A new Adventure

The reason i wanted to write this post is to tell you why i started writing this blog.
As a family we were coming out of a really hard season. We had just relocated after wanting to move closer to family for a good few years. Finally we had done it! But we still had things kicking of, And the quote "its not about waiting for the storm to pass,but learning to dance in the rain" was really key for me at that point. I knew we would come out of the storm stronger,more together but it was hard at that present moment.
I guess i was trying and still am really to live in the moment and enjoy what i have. Just to be content. Just to be. Most of the days i am but like anyone there's the pj days. I know its a good sign that things are going ok if i haven't spent anytime crying on the kitchen floor. Lol. So what to do with this blog now, I'm not sure. I'm going to keep it i think. The other blog i have just started The Adventures of Bobby and George is a blog more focused on my kids,and my journey in motherhood so i may keep this one just for me. A place where i can write sporadically,whatever,whenever i like. Lets just wait and see..

My new address

I'm starting a bit of a new project at the moment so ill be blogging from there for the foreseeable future.. please come along and have a look, Lucy x

The Adventures of Bobby and George 

Ten on Tuesday.

This made me smile the other day..

We've spent alot of time with my sister and nephew recently so here's some cute cousin ones.

                                           A cheeky wee down the drain.

                              
                                       Superheros tea of fish fingers and beans


These days Mr 1 is mostly to be found in one of these 2 positions,This one..

                                                   

                                                                   
                                                   Or this one..

I love this photo of Mr 4 waiting for his dad to come home,found him like this and i took a quick snap before telling him to get down obv!

 We had a cheeky night away on our own last weekend and a lie in*sigh*.Lush.

A pic of my lovely lovely mum and me looking freakishly similar.

When all else fails.Keep calm and drink milk.

Ten on Tuesday.

1. I'm currently eating sweet potato wedges for my tea. Hashtagslimmingworldwin.

2.One of the reasons for No. 1 is that i feel rough as a badgers backside today. Do you ever get days where you cant shake the slight head ache, nauseous,dreaming of bedtime kinda days?! And before you ask im not preggo.

3.The other reason for No.1 is that i had a cheese, ham and leek pasty,a packet of McCoys and a slice of chocolate cake for my lunch. Hashtagslimmingworldfail.


4.Me and my G.P. are fast becoming bezzies. This does worry me slightly,think i need to put myself out there and network some more friends over here!

5.I'm a firm believer in putting flowers in the shopping budget. I love having fresh flowers in the house,They make me smile.I picked up this bunch for a bargainous £2 and they lasted nearly 2 weeks..

6.I think i may be addicted to sweet chilli sauce.


7.Does anyone else think they should be seat belts on buses? Sitting at the back of the bus today(you can see the whole world from the back of the bus according to Mr 3.Lush.) for the first time in a while,and i was being swung around everywhere. Despite the choppy conditions me and Mr 3 did enjoy our bus adventure.

8.How absolutely gorgeous is this photo of Mr 1?

9.I follow a blog by a lady in Australia called Seven Cherubs,a friend of hers sadly lost her son a few months ago and her husband suddenly a few days ago.Utterly tragic.She set up a giving page for the blogging community to donate to help the family. Last time i looked she'd raised £20,000 for the family.This restores my faith in man kind.It helps me believes that people are good. Love it. Check out her blog-Seven Cherubs



10.We had a Birthday dinner for my brother at ours last week (this is becoming a bit of a tradition!).It reminded me of how much i love living near my family. My family mean the world to me. And i know how lucky i am to have them and that we all get on so well(as well as family's do like! i hold no illusions). I hope my Children will get on as well as i do with my siblings.I count myself so lucky and privileged to have them. My brother is 24. And you would be hard pressed to find a finer man than him. He's one of these people who when he puts his mind to something,he achieves it.He's so ambitious. He's slightly wild. A total family Man. Loyal. I know he would lay his life down for me or my family. He has this determination which only comes from past adversity.I feel totally accepted by him.And maaan is he gorgeous. I'm so proud that he's my brother.

