I know we say that the weeks fly by but so do the weekends! We all had a busy one; DH was out on Friday setting up for Saturday’s swimming competition and then out early on Saturday for the day. I spent the day doing home jobs, the washing & ironing and shopping, got to bed late and then up early again Sunday morning as they were all with us for Sunday dinner for Fiancé’s Birthday. They all went home about 4.00pm, DH cleared up and I cleaned, again, we had some tea and were shattered!
The Girls are on half term holiday this week, when all the other schools were off last week, because of the Shrove Tide Match in Ashbourne on Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday. A football match which runs up and down the main road of Ashbourne centre and to the outskirts and takes place over the two days. It is for those born in Ashbourne above and below the river and they are known as the Uppers and the Downers. I always have to make sure when I go to Eldest’s work I go the main road way avoiding the town centre which is completely closed off.
This week is relatively quiet, which makes a change, although DH is at another swimming event, on Sunday this time. I will be quilting again. Tomorrow Jayne and I are out for lunch which will be lovely as I have not seen her since January due to us both not being able to make it in February. I will tell you all about that afterwards.
Little Man has taken to his cot and loves it. The “sleeping bag” he is in is a great invention as it keeps their body and legs warm. I remember when Eldest was in this very cot and you used to put the blankets on him but by the morning they were in one corner and he was in the other! I put him in baby grows for quite a while to keep him warm! On the back of the cot is Little Man’s first quilt I made for him.
He also loves dinner time and is starting to use his spoon but hands are still preferred at the moment!
As you can see it has been very frosty over the last few days, although it is due to get a little warmer later this week. This is Coco’s preferred spot at the moment. This is where the Boys den used to be and we removed it and at the moment it is being called Coco’s Platform, she could run for Government!!!!!
Little man’s bed bag is is awesome!! Love the cot! Coco is the queen of her domain up there! Enjoy a quieter week and lunch with Jayne!
Look at that winning smile on you, Tobey, and your sleeping bag is very cool!
