Sicky Olly :-(

Poor Olly came out of school last night with a temperature on the way – his face was flushed and he had bright red cheeks.  He gradually declined as the evening progressed, albeit managed via calpol and ibruprofen.  He did not sleep well during the night and kept mummy up for a significant portion of the night 🙁

So, he has not been into school today and has been in and out od sorts all day with wanting to be cuddled, then not cuddled etc

This is definitely not the usual temperature issue however, as he started vomiting at around 16:45 and has had 4 episodes of sickyness since then – it is only 17:56 now…

Typically today is Christopher Leech’s 18th birthday, so daddy is going to go along to celebrate with Chris at his birthday dinner, leaving mummy behind to look after Olly 🙁

Hopefully he has got the bug out with the sickyness and he will get a decent night’s sleep tonight…

Fingers crossed little dude….

Sledging fun

We all went to Xscape in Castleford this afternoon and the boys all went into the snow area sledging for Gracie’s birthday party.

We all got kitted out and ventured in and wandered up the slope. Olly just wanted to GO so he just set off, Daddy chased after and so Elly was in tears at the top of the slope :-(. Once we all got the the bottom, that little issue was quickly cleared up and we were off – all having a great time – Elly soon got over being worried about daddy leaving him at the top of the slope and soon became the little smart alec who raced off first to ensure that he ‘won’ the race. 🙂

Here are the only two photos daddy managed to get during the action – apologies for the lack of quality 🙁

We were all doing great for about 40 minutes until poor Olly fell off his sled at the bottom of the slope and fell forward – a face full of the cold stuff. He was NOT a happy bunny :-(. So, given daddy went in on his own with both boys, it was a case of either Elly stayed and played with his friends or he came out with Olly and daddy – Olly wanted out – he was cold and wet and very unhappy. So, Elly begrudgingly decided to come out as well.

We will have to go and do that again sometime as the boys LOVED it – except the face dive of course 🙂

Then daddy, reversed mummy’s car into the fence at home :-(. as we reversed onto the driveway, Mummy pointed out a potential issue with daddy’s car, daddy foolishly looked for said problem and boom…. :-(. Thankfully the scratches have all polished out but the is still a small dent on the drivers side rear wing that will most likely need professional help to pop out – but it should pop out OK from what we can tell. Given that Emily (daddy’s new car) has a small dent on the roof that needs removing, then we can get both done at the same time 🙂

It’s Friday already ….

Incredible how quickly the weeks are slipping by.

We were reminded by the radio earlier in the week tag the are now less than 100 days from Christmas – good job we started with the Christmas shopping last Sunday then 🙂

Poor Olly was tired today – he was up at 5am bright and perky – then has been swimming at school after lunch, so fell asleep in the car on the way home – it’s less than 4 miles !!!

To top it all, the poor monkey rolled over and fell off the couch and woke with a bit of a shock. So we let him sleep for an hour in our bed, thus when 8pm came around, he had no desire for further sleep.

We have another birthday party this weekend – it is Gracie Box’s sledging party at Xscape in Castleford – not sure about the boys, but Daddy is looking forward to the sun in the snow 🙂

The boys have had a great weekend – mummy and daddy had a good one too :-)

Grannies brought the boys back at 4pm today – they have had a fun packed weekend including: bus trip to Halifax, Great Grandma’s, Charlie Fast Tracks, Sunday lunch and a a couple of sleep overs in between 🙂

Mummy and daddy went out for a bike ride with Uncle Tim on Saturday, and then out for dinner to the Kaye Arms on Saturday night (without Uncle Tim although he did kindly drop us off s that we could fill up on champagne cocktails and red wine 🙂

Then, today we have managed to get out to Costco and we have FINALLY got a new kettle – yay. No more 15 minutes to boil the water for Tea 🙂

We have also done our first bit of Christmas shopping – that right CHRISTMAS shopping and it is September….. 🙁

Weekend at Grannies :-)

Granny Cuckoo is coming round after work tonight and taking Elliot and Oliver for a weekend at her house. As usual they are full of it, and just this afternoon Oliver was talking about going to Charlie Fast Tracks – let’s hope they are going there this weekend, or there’ll be trouble 🙂

Hopefully Olly will behave himself as he has been struggling this last couple of weeks with his temper and his attitude in general.

In other news, the Costa Coffee T-Discs arrived yesterday for the new tassimo machine and WOW – they are GOOOOOODDDDDD :-). just need to ensure that we don’t get too much into caffeine and have too many 🙂

With the kids being out this weekend, we are hoping to get out on the bikes for a nice ride out – we both feel like we need the exercise and we don’t often get the chance to go out on the bikes at the moment and certainly not together 🙁