*please ignore wild hair and pregnant cheeks*

Ten on Tuesday..

Ten on Tuesday.Special edition..

Im always creasing up at some of the wisdom Mr 4 comes out with so thought i'd share a few for my 10.

1.He asked me on Saturday,"Mom what are these balls on my foot? Ankles? What are ankles? Why are they hard and round?"

2. Whats in our skin?


3.How did George like it in your tummy?


4.Why has Daddy got spiders on his tummy and up his nose?


 5.When George was born he was totally mystified why he didnt have any teeth.He would ask me again and again why not!


6."Too big for me and beyond!!!" used to be a popular phrase when he first got into Toy Story.


7.He said to me the other day while carrying a cup of juice"Mom,im a bit spillish arnt i?"


8.Apparently on Disney junior (said in a very slow whisper) 'the magic never ends'.


9.He refuses to call chicken pox,chicken pox. So far we've had chicken pops and chicken cox.Lol.


10.Last but not least.My personal favourite. "Mom.Did you buy your boobies?"

Hope you like the questions and words of wisdom from my favourite 4 year old.

Ten on Tuesday.

So after a slight absence due to sickness bug, Christmas, birthday and new year shenanigans here we are again...Hope i can remember how to do this..


1.I just caught Mr 4(yes he is 4 now!) with his hand actually inside the Christmas cake.Yes inside.Saying he wanted 'just 1 raisin mummy'.Oh well if its just 1 raisin your after,that must make it OK.No one tell grandma please..


2.Mr 4's birthday is 3 days after Christmas,i know,poor lad.It is however kinda his fault.He was due on the 18th but was 10 days late.10 days!! My other boy was 12 days late.My womb is obviously the place to be.Warm. cosy. Obviously they were both too comfy to come out.Or it could be that their boys,and i once heard someone suggest boys are a little lazy.Just a little.Just saying.

3.So Christmas..The prize for the best Christmas card goes to Jessica my OH's cousin.This is what she wrote..

Hope you can read it,Its too cute.I'm very and totally happy with my 2 boys,but one day if i were to have a daughter,I'd like one like Jess Please.Thank you.

4.For Christmas i received just what i wanted and after lots of hints to the hubster he bought me this..

Rules to live by.Its now hanging on my kitchen wall and i absolutely love it!

5.We have this game in our family called 'Ditches'.I may have mentioned it before.Basically my OH piles all the couch cushions on the floor with all the blankets and throws the kids on it.Hang on before you phone social services,As far as i can tell its pretty safe.No-ones had any accidents (yet) and the kids proper love it. i went in the lounge mid game last week to find the baby climbing right up to the top of this tower like climbing thing,i quickly picked him up and Mr 4 said to me "don't worry mummy,he'll just bounce off the floor if he falls off, like he did a minute ago" I tell you Mr 1 is made of strong stuff! He's rock solid.He's a pic so you get the idea..

6.As i mentioned it was Mr 4's birthday last week.We like birthdays in this house,but I'd like all the celebrations spread out a bit ideally.Christmas, then 3 days later Mr 4's birthday,the day after that my nephew's birthday.Its all a bit much for me tbh.I'm getting old..

I love this photo,especially how is dad is giving him a little cuddle.


7.I have LOVED the Christmas telly. I'm a bit of a telly addict and this yule time i have well and truly fed my addiction.Dowton,TOWIE,Christmas crackers,Just Henry and great expectations.Need i say more.


8.Loving Eastenders at the moe. Whats with that horrible Branning brother tho?!


9.Is anyone else totally over winter time? bring on the spring i say, For the first time we have a garden and I'm desperate to get out there.To open up those french doors,eat outside, G&T outside.So excited.And its only the 3rd Jan.Come on March.You cant come soon enough.


10.On the subject of spring.Look what i picked up at Aldi. £1.60.Bargainous.
