Blogtober Day Three

Today the prompt I am using is "Organised Chaos!" This is definitely my life! 

Life with two boys is definitely chaos but it is mostly organised! On a daily basis I have to be organised for what the kids need to take with them to school and nursery! 

James has started taking pack lunches to school now that he has started in year three so that needs to be made the night before to save time the next morning! He also has to take a large water bottle, his reading book and his homework diary. Then on a Wednesday you have to add in his swimming kit as Wednesday is year three swimming day at a local pool. 

Freddie does not need to take that much with him to nursery bar a spare set of clothes which is kept in his bad. He also has a draw string bag on his peg with an extra set of clothes in. We did this because of his allergies in case he came into contact with his allergens aka wheat he would get a bad stomach quite quickly.

When the boys are in school and nursery I have three hours without Freddie to get all my blogging and web design done plus doing food shopping, washing cooking etc. 

And life is about to become even more hectic as I am taking over our local Beaver Colony after the October half term holiday, so I will be needing to allocate at least one of my three hour sessions a week to planning the sessions plus the actual meeting on a Thursday night!

So yes my life is definitely Organised Chaos!

Blogmas Day Three

Today day three is all about what Freddie is getting for Christmas. Now Freddie is only 3 so he hasn't really asked for anything and it's up to mummy and daddy to decide what to get him.

The first thing we have got him is a pull along Ninky Nonk! Freddie is literally obsessed with In The Night Garden and adores the Ninky Nonk so he is going to have so much fun with this! He gets so excited when he see's the Ninky Nonk come on the show

We have a Finding Nemo book. We are starting to buy Freddie lots of books as now he is getting older we want to start reading more with him. 

We have also bought him a Upgrow Creative Kids Digital Camera. Freddie is always wanting to steal my camera off me and even worse he tries to steal his Gaga's camera so we thought we would get him his own kids one. 

We decided to go for this one as it has nice chunky handles for him to hold and it is also pretty robust! We still need to get him a memory card for it, but I think we will probably go and get that in the boxing day sales!!

We have also got him a few matchbox cars that he can play with on the car track he got for his birthday. There is also a threading game where he can thread thick strings through wooden shapes. This will help him with his fine motor skills and I also think James will quite enjoy playing with this as well!

He also has the heat buddy and wash mitt like James. 

Some of the other things we have looked at for him include a cuddly Mr Dinosaur from Peppa Pig, a Hey Duggee backpack and also a George Pig Backpack!

#Blogtober17 Day Three - Cars

So the prompt for today is cars!

Now I actually don't have a car as I cannot actually drive! Yep that's right I'm 32 and cannot drive! But I do plan to change that and learn to drive in the next year! I think if I learn to drive then it will be easier for me to take the kids to my parents to visit! It would mean my mum and dad would not have to come down and pick me and the kids up! We would also be able to drive down to Surrey to see Andy's family rather than having to rely on trains, which are expensive and have to be booked at least three months in advance or the coach, which is cheaper but it does take at least six hours just to get into central London, then it is two trains! 

But if you get me onto the topic of cars then Formula 1 cars have to be my favourite! I love nothing more than sitting down to watch the Grand Prix. My favourite team is Ferrari, obviously because they are red lol. I can remember watching the F1 with my late nannie who used to love watching just to see how many cars would crash on the first lap!

I do love Aston Martin cars as my lovely cousin works for them. He even brought a DBS to our wedding.

As a boy mummy we do have lots of toy cars in our house! James absolutely adores hot wheels and other match box sized cars! But he is always leaving them all over the house, so I am forever rescuing them from the jaws of Freddie who thinks they make the perfect teether!

If I had to own a car through I have no idea what I would have, but as long as it had four doors I would be happy though!
