Allimack gettin back on track

[riahummingbird]

Thanx hun! It really does melt yer heart when yer graced wif 1 of those smiles! lol! How many kids do u ave? Ave u room 4 another!? lol!

We have two boys- oldest is 3.5 and the youngest will be 2 next month. Can always find room to squeeze another one in; might have to wait until Matthew is actually sleeping through the night lol. But then again if you are up with one you might as well be up with two!

Aw bless! I kno everybody always says how gr8 it is when they'r babies but I can't wait 4 Sam 2 get up a bit. I love weans round the ages of yer's, when they'r in2 everything! I'm a big tomboy at heart so I'm really lookin 4ward 2 building lego, playin cars etc n colourin in! lol! I was in Argos the other day getting a few Santa things 4 Sam while they'd the toy sale on n I really wish I cuda got a toy tool set n work bench n stuff but I'l just ave 2 wait 4 stuff like that! lol!

Haha my dh would be buying all of the most impractical things for them- lego technic etc. They are definitely typical boys though; the rough play, the cars, the trains... We took them to Thomasland (of the tank engine variety) in August for our hols and it was awesome!

I have started my Christmas shopping already too, but mine are so spoilt by dh's family in particular (first grandchildren!) that it is hard to find something sometimes.
Babies are great...you can set them in one spot and they stay there... turn your back on mine for a second and they are climbing/breaking/poking something they shouldn't be! The terrible twos are aptly named. What they don't tell you is that they seem to start from approx. 18 months. Or maybe that is just my two monsters...

I always found that by the time I was going back to work (between 9mths-1yr) they were just getting interesting. Had little personalities, could sit, crawl, babble, play.

That's wat I was sayin 2 my friend the other day - I kinda wish I cud take my maternity leave later when Sam's at that interestin stage rather than now when he just eats, sleeps n needs cleaned! lol!

Sam's the 1st grandchild on my side so my folks n my sisters ave him totally spoilt He's the 1st grandson on Chris's side so he's almost as spoilt by them 2! Uck well if u can't spoil a wee baby wat's the point! lol!

Hey hope you got down to the stables ok, you sound so excited! I have never been on a horse lol. I was actually quite intrigued by the ******* deal for 2x 1 hour adult beginner lessons, as it is quite near us. It is probably one of those things most girls do when they are wee lol, but better late than never!

 

[riahummingbird]

Lol just noticed that it starred out that companies name

Well I did get 2 the stables but unfortunately it wasn't 2 ride this week , just getting everythin organised 4 me startin riding again. I was hopin that wud b next week but it's lookin more like the week after now :cry:It wud b much easier if I had my own horse but that's beyond my modest budget I'm afraid! lol! U shud def give it a go if u can hun! Not only is it really njoyable n it's also fantastic exercise! I kno people think it can't b cos yer "just sittin on a horse" but believe me it's gives yer legs, espec yer thighs, bum n abs a gr8 workout. Even yer arms can get toned so it's pretty much a full body workout n much more cardio than u'd 1st think. I was luck enuf 2 grow up round horses so I'v been ridin pretty much as long as I'v been walkin n I just can't imagine ever not doin it! lol!

PS: wonder y it *'d out the company name!?

 

[Allimack]

The closest I have been to getting on a horse was a camel ride haha. I wouldn't hit the camel to make it go because I was afraid of hurting it lol.

You have been doing really well missus, I wouldn't worry about the odd chippie dinner. And I'm sure you are more than burning it off running round after the little man!

lol...it's just what i think...but it if helps then bonus

great news on your wee fella...it really is scary how fast the time goes.
honestly, i looked at my wee one last night and thought when did you get so big? i just love love love him and if i had the chance to have him as a baby again, i'd give him a million extra kisses than the million that he used to get every day.

just trying to get things organised at this end just now...cooking's started later than usual but it's on the go now and i now have a queue for the oven lol x
