365 Project - Week 11

My lovely boys on Mother's Day. 
Greek homework

Leo is now getting 'homework'. They choose a book each week to take home and read, then to draw a picture or something relating to it.  I'm helping him as much a I can but they are REALLY hard to read!


Having a go on the see-saw together in the park opposite school, every day he wants to play before we go home, we do usually stop for a quick play!


This is the cute little face I woke up to on Wednesday, it was probably the first time he has woken up happy and it had been possibly the best nights sleep he's ever had!

Agia Napa - Protaras beach path walk

We had a lovely afternoon on Thursday in the sunshine when we went for a walk along a stretch of the beach path we've not explored before.


It's not the best photo ever as he wouldn't keep still, but Leo was so very happy to get a Spiderman costume yesterday. He has been saying he would like one for ages and every day has asked us to go to the 'Spiderman costume shop'! This weekend in Cyprus is Carnival weekend so the fact that everyone is dressing up wasn't helping!


Today I took the boys to my friends house for her daughters 1st birthday party. We had a lovely time and both boys were brilliant. I realised while I was there that I was the Mum of the eldest and youngest children there which was strange, Leo was as good a gold with the younger ones and even though he got annoyed once when one of them wandered off with a toy he was playing with he didn't argue - I guess he must have understood they age difference as usually all hell would break loose!

Louka was great too, and had his first go on a rocking toy!

    That bottom photo is so very cute! I love that photo of Leo on the seesaw, we have a very similar one but you don't need to be an expert to spot the difference!

    Thanks for linking up.

    sometimes they do surprise you and act very grown up and cope with things that would cause a row at home. the picture in the cot is just so gorgeous. At least you did not have snow this week over there

    Aw your boys are gorgeous and lifted mattress? Methinks there's been colds in the house and blocked noses? Hope it's all passed now.

    The sight of the beach in your photos is giving me itchy feet - it's time I went to the sea again begone winter!

    Pretty much, although Louka's not really reached the 'annoying; stage yet so doesn't crawl over Leo and his toys!

I've never written this blog as if no-one was reading it, although of course when I first started no-one was reading it as no-one knew about it.  I was trying to remember the exact reasons I started it, and I think the number one was to document our move to Cyprus,   I can't imagine that I would have thought anything else would have been worth reading but that would have been interesting,  I'd have certainly enjoyed reading someone else's story, and have done many times.  I also thought it would be something to do, and a great thing to look back on,  I realised it was an important point in my life,  new Mum and moving abroad.  I was right, I do enjoy occasionally looking back over old posts,  some I hate but overall I'm pretty proud of my blog.  I do miss it, and considered many times stopping and taking it offline.  I never wanted to officially end it though and so always left it here just in case.  Back in November 2022 I wro...

My best Slimming World recipe EVER! - Cheesy Meatball Pasta Bake

-
Image
Since going back to Slimming World at the start of January I've been making an effort to try some new recipes and keep varying my food every day. Although there is an endless choice when it comes to what you 'can' eat with Slimming World, like anything it's all too easy to fall into a habit of eating the same things day in and day out.  I have many SW cookbooks as well as a folder with lots of recipes that I've collected from the magazine over the years, I've actually made very few though! Last week I decided to try a new one out, and I wish I'd made it sooner! Cheesy Meatball Pasta Bake was a massive hit with the whole family and possibly one of the best main Slimming World meals I've ever made! You need... For the meatballs - 500g extra lean pork mince 6 finely chopped spring onions Dried herbs ( I used about a teaspoon each of basil and oregano) 1tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 tbsp tomato puree For the sauce - 1 finely chop...

13 years in Cyprus and time for a trip

This week sees our 13th anniversary of our move to Cyprus. On 26th November 2009 we ran through Gatwick airport desperately trying not to miss our flight to Larnaca with 3 suitcases, 3 cabin cases, a pushchair and car seat, and of course a slightly confused 6 month old Leo!  Strangely on the 26th November this year I will be flying back to Gatwick for a week's visit for the first time in almost 10 years. (With less baggage, no baby and hopefully not running late this time!) 2019 was an obvious milestone for us, and I wrote about it in my "10 years in Cyprus" post so I will try not to repeat myself by reminiscing on our time here. The last couple of years have been lacking in visitors or major events apart from the obvious so I've not got too much more to add so far.  You can also read the story of our move here "Let's move to Cyprus"  written as we approached our 5th Cyprus anniversary, in which Aaron first brought up the idea of moving whilst we were w...
