and a lolly pop. Can not believe she will be starting school in September. 

January 12th - Cold Walks

Son Son not enjoying the cold weather at the moment. He cried the whole way home from school Asti on the other hand was happy to have a photo with his Mumma. 

January 13th - Nap time Tea Time

This is so rare, seriously rare. When you have two toddlers in tow its bliss taking one shopping. He fell asleep I took my chance to grab a quick tea and Percy pig biscuit. Ami went off with Daddy to work for a bit whilst I mulled round the shop. 

January 14th - Work Time Madness 

My husband text me relentlessly in the morning asking if I had taken his glasses to work. He did not realise how busy I was obviously. I had not and infact the kids had actually taken them and put them under the blind apparently. I had a massively busy day where we needed much more staff than we had. I suppose thats the joy of nursing sometimes. 

January 15th - New Cup

Ok I did not take a photo on this day I was very rubbish, sometimes when you work 13 hours in the day its hard to get inspiration. I did though use this cup all day at work. I got it as a secret santa present at work. Sadly the kids have thrown it down the stairs and broken it. Blooming kids sometimes.

January 16th - Photo Memories

Every January I have taken a  photo of these two on the bed, this was supposed to be the third instalment to the collection but I could not get them to stay still for the love of me. I may try again as the photo I got was very grainy. They seriously hate me taking photographs you would think they would be over it by now. 

January 17th - Cold Beach walks 

Heres a photo from our walk this afternoon. It was very cold and poor Son Son was not happy. Was nice to get out and not be stuck in watching the football. I love where we live right by the sea its beautiful. Nice end to our week and my last weekend off for a while. 

Photo A Day 2016 1st - 10th January

SO this year I have decided to take a photo a day, ok this isn't really a challenge for me I always have my phone to hand. Some days may be more challenging when I am working nights or long days but lets see. I tried this back in 2013 but only made it to April. So here is the first offerings of the year.

January 1st

We went into London to experience the New Year Day Parade, something I had never heard off before. Was good fun and the kids loved it, although we were standing in the wring place was good to experience it. It did involve me saying to someone What is your problem? As they rammed there bag into my back as I wandered to find Ami a toilet. Do not know what she thought pushing me with her bag would achieve in a queue. Poor Ami was getting crushed under the force of the lady. They loved going on the trains and seeing all the goings on. 

January 2nd - Date Night

Yes our first Date night of the year gifted to us by our lovely Friend Frances. A very thoughtful gift and a rare chance for us to enjoy each others company. My husband has to be one of the most funniest people I know he makes me laugh when we got out all the time. 

January 3rd - Sibling love

Ami was overjoyed that Son Son had got some pants she said to him "If you wear your pants son son I will give you a sweet". It was so cute they then danced around in his new pants. He soon took them off and wanted a nappy. 

January 4th - Haircut times

Son Son got an haircut, he does look so cute with it cut but I did love the long hair. Wont take long to grow back and he loved having it cut, he was a very good boy. 

January 5th - Playdates with Mates

With the non stop rain we headed to Ami's friend house in which they enjoyed playing together. Its funny to see Ami play with her friends its so much different then at home, at home she bosses Son son around and he will do anything she wants, but friends aren't like little brothers. They enjoyed playing dress up and playing trains. 

January 6th - More playdates with Mates

This this the three off them playing snowball fight!!! Son Son helped me tidy it away. It literally went everywhere.  

January 7th - Back to Work

Back to work after 12 days of annual leave. Was very tiring but nice to be back at work and managing to get a break, eat some food in peace. I look tired not used to getting up at 5:45 its a killer.

January 8th - Husband Treats 

My lovely husband slipped these in my bag for me because he knows how much I love them (well more fruitella but I wasnt complaining). I have cut chocolate for the new year and it was everywhere it was so good having something sweet to eat when feeling shattered at work. 

January 9th - Not much inspiration

Didn't take many photos infact this was the only taker of the day. Not the best ever but my poor husband has a tooth infection and was in a lot of pain. The poor man three hospital visits endless pain killers he now looks like someone has punched him in the face.  Poor chap.

January 10th - A cheat

This photo wasnt from today sorry but the only photo was the toddlers dive bombing a soft toy monkey ( see my instagram feed for that one). I thought I would share a photo of my eldest so it doesnt look like I have missed him out. He is a cheeky chap he has brought heelys today so I expect some broken bone picture here in the next few weeks. My husband is still in a lot of pain today, I had to take the day of work to look after the kids whilst he slept after being awake all night. Me and the kids went shopping and to subway very exciting for them all. We also lost Son Sons dummy on the way home and had to put up with an hour of him crying for his dummy and for Daddy. 

So this is us for the time being, I plan to post every Sunday depending on how much I remember. I hope to remember to take other pictures not just the toddlers. Although they are rather funny and growing up so quick. 

Thanks for reading my ever so interesting week and a bit.
