I've not written one of these posts for a while, just a little rambling on what we got up to this week! To be honest this week was pretty quiet and uneventful, but I guess we can't be super busy all the time! Abbie's sleep has been AMAZING recently, she's been sleeping straight through for over a week now, which is literally the best thing since sliced bread for me, she usually stirs quite a bit at least, but nothing, just falls asleep and wakes up when it's light out, it's been amazing to feel human, no wonder all you guys who have children that sleep through early on, want another baby! This is easy! ;) We headed off to Longleat on Tuesday, yes again, with it being just down the road, if the suns out, we go! There are still things we haven't done yet and others that we want to repeat! This time we thought we'd go on the Safari again but this time take Abbie out of her car seat and sit on my lap around it (don't worry, it's completely legal). She loved having front row seats and looking at everything! We also had a little walk around the house and gardens before stopping off at the little sweet shop and getting more pick n mix than we could possibly need and of course some surprise eggs for Abbie! (The only way to get her to get back in the car), oh and a cheeky Costa too! We then came home and had a yummy Dominos for dinner before getting Abbie in bed and chilling out with some Sporcle & Great British Bingo! We've also been watching re-runs of Friends on Comedy Central again, I swear I could watch that show all day every day and not get bored!
On Thursday Ben went off to his best friends wedding for a few days, so Abbie & I played out in the garden for most of that, it was lovely and sunny for the most part so just spent some time in our newly tidied garden, yay! Abbie has an obsession with the hose at the moment, she's definitely a water baby! So we made muddy puddles and listened to Abbie's favorite song at the moment, a bit of Taylor Swift & Shake It Off! Saturday Ben came back and sneakily bought a swimming pool, skittles set and some other garden toys for Abbie to play with, so we spent an hour or so just relaxing in the sun, Abbie in the pool with her adorable new swimming costume on and having the time of her life! I can't help but watch her sometimes, just sat there playing, not a care in the world, looking so happy and like she was doing the best thing in the world, takes me back to my childhood and spending most afternoons in a paddling pool too, I remember how much fun I used to have and feeling the way she does!
Today we are off to a fete not too far away, there's animals, toys, cakes, mini golf, ice cream and lots of fun little stalls too! Hopefully the sun will stay out for us, it's meant to get a bit gloomy later on! Fingers crossed! The next few weeks are going to be jam packed so hopefully my next weekly post will be more eventful, my Sister and her family are coming down sometime in the next fortnight so that'll be amazing for all the kids to get together! We don't get to see each other much, in fact it's been about 18 months since we all go together last! We will then are off on our second Butlins trip very soon, so look out for lots of photos on Instagram! I've been trying not to pack everything now, the excitement is too much for me! Can't wait to have a whole week away just the three of us! :) Hope you've all had a good week! x
