Sally and Anna were going to a new soft play centre in the area and I had decided to join them. I couldn't tell them we were coming as things were way too frantic here. It was really tough getting out of the door today but luckily as I started to reverse out of the drive Sally and Anna drove by. This was great as it meant I could now follow them.
The new centre was great. It had a really good soft play area, all for under 5's, with a little cafe and an extra room for messy play.
Messy play started at 10:30am so the kids had a run around before going into the little separate room.
Ellis decided to do drawing and to play with the sand, while Anna wanted to play with the glue. So much fun and we didn't have to clear up!
Naomi and Iestyn arrived shortly after we entered the messy play area and the girls helped me to take care of the boys as I had to move my car at one point and change Leo's nappy. I don't know what I was thinking about going on a day out somewhere on my own! I'm sure I could do it but I think I may need to be sectioned at the end of it.
Sarah and Toby also arrived but they couldn't find us at first. Toby wasn't feeling very well so I didn't think it was fair to take pictures of him, although he is usually the best kid to take pictures of.
We all had a cuppa and a chat before going to my Mum's for lunch. It is my sisters 25th birthday so we took her presents up for her too.
We had a lovely lunch and then I popped up to the post office. After topping Leo up we all then went to a big Tesco and Argos to do a bit of shopping. I really want to crack on with the Christmas shopping so I think I need to go out shopping on my own soon.
Back at my Mum and Dad's house, Mum cooked me a huge feast of lamb, vegetables and mash potato. It was delicious and I scoffed the lot. The mash potato was just as I remember it from when I was kid, the best in the world!
Mum bathed the boys straight after dinner and I had a quick shower before helping out a little.
It was a bit of a rush as Mum and Dad were going out for Kate's birthday and I wanted to be out of their hair so they could get ready in time.
Leo as I have previously mentioned is quite a dribbler and he is always chomping on something. Well yesterday, I forgot to mention, I was sure I felt a little tooth under the surface of the gum. Then this morning I had a look and he has in fact got a white dot where the tooth has only just broken through! He is 17 weeks 2 days old!
I got home, put Ellis to bed, changed Leo's wet grow and vest, fed him again and put him in bed too. He went straight to sleep but Ellis was still awake at 8:30pm.
I emptied the car, tidied up and then had a lovely chat with Sally and Anna over the webcam. Very cute.
Tomorrow morning is another early start as we are going to view the local pre-school with Sally and Anna. I'm really excited about it and I so hope Ellis likes it. I will let you know.
Then we have the AB group over here and Big Stars class at 3pm! Wow, busy day coming up, I best get an early night, yeh right!
