This last week has flown by and i can’t believe it is Sunday night again and we are almost half way through March!! So its that time for my week that was….
Monday
saw Burton attend Ladybirds again and Daddy took him which we thought might make a difference to him being upset. He was still upset but the staff said he did settle down much quicker (which is happening every week) and he played outside which he hadn’t down since his very first session 🙂
Tuesday
we went to see my Mum as my grandparents were coming to stay for a few days and we hadn’t seen them since Christmas, and in that time my Na (grandad) has been ill with a couple of stays in hospital so it was lovely to see them.
Wednesday
we spent the day at Burton’s Granma and Grampy’s as we usually do on a Wednesday. Two cousins were there today for the boys to play with which was nice for them.
Thursday
we had a friend and her sone come to play which was great for Burton as he and Rhylie hadn’t seen each other for a few weeks now. We made homemade pizzas for lunch and Burton ate about 3/4 of his which is the most amount of pizza he has eaten ever!
After lunch we headed to the park as the sun was out – although once at the park is was surprisingly cold as it is next to the river so its always a bit breezy.
When we got home I made a cake for my mum’s birthday tomorrow.
Friday
and its my mum’s birthday so the boys and I got on and left the house by 9.30am to make our way to her house to make the most of our day with her. My grandparents are still here too so it was lovely for them to see their great grandchildren again.
When it came to her birthday cake, unfortunately Jenson was having a nap so he isn’t in any of the candle blowing out or cake cutting photos! However, Burton loved being allowed to help grandma blow the candles out and did it about 4 times in total!!
After lunch he and my mum and Nan watched Happy Feet and Burton showed them his groovy happy feet moves 🙂
OOOh and I almost forgot that my swimming pool post was chosen as one of the good reads of the week by Britmums (see shiny new badge in my task bar) – I was really pleased and flattered that so many people enjoyed reading it 🙂
Saturday
I had great hopes to do lots of things to do today but it kind of passed by in the end and we didn’t really do all that much.
We visited Jon’s Gran in the morning for an hour. Then this afternoon we took the boys swimming, which proved to be eventful:
- I hadn’t washed the swimming costumes from our last swimming session (yikes smelly damp swim suit alert!), so we had to buy some more so we could go swimming!
- after our swim I discovered that I had forgotten to pack a nappy for Jenson! Luckily I had a spare swimming nappy of Burton’s which. although little big, was better than nothing until we got home!
- stupidly, I wore tights and *note to self* this is not a good idea when you have a baby screaming to be held and you are trying to get tights on using one hand!!
- just as I was about to leave the changing rooms Jenson decided to projectile vomit all one the sink, the mirror and the couner next to the sink!! It went everywhere and all over him which meant that he had to go home in just the swim nappy, his vest and a slightly damp towel wrapped round him!
Sunday
we head out to the park this morning to get some fresh air. Now normally when this happens, usually my suggestion I hasten to add, it goes wrong and someone – sometimes more than one someone! – gets grumpy and we end up walking back home in silence!! However, today was different and we were all smiles and had a lovely time
The hop scotch caught Jenson’s attention and he insisted on being allowed to explore it and he ended up crawling the length of the game!
After lunch while Jenson napped and I did some housework and baked a cake, Jon and Burton went to his Mums house so that Burton could ride his bike and bounce on the trampoline as it was a gorgeous sunny afternoon
it was a great end to the week.

Thank you xx
Sounds like a lovely week. And it definitely feels like Spring with all that time spent play outside. x
I love that you made 2 cakes this week. I only made one 🙁 Hope Jenson is feeling better after his sickness at the pool! Too much pool water? Poor lamb! Looks like you had a lovely week 🙂
Oh cripes, trust the kids to spoil a great week 😉
Lots of outdoor fun there, hope it left them happily tired and sleeping well for you too! I loved your family pictures too. Looks like a happy week all round. Thank you for linking to Country Kids
WOW, what an amazing week you had! your mum and gran look still so young, the boys are very lucky to have them all around, even if it is every 3 months or so. Let’s hope the sun stays out for us so we can all have another sunny week and some more park action!
Wow what a busy week, always lovely to spend time with the family.
Yikes to the swimming, you are braver than me I still wont take mine swimming.
Good end to the week though, beautiful pictures x
Aaahh beautiful family pictures as always that make me smile. It sounds like a fab week except for the projectile vomit!! My week was quite boring in comparison xx
I was reading your post thinking ‘oh this all sounds like a going along lovely’ type of week and then got the swimming pool changing room. How typical that everything happens at once. One crying, you’ve got tights and then all followed by vomit. You deserve an award. When things like that happen it can go either way – you either get on with it or flop down on the floor and have a weep. Well done you because it sounded like you just breezed through it. x
What a fun filled week. Loving the cake and candles. The boys would blow out cake candles every day. It’s the small things. Hugs xx
What a fun filled week and congrats on being a good read- I loved that post. Bless Burton helping blow out the candles four times. And I am so glad nursery is getting slightly easier each time. xx
i am glad i sounded like it was a breeze because inside I was thinking sh*t!!! i just felt sorry for Jenson not having many clothes to wear home! x
thank you – i don’t take them on my own i hasten to add their daddy comes too and sees to Burton in the mens changing rooms! x
What a brilliant busy week!! Your mum looks so young!! And her cake looks really yummy, I could probably dive into that frosting. Glad B is settling down a bit easier now, gives all us terrified mums hope for when it’s nursery time!
I always want to eat after reading about your week! The cake looked amazing! Love the photos, the boys are so cute together xx
