Recently...
Its been a while.
I've been working. Tired. Focusing on the babies and Simon. Oh and a bug or two.
Here are some pictures from the last few weeks.
Evie had her first cold the other night. Taking the kids to storytimes etc at the library is like taking them to visit a germ factory. She was all congested and grizzly and would only sleep if she was upright on me. so I took one for the team and sat up all night with her snoring into my chest. It was kind of nice and horrid all mixed together.
Simon relieved me at 5am and I got a couple of hours in before ZJ got up and switched on noisy toddler mode.
Zander's curls just slay me sometimes.
Also his inability to go to bed at night was slaying me. He decided that going to sleep was for losers and after spending two nights of going in there every five minutes and remaking his bed as well as locating his dummy we decided to just go hard-ass. He was so not impressed the first night we tried but eventually fell asleep around 10pm, the second night was less difficult and late and by the third night he was back to his old routine. Huzzah!
For the first time in 10 years we have a Christmas tree in the house. There never seemed much point when I was single (although a Christmas during my flatting years we turned the devil 3 pronged spike from a costume I had into a makeshift tree by wrapping it in tinsel and hung baubles on each of its spikes), and the [ex]hubby was not really into the whole thing. The first year I was with Simon I was heavily pregnant and just trying to survive the summer heat without either attacking people with Sporks or melting into a puddle of goo and last year Zander would of just destroyed a tree if we could afford to buy one - which we couldn't. We couldn't even afford gifts and we ended up wrapping up a couple of his toys just to give him something special to do on the day.
I gotta say, last night sitting with my beer in hand and the lights off except for the fairy lights on the tree made me feel so in the christmasy mood. I'm excited to make our on traditions with our kids and share enjoy a nice warm summer.
