What a crazy few weeks! Sorry I have been quiet on here. I suppose that's what happens when you have a little man born in December!
A busy and emotional couple of weeks for both kiddos. A few days to go now til the big man comes down our chimney! Then we can relax... hopefully🤞

Took a day off work today to tidy the garage. Started at 9.10 after the school run. Just finished. 6 hours later. 2 tip runs and a couple of coffees.
Smashed it! 👊
Hopefully we have enough room for any spare toys after the influx of a December birthday and Xmas 😬

Got woken up by a toy monkey hitting me in the face.
Absolute scenes!! Carnage.
Little man is throwing punches at my stomach and girlie is smashing me in the face with her monkey.
I survived. Just!
Off to make breakfast for my abusers now… 🤣

Girlie tells me that I’m allowed to save her from monsters.
Of course I always will but it’s nice to have received the “call up”

Quiet day here today!
Ballet cancelled for the girlie tomorrow so we’re off Xmas shopping.
All she knows is that there’ll be a big tree at the shopping centre so she’s excited 🤣

Sat in a supermarket car park 10 mins away from the airport to collect dear wife.
No one says about this sort of thing in your wedding vows!
She’s landed so that’s a positive. Now time to coordinate the 15 minute collection window.
Work was the easiest part of today 🤣

Solo parenting this evening. Wife is on a flight home from Scotland tonight.
One kiddo asleep and one to go. Girlie told me that she would allow me to do her bedtime tonight as long as Mummy did the rest of the week and that I read her two stories. Reluctantly 🙊 I agreed ❤️❤️

Wife has taken the kids downstairs whilst I lay in bed! Good start ❤️
Lots of screaming and wailing already 😂 I assume it’s the kids and not my wife.
A morning of football and swimming before a roast dinner later.
I’d like to add football and swimming is separate and not a new sport

I’ve been up most of the night with a sickness bug. Today isn’t going to be the day I planned.
Seeing if I can get through the kids breakfast time and school runs without 🤢
It’s going to be fun for everyone involved!

Home from work and Son is crying and screaming. Daughter is kicking her legs on the floor wailing. It’s like the opening scene from Saving Private Ryan.
Wife is in fits of laughter!
I’m going to start the dinner 🤣
