My Week In Review
Tuesday- Put our 4 year old on a coach (bus) for her first field trip. An hour away to a farm/zoo thingy. Said goodbye to my husband who is flying to the middle east and I am trying not to freak out. Had a nice dinner with some team-mates and their kids.
Wednesday-Took Cerys to school. Entertained Bailey. Took Addison for her second round of immunisations and a weigh-in...16 lbs. 12.5 oz! Held Addison most of the afternoon.
Thursday-Took Cerys to school. Entertained Bailey. Took care of Addison... the usual stuff. Cooked dinner for us and a friend, she entertained the girls for a few hours and helped with baths.
(Addison is looking a little shell-shocked here, can't say I blame her. It's non-stop around here!)
Friday- The usual- school, entertain, cook. A friend came to watch the girls for me so I could have one hour at the gym. It was really needed- 1. Because I have self-medicated with chocolate this week and 2. I needed ALONE time without having to answer 50 billion questions.
Saturday- Woke at 6:50am because it's broad daylight this time of year at that time and I allowed Cerys to sleep in bed with me. I will never let that happen again. I got punched, poked, and smacked in the face all night. So we got up and I fed Addison and the girls ate real quick, we threw some clothes on and went to get some groceries and were home by 8:30am. I cleaned house and prepared dinner and picked up some of our college buddies at their hotel- they are here visiting for a few days. We had dinner together while our kids played. Took them back to the hotel. Came home and put all the girls to bed.
Sunday- I woke up to Bailey's smiling face, it was her turn to sleep in my bed. She did great and I never even knew she was there. We got up and dressed and went to get our friends at the hotel. Then we drove into city centre and got on a Cardiff Sightseeing Bus Tour. I had never done this before and it was not worth it, except that it thrilled all of our 5 kids to ride on the open top bus all over town. (Ok, it thrilled 4 of the 5 kids- Addison slept the whole time) It took about an hour and then we came home and ate lunch. The big kids got to stay up and watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the younger ones napped. We ate dinner and took them back to their hotel.
TODAY- Cerys goes back to school, we will pick up our friends at the hotel and hang out one last day! Then we will be picking up Daddy at the train station tonight! We can't wait to see his pictures and hear all about the Sea of Galilee, the Dead Sea, Petra, and the amazing food he ate!!! I have tried all week not to be jealous of his trip. At least I can re-live it with him through pictures and maybe one day I will get to go too!
I love milk!
