buying a new bed

After my eldest monkey has practical broken his high sleeper bed which isn't even 3 years old yet, iv decided to buy him a bog standard metal bed, as we are waiting on delivery,  iv decided to start taking the high sleeper down in sections,  all going well with the bits he's already broken, but not having a screw driver it's hard going.

Off to buy a screw driver set now...

kids rooms after celebration

Im not the most tidiest person in the world,  not by a long shot, but after spending 3 days before Christmas chucking out old toys, making the room perfect,  I don't expect it to look like a bomb has hit it after two weeks.

here I go again, clearing it all up and deciding to change it all around so they have a more room to play. after making it look lovely and tidy proud of all the back breaking work I done thinking they would keep it like that.  But no... . A month past and looking like a tip again,  everything in boxes locked away in the cupboard until they can learn to respect it! But funny thing is he hasn't noticed all his toys are missing...yet...

sunday welly walk

On sunday its just me and the boys so we decided to go on a little walk with the dog, walkimg down the road boys had their wellys on splashing in puddles,  then we decided to go through the fields that back on to our house, they were just a bit muddy as it had only just stopped raining so was expecting some mud, but further and further away we got the muddier and deeper it got until we finally reached the cricket field, only to find it totally flooded and so deep even the dog didn't want to cross the stile. So we turned back to go around,  as we were going along the mud was getting deeper and deeper,  the children had both got their wellys stuck in the mud about 3 times each after that my emu boots started getting stuck until they completely came off! Cherub didnt want to walk so he wanted me to carry him, his trousers plastered in mud all over my hoody I gave up wearing my boots took them off and walk with just my socks on, atleast I could walk, told the boys to do the samebut cherub refused and wanted to be carried the whole way back,  after getting to whst I thought was a better bit got met by a ford and there was no way I was going to crossthat hholding cherub in one arm and my boots in the other, so off we wemt in a different direction to get back home, as we don't have a gate into our back garden its a 6foot fence we have to climb, monkey climbed it fine as he always does amd passed him the dog, and then cherubs turn to go over the fence he wasnt having any of it, so off we walked back down a muddy field with cherub on my back to walk back along the road which was flooded to get to our house, atleast the water on the road cleaned my trousers off a bit... next time we go for a walk we will be sticking to the roads!
