I got up first thing this morning and sorted the boys out, Ellis was ready for school, then I went back to bed for 45 minutes which was definitely needed.
Rob ran Ellis over to school and then shortly after Sophie arrived with Ted and Max. It was lovely to see her and we did manage to chat a little bit. Leo was a bit of pain though. He loves Ted and as soon as they get together they get really hyper. They scream, run around, throw everything, tip out all the boxes in the playroom and bang the windows. I tried to sit them down at the table with some puzzles, but the pieces just ended up on the floor! I had enough and put Leo to bed.
Half an hour later I had to get Leo (who hadn't gone to sleep), get Oscar dressed and get out the door really quickly for gym class. We arrived a bit late and for some reason I felt very strange. Totally zoned out, bit light headed and not really with it. Luckily, Rachael, who helps out at the class, helped me out.
Straight home after for lunch which neither boy wanted so Leo went to bed and Oscar played for a bit longer.
My friend Saskia came over with baby Keira for a visit. I love seeing Saskia and we can chat and chat and chat. Hopefully we are going to try and meet a bit more often.
Saskia left and Gemma turned up with Ava for a quick visit before picking the boys up from school. We didn't hang around but I did speak to Ellis' teacher to get a quick up-date on how he was doing. She said he was doing amazing, a delightful boy, a pleasure to have around, doing really well socially too. Such great news!
As a treat he was allowed to come home and go on the Xbox for a bit. He was well chuffed with that. Hopefully that will keep him going for a while longer.
I decided it would be a good idea to go to the post office with all 3 boys before going to the doctors for Oscar's MMR jab. We ran up the road, with me carrying Oscar and waited for ages to send one little parcel.
This then meant I was running late for the doctors appointment so it was a mad rush back home and in the car.
At the doctors we waited for 10 minutes before being called in. Leo immediately started messing around with the scales, Ellis sat on the only chair, with his legs and arms crossed and started telling the nurse we were going to Centerparcs in July, and Oscar was trying to wiggle away. I sat down and had him on my lap and Ellis and Leo crowded round so that they could see. I had explained to them what was going to happen. Ellis was rather concerned so when the first 2 needles went in, and there was blood and Oscar screaming, he ended up looking slightly more concerned and quickly cuddled and kissed Oscar. So sweet! Then Leo came over and was worried too. They all banded together and it was lush to see, even in those circumstances.
We got out of there quickly and I took the boys to the park to cheer them up a bit, plus I didn't want to strap Oscar into a car seat straight away. I did a video on my phone but it might not play the sound.
We only stayed for a little while and when it was time to leave I thought I might have problems but they were both as good as gold and hardly complained. Quite refreshing.
Back at home we all had dinner together in the kitchen and I didn't bother with bath time as I just couldn't be bothered to be honest. I spent the last hour tidying up the house. It took an hour too but I'm glad I did it as after the boys were in bed I could just sit.
Leo is off to school tomorrow and I suspect I will go up the yard with Oscar.
