Friday

Not massively in the mood today as Daisy has been possessed by the devil but here is a basic run down on what has happened today: (it IS very basic...)

Breakfast
Ikea - bought an easel, toy train set, 70's style quilt and had meatballs
Punctured tyre - loads of swearing while Daze watched Peppa Pig on the iPad (missed a visit with Gaga)
Tantrum
Tantrum
Tantrum
No sleep, turned into a feral creature
Asda - bigger tantrum
Home, teacakes, tantrum, tantrum, massive meltdown followed by an even bigger one
Wash, attitude, books attitude and bed

So that is your lot apart from a token picture of an easel with chalk on it just before the whole packet was launched at it by an ungrateful child:

And 2 really crap videos:

Hope you are all ok, am heading to bed now, 1945 hrs,  after i check my head for more grey hairs....
Hope tomorrow is better....

Thursday again

Hi there folks,
Daisy decided to wake up at 6 this morning so sod it, we had a cuddle in bed with some books. Then the usual wash, teeth routine and a slice of toast before she has her proper brekkie at nursery.

Isabelle is at nursery on Thursdays and Daze is well aware of this and wouldn't stop chatting on the way there! As soon as we got in, we both got a big hug from Isabelle before Daze ran off with her into the corner to start monkeying!

I went for a coffee, some shopping and did some housework before it was time to pick Daze back up again.  She went straight to sleep so I spent the time looking for a VW T5 as we are going to get a bigger car :0)

When buggerlugs woke up, we decorated her planting troughs, which I bought this morning for her:

I also bought some seeds and compost. We will probably plant them at the weekend:

Then after stir fry, we planted the rest of the Garden Gang pots I had bought. Parsley, chives, chillis, pumpkin, coriander, rocket and basil:

And here is the budding Monty Don hard at it:

So thats another day over and Daze is well sparked now. Might do a trip to Ikea tomorrow and grandad is going to pop over and see us which Daze will love.  Catch up tomorrow for another episode! Love us x

Friday to Wednesday

Been a bit slack I know, but Anna came back from Dartmouth and then there was a problem with my blog which is hopefully now sorted....

Saturday and Sunday was mainly spent hanging out with Mama, Wagamamas, beach etc etc. (and I had a hangover on Saturday!) We also took Daze swimming in her new Peppa Pig costume:

Daisy wasn't massively confident in the swimming pool but she hasn't really been so will try and take her once a week from now on.

Monday, nursery, trampolining and that was that. Tuesday was " I want to wear my new Animal t shirt or I will continually moan day":

We then went around to see Louisa, Nick and his daughter, Bailey. They have a rabbit called Buster that they are looking after for a week or so so Daisy was loving it! (the rabbit was just about as big as she was!)

Nick and Louisa had arranged an Easter egg hunt for the girls, pictures to follow.  Then we went to Fareham for lunch and Daze fell down and got get first properly scraped and bloody knee which she let me and the rest of the country know about!  She keeps lifting up her trouser leg and saying "nearly better Papa, careful!"
Then after a kip, we went to the beach for a wander around.

Today, we picked Charlotte and Abi up and went to Staunton Farm Country Park whwre we once again fed Llamas, pigs, goats chickens etc but it was a novelty for Charlotte who had never done it before so Abi was chuffed with that.  Then the ususal afternoon kip followed by some elementary spelling:

I am very impressed with how quickly Daisy can recognise the letters and know that they spell her name. She has also started to point out the letters A, I and Y when we are out and about which is apparently quite advanced for this age so well happy :0)

After letter practice,  it was off to bed where Daze has just managed to drop off to sleep.  Tomorrow is of course nursery so yet again, don't expect a full page blog post! 

Hope you are all ok, will catch up with you tomorrow for another day in the life of us xx

Thursday

Today was once again a nursery day so don't expect too much!

Up at 7, quick wash, a cuppa and 10 mins in the garden.  Then it was off to nursery and as it is Thursday, Daze couldn't wait to see her mate Isabelle. She apparently had a good time. In September, she is due to go from the under 2's nursery bit to the over 2's so they gently ease them in for an hour or so each week. Daze enjoyed herself although as the other children are bigger, she had had enough after an hour so she went back next door with Isabelle. I'm sure they egg each other on to do things!

The only exciting thing I did was panic buy and stock up on stamps. What a rock and roll lifestyleee I lead!

Then it was back home for a kip while I sat in the garden. Then I woke her up at about 4ish and we went into the garden to play. Daze did some bouncing on the trampoline again then she had a sit down in the tent as it was too sunny.

