Mini Muffins

We went to Sing and Sign first thing on Monday morning. Ellis always has a good time and was very well behaved this week too.

I managed to get home without him falling asleep in the car, so as soon as we got through the front door, I put him up to bed. He was very tired and didn't wake up for ages.

We had a very late lunch and then took a walk down to the park as the weather was very nice.

As we arrived in the park, we met up with Sally, Nick and Anna, who were also out enjoying the sun.

The kids had a great time on the swings, slide and see-saw.



Next stop was Sainsbury's. We had a little potter about, picked up a magazine and some bananas and then we went into the cafe for some tea and cake.

Ellis scoffed these little muffin things and I had a Cinnamon swirl, which wasn't very nice.



We went into a couple of other shops before going home.

It was soon time for dinner and then bed. Rob made it home just in time to say goodnight.

I then went off to my antenatal yoga class which was really good as Marie, who had her baby a bit early, came in to show her off and to tell us how it all went. She looked great and her baby was sooooo cute.

Today was yet another nice day and it was made even better by the fact that Ellis didn't wake up until just gone 8am!

I was trying to video Dollop moving again but Ellis wasn't having any of it, so we ended up just messing around instead.



I tried to put him down for a late nap but he didn't want to sleep so 30 minutes later he was up and playing again.

After lunch we went over to Sharon and Sophie's house for Mummy afternoon. We spent most of our time in the garden, playing with sand, the slide, toys and garden ornaments. It was all good fun but the Mummies soon realised that we weren't actually chatting about anything, we were just following the kids around making sure they were staying out of trouble.

We had some lush cakes and a few mugs of tea before we briefly went inside.

Just before we went in, Ellis hit his mouth on the rocking police bike. There was a bit of blood and he managed to smear it into my jacket, his eye and his jacket. I cleared it up as best I could and then let him get on with playing. His lip swelled a little and he looked like he was out of the film, The Grinch. Very cute. I didn't get a picture though.

Back at home, Ellis was falling asleep. I tried to give him some food but he wasn't interested and so we just cleared up the living room and went up for an early bath.

He was so tired that he was nearly falling asleep in the bath. That has never happened before and it was so sweet to watch.

I gave him a quick wash and then got him out and into his pyjamas. He didn't want any milk and just asked to go to bed.

Ellis was in bed by 6:30pm and I was showered and downstairs by 6:45pm which was brilliant.

I spent the evening blogging and watching rubbish on telly.
