A Cheeky Wee Catch Up

It's no co-incidence that my last blog was roughly at the time MPLST returned to work. Since then, we've been like ships passing in the night. You'd think we'd be used to it, after all, we've been here before and got the T shirt so to speak. Blogging has taken a back seat (as has photographing the kids so much) as we work out that fine balance between earning pennies, and looking after the boys. Obviously, it's not all been bad though - we did also manage a weekend away on our own, and I wasn't wasting that blogging!


In those few months, we've fought a battle with the local council who were going to close the nursery. Decision reversed - result! That was largely down to the Mrs, who waded through a raft of legal documenation and picked out the applicable small print. As a result, O can finish his nursery at the same place, and with a bit of luck, C will get there in a couple of years too.


We also helped organise the school/village Jubilee ceilidh which, as you can see, was a big hit for O who danced the feet off his big sister all night long. Not just his big sister mind, just about anyone who would dance with him. That's when he wasn't totally abusing the buffet - that's what happens when you ration their sweeties on a daily basis I guess.


Little Boy is almost walking too. Just last week, he started to find his confidence and let go of mums hand. Hopefully, we'll get some more pics of that in the next week or so too.


So now we have the holidays to look forward to, well I have the first couple of weeks, then the gaffer gets a rest from work and it'll be her turn.


Hopefully, I'll get back to blogging the random and amusing things that ones kids do, so that we can all cherish the memories in the years to come. If you check the wife's blog, you can see she has tried and failed miserably to do this!