Indoors then, and Daze decided to try on my Birkenstocks which she now calls "snow shoes"

Then it was a whole bowl of fruit for tea accompanied by a teacake and strawberry jelly. We then did Daisy's favourite impression of how much she hates cabbage. If you imagine the walking dead with a hatred of cabbage, you get  Zombie Cabbage:

This went on for a while! Then it was a long bath and then bed. The small creature is fast asleep now and snoring her head off.

Tomorrow we will head to the beach with Charlotte and Harry for a plahy and no doubt Daze will insist on a teacake from the Penguin Cafe. I'll keep you all informed, probably not until Sunday as Anna is home tomorrow and I'm going to the pub!!  Love to you all, us xx

Wednesday

Well it seems to becoming a trend because Crazy Daisy, decided to get up quite a lot in the night which explains why I have just put her to bed and she is already sparked! Little monkey.

Anyway, breakfast and a little jump on the trampoline before heading to Gym tots where Daze had a really good time with Isabelle and Charlotte. Then it was lunch at Sainsburys before Daze decided she wanted to go home and go to bed, so I duly obliged!

After her kip, it was in the garden but Daze doesn't really like the sunshine and it was quite bright so I let her watch some Peppa Pig in her tent on the iPad:

While she was busy, I tidied out the shed and noticed that there was a Green Woodpecker, a female, on the tree just outside the garden so I tried to take a photo of it:

I think she must have some chicks on the go somewhere as she was carrying loads of food around, nice to see :0)

Then Daisy decided to help me clean the garden which wasn't a massive success:

So then we had some tea which comprised of sausages, sweetcorn, broccoli, spaghetti hoops and a couple of potato wedges which Daze seemed to like so a bonus!  It was then we spotted a small bug wandering around on the floor so I put it on one of her grow pots to have a look at (not the best vid quality as I later discovered the lens was dirty):

After this small nature lesson, we had a cuddle on the couch with some books, a wash and then Daze decided she wanted to go back to bed again, she must be hanging, bless her.

Nursery tomorrow so I'll report back then. Love from all of us xx

Tuesday

So crazy Daze seems to be back on her normal good form, thankfully.  I think she is suffering from clock change jetlag as she is upstairs in bed happily singing away to herself.

I've taught her to sing Manamana by the Muppets and she is trying her best to sing it now!

Today we had a slow start. Had a nice cuddle in bed with some books then played after a leisurely breakfast. Then we had the delights of Asda where we bought some herbs for Daisy to pot:

Will pot them tomorrow at some point. We also bought some chinese lantern solar lights which are currently charging up in the garden so may be able to take a photo later on.

After a smoothie and a tea cake for lunch, it was bed for Daisy for a couple of hours and then she spent 2 hours on the trampoline with Ellie from next door. Then it was noodles, chicken, rice, peas and teriyaki sauce for tea which Daisy called "Wagamama's!"

Then some books upstairs and bed. I think she has finally gone to sleep now.....

I'm going to pop out in the garden with the telescope to have a scan at the moon as it has done its rounds circling the globe and is now back up in the SW sky. Might be able to get a look at Mars as well as it is high enough in the sky.

Gym tots tomorrow and then probably lunch with her mates so will keep you updated.  Hope you are all good, love us xx

Freitag, Samstag, Sonntag und heute

Well, I really can't be bothered as I'm quite tired stonight so here is your run down starting from Friday:

Staunton Country Park, fed the Llamas, pigs, chickens, deer, had coffee came home. Auntie Karen came to stay so we had a catch up and then an early night!

Saturday, went to Portsmouth looking for clothes for Daze and Karen went holiday shopping.  Bit of a disaster as Daze decided that she would take tantrums into overdrive for some reason so I'll just write Saturday off if ok with all of you! But, it was nice to hang out with Karen :0

Sunday, can't really remember what we did as we were both hanging from Saturday from tantrum-fest. I think we had a coffee, some lunch and I bought Daze a trampoline and set it up.  Another hit and miss day as far as behaving so I think the pair of us were glad to see the back of each other when we went to bed.

Monday, Daze went to nursery and is on better form today. She apparently emptied the sandpit on herself, painted the walls of the nursery but generally enjoyed herself.  Then she had a kip and we played on the trampoline!

Then it was tea, a bath and then to bed. Both quite tired so it will be an early night for me as well.  Hopefully a bit more to report tomorrow. Night folks!! x
