It's been half term this week and a bit of a mixed week. The girls were still feeling pretty grotty for most of it and husband caught the lurgy too 🙁
We had a few family days out but to be honest they weren't the most successful. Tired, run down and grumpy children does not equal the most fun but at least we tried!
41. “Exausted and drained” – still poorly, everyone is shattered and a bit grumpy
42. “Fresh air & cuddles” – determined to beat the bug we washed all the bedding, cleaned and went out to play inthe fresh air. The girls scooted whilst Daisy enjoyed being wrapped in the Moby wrap.
43. “Pretty girl & hair bows” – I made lots more hair bows and took pretty pictures of my girls. They still weren't right. They enjoyed a bit of crafty stuff though, making ribbon pictures.
44.”We want Trunki's” – feeling slightly better we took the girls out for lunch and a look round the shops. They decided they needed Trunk's for their holidays.
45. “Painting & Tantrums” – We took the girls ceramic painting today (not too energetic & they usually like it). Unfortunately Rosie got bored after 5 minutes and was tearful & grumpy!
46. “Family day out” – take 2. We took the girls out to Cattle Country. We didnt get to see the animals and It would have been better if it wasn't so muddy but the girls enjoyed themselves.
My favourite picture of the week though has to be this one taken today: number 47. “Biker Girl”. Rosie loves her Strider bike and is getting better everyday! It won't be long before she can cycle to and from School.
Hope you've all enjoyed a great week too.

February 17, 2013 at 12:04 am (12 years ago)Cattle Country! I thought I recognised it! We love going there in the height of Summer when they have the paddling pool in full flow as well, highly recommend it. As for the animals? This time of year I wouldn’t bother to be honest. Love how the first image has a mirroring arm in it.
Thanks for linking up.

February 22, 2013 at 11:11 pm (12 years ago)Wonderful photos. Your girls are simply beautiful but clearly a little grumpy in the first few days of the week! Love the hair bows, I’m always on the look out for pretties for Little Miss’ hair. If someone had told me that I would have been typing that sentence six months ago they would have got very short shrift. Having a little girl has changed me!
