What made you smile today?

@Kay The photo of the children frolicking in their wellies is so joyful x

OH is at work. The baby is in bed. Stanley is asleep on the couch.

I am having a well deserved bubble bath in peace. Oh how I have missed this.

Wish I had some wine though

Lilly looked so happy when me and Oreo got home from work today. I feel she truly treats Oreo as part of the family now. Makes me happy

Is it quite tough @Lara_Pigletina ? I've had a series of sploding beds and cushions here recently and may have to get some of the cheaper ones until it all settles down a bit.

I went to bed early (doing the overnight baby duties) and when OH brought Chewie upstairs he jumped on the bed and crashed down on top of me (he had a big day... Playing) and plonked his big face on top of mine, fully intending to sleep like that. Silly boy

Hmm it’s hard to say, luckily for me the Pig has grown out of sploding beds finally. It’s like a plush toy I guess, it wouldn’t hold up to much chewing, certainly!

Today I have put the tent and groundsheet out in the garden to dry properly. Joy clearly wants to go camping again!

I always lay next to Rory until he’s asleep.

Tonight I put him down and laid next to him, he was dozing off and just before he went to sleep he half opened his eyes to check I was still there, gave me a sleepy smile because I was and went to sleep.

My heart I actually melted. I thought the dog had me wrapped round his paw but this is another level

So glad you're enjoying your own dear little lad @Jen!

Honestly, he’s like a different baby to the one from a few months back.
I’m still nackered (as I type this at 5am) but now he’ll go down for his naps rather than having to take them alllll on me and be held constantly and he goes to bed and I get a bit of time to myself on an evening it’s so much better.

He’s gone from crying and whinging and chewing on constantly to hardly crying at all. I knew he was awake just now because I could hear him giggling and babbling away to himself and that’s much more pleasant to wake up to than crying

 

[Jacqui-S]

Aww.. ^^ brought a wee tear to my eye x

 

[Boogie]

That’s great news @Jen.

My two ‘babies’ and their partners are coming home this morning for the weekend. I didn’t sleep last night with excitement!

Today we’ll catch up at home then a meal in a lovely pub this evening. Tomorrow we’ll go for a hike with Tatze, followed by a pub lunch, then we’re having an all afternoon and evening party for 25 people. Mr Boogs is catering, we’re having lasagne, chick pea curry, cheese and onion pie, chilli and lots of different salads.

Spencer is on his holidays with aunty Val (he loves her to bits) as we are off on a walking holiday in the Dales on Monday.

Have a fabulous weekend with your family @Boogie - sounds like you are well organised so you can get on and have fun

 

[Boogie]

They are on the train from the airport. Tatze is watching the door, she knows visitors are coming.
