Sorry there has been a lack of posts over the last two weeks but it has been hectic, but what else is new. The week before Easter was busy with work and then DH had a meeting every night of that week so that meant it was busy in the evening too, trying to get things done. I have done a few Spring Cleaning jobs, I got Youngest’s room done but it has been put on hold as DH and I were trying to get some decorating done too.
Anyway as this is a catch up Post it will be picture heavy! Here to start with are some little man pictures of a growing boy!
Good Friday DH was at the Garage with Eldest sorting some jobs out and I spent the day sorting the laundry out, Saturday DH was out all day at a swimming event, whoever thought it was a good idea to have an event on Easter Saturday?!!!! Easter Sunday they were all with us which was a lovely day. Monday we had a sort out day and got rid of some old clothes and things out of the attic. Tuesday we sorted everything out to get ready for painting the kitchen, laundry, den and downstairs bathroom. It sounds a lot but all the rooms are connected and this is the ceiling which we had replastered. So far we have done the first bit of the kitchen, the laundry and downstairs bathroom which leaves the second bit of the kitchen and the den to do!
Little Man looks like he has been with his Daddy to work!!! He hasn’t this was just what his babygrow looked like after Daddy came home from work and was given Little Man to look after whilst Mummy sorted the Girls out!!!
Daddy’s home, better behave now!
When you are having dinner and there is an interloper wanting attention!
Honey got more attention than she wanted the other day!!! This is the state of both Honey and Coco after they have been out after all the rain we have had! Nowhere is dry at the moment and does not look like it is going to dry out anytime soon. Needless to say Honey had to have a bath and then the bathroom had to be cleaned afterwards!
Miss Floof has had a busy old time. She does not like it when our home is upside down and I don’t know about you but whenever you are doing a job the whole house seems to be upside down! Well our home does! At the moment the kitchen things are in the dining room, the laundry things are in the sitting room and we are eating in the den at the moment.
Mummy I hope our home goes back to normal soon!
This is Coco’s Mummy, Luna, and her Sister Binx. This was sent after all the puppies reached the big age of two year’s old!!! I really think Binx, on the left, and Coco look so alike!!!!!
Once DH and I have finished painting the kitchen we have our Bathroom, which was renovated at the end of last year, to paint. Fortunately it is only one small wall and the ceiling to do with the specialist bathroom paint. At some point during the year our bedroom needs painting, Eldest’s room needs doing, the landing and staircase need doing and finally our dining room.
Our garden is also in desperate need of a lot of love and attention and I am really hoping that the weather gets better soon and we can get some jobs done. It has been raining a lot again and this happened quite a few years ago when we did not get Spring or Summer really it just rained all the time and I really hope that it is not going to be like that this year!!! Normally I can cope with Winter and it being cold and wet but this year it has got me down. April has begun with the usual April showers. I love all the months as they each have something different to offer but I can honestly say I hate April!
DH has another swimming competition on Sunday and then the Saturday after and work next week and the week after a business exhibition at the NEC for the whole week so another busy two weeks. I am hoping to get the Spring Cleaning done whilst DH is at the exhibition.
I will let you know how things go with the painting and cleaning. I am also trying to declutter as I go so two jobs in one. I have seen quite a few Instagram reels on cleaning and decluttering and feel inspired to get organised!
I hope you lovely lot had a wonderful Easter and thank you for sticking with me whilst life has been going a million miles a minute at the moment!!! I could do with an extra two days in each week but we are getting there.
Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xxxx
