End of a really nice long weekend. I am on maternity leave now, so today M was off work (he is staying 4 days for a short while), so it has been really nice.


Just to catch up, I had my hair cut recently and haven't posted any pictures, so here...

I am very pleased with it, was keen to get my hair tidied up before the wee-wa-wa arrives. Been doing lots of other preparation including getting a Halloween costume ready for Fidget. Hopefully we'll be able to make N's Halloween party, and if we do Fidget will be dressed as a cat, or maybe it is a bear?! I'll leave you to decide!

she thought it was funny anyway! On Saturday morning we got ready and went out to Ikea, I had hoped to get a rug for the back, but the colour wasn't right. But we did pick up the mask and ears (the cape is from the dressing up box), plus a fluffy mouse, a soft toy for wa-wa and a few other bits.

(BTW, the stripey t-shirt she is wearing she always refers to as belonging to Uncle A - she digs his style!)

At mothercare we got Fidget a new swimsuit, which is just soooo pretty and some new wellies. M worked hard in the garden for the rest of the day. He also used the leftover batter from the breakfast pancakes to make us toad in the hole for lunch, which was yummy.

He also fixed our hot water pump, so hurray we have hot water again!! Fidget got her tools out to see if she could help.

Whilst putting some stuff into the loft and getting down some baby stuff, we found a space hopper which M cleaned up, it is still a bit big for Fidget but she likes the idea!

Sunday was spent out in the garden also, M dug up all the potatoes and onions, he weeded the whole garden and we have now got most of the beds covered with weed membrane so we wont need to worry about it over the winter. I did my best to help by preparing the onions for storage, sorting out the potatoes and storing the garlic. M made us a nice lunch to all eat together, in the evening he cooked a tonne of mashed potato (ones that wouldn't store) so we can freeze it. He was pretty worn out by the end of the weekend but I really do appreciate it, and I think Fidget enjoyed running around helping him out with his various jobs.

Thanks M, you are a superstar.

As I said, today is M's usual non working day and I was at home too. We went to the supermarket first thing and then onto the swimming pool, unfortunately we were a bit late and couldn't get into to pool when we arrived as lessons were about to start. So we had lunch there which was really nice, Fidget played in the play area and then Fidget and M went in for a swim (my ear infection keeping me on the sidelines).

Fidget was poooped out so fell asleep on the way home. Later in the afternoon when she woke up we all made some biscuits in preparation for tomorrow's mummie's afternoon...

there was just time to try them out before bedtime and we all agreed they were super...
