A Matter of Choice

My second Chinese meal in 4 days, this one was with my friend Claire down in Canterbury. On the way to Gatwick, stuck in traffic on the M25 on a cold, grey rainy morning. I'd forgotten how rubbish that really is! Back home with the boys! Louka and his new cup Poorly Leo yet again, having crashed out on the sofa. I took him to the doctors and he has an ear infection. Took both the boys to soft play and took Louka inside for the first time, he also met my friends little boy and was quite interested seeing someone his own size!

Totally engrossed, playing at his new table. I got my 1/2 stone award this week, all that exercise must have worked! You can never have too many sky photos! Big brother will show you how to do it! First time in his highchair, and it didn't take long for him to discover this game! After ages of trying to show Leo how to hold a pencil properly, I picked him up from school and  he announced that 'My teacher has shown me and now 'I am clever' 

This week started off with both the boys still being poorly and having to take lots of yukky medicine (with bribes of chocolate milkshake and smarties for Leo, and lots of loud protests from Louka)  and 8 lots of nebulisers a day between the pair of them. I'm pleased to say that all the meds have finished now and they both seem fine, Louka is back to his smilely little self and Leo is back to being a rascal. This week, for the first time at least 3 years I got out my slow cooker and used it, making Slimming World Balsamic Braised Beef (recipe coming up soon!) It was really nice and amazingly Leo even ate it too! Apart from the usual, Greek lessons, Slimming World weigh in (down 2.5lb in case you wondered!) we've had a fairly quiet week as the boys have been getting better.  I did however start the 30 Day Shred,   and am now on Day 8, it's been hard work but I'm pleased to say the last few days have been a little easier! Tonight we are getting all dre...

This last week hasn't been the best of weeks! It's been tiring, and stressful with two poorly boys and it's been the first week in probably 2 years that I haven't blogged!  I'm pleased to say they do seem to be on the mend now and hopefully we won't have to spend another couple of days at the hospital this coming week. I am pleased though that despite the lack of blogging I have still managed to take at least one photo each day, so I've passed the point that Aaron thought I'd get to! Obviously there hasn't been much going out which hasn't helped and Leo is going a little stir crazy now (as are we).   We've done puzzles, read books, watched DVD and made playdough funny faces.   This morning he declared he was Spiderman, and with Daddy's help he insisted he had to write a notice. 'Leo is Spiderman, If somebody is in trouble ring the bell and Leo will come' So, here's hoping for a slightly more interesting...

Well they say better late than never so here is my round up of the weeks 365 project photos!  It's been a week of illness here with both boys being ill, and not a lot of sleep happening in our house! Sunday was lovely - the weather was a little warmer than it had been so I took Leo to the park, while we were there he played in the playground and I played around with my camera taking photos of random flowers on various settings! It was Sunday afternoon it all went a little pear shaped, Leo fell asleep on the sofa which is very unusual even after going to the park. He had developed a bit of cough and cold so I decided to keep him off school on Monday.   It was the right decision as when I got back from Slimming World (lost 1lb by the way)  he was fast asleep again at 11am. Throughout the week in between Leo cuddles I was getting ready for my friend Sam's 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'  baby shower on Saturday. It was a great night, all went very well and...

We are into the second week of Project 365, only got to do a few more days and I will have got further than Aaron predicted! I'm enjoying the challenge so far, in fact the most difficult bit is finding the time to visit the other people joining in and linking up with The Boy and Me ! I'm still posting my photos daily which is helping me stay on track but to save me trying to decide on my favourite one I thought I'd also do a weekly collage here too today. We started this week by going to Agia Napa for the Epiphany Celebrations  and a walk round the harbour followed by the obligatory stop in the play area. On Monday I joined a new Slimming World group  and so far have enjoyed getting back on the plan. I've made an effort to cook varied meals and not only did I make soup but also Slimming world Scan Bran Chocolate cake - you know you're having a serious week when you make that! Aaron brought his long awaited new motorbike on Tuesday and Leo was very excited...
