Your kids are so young...enjoy them.
My baby is 15 tomorrow. He is almost 6 ft tall but still loves a hug:)
Is busy doing lots of jobs around the house...has put away all Christmas decorations in the attic. We are rewarding him for it!
He is going to buy a new mobile and is hoping for cash from all the family!!!! He is such a great lad always does what he is asked to do.
One minute they are being pushed about in a pushchair and the next they are towering above you.
Enjoy your day.
God bless"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream"

Yeah they are still so young. DS1 is 3 today and Ds2 was 14 months a couple of days ago. When baby number 3 arrives DS2 will be just under 3 and a half, and DS2 will be 19 months :eek: We always said we would have them close together so hopefully they will be close. Saying that, DH has 18 months between him and his brother and they don't really get on at all.
DS1 has had a lovely day today, but is shattered now and was in bed for about quarter past 7. Hopefully they won't surface before 8 tomorrow.
Popped into the local charity shop today and got a fleece for me - as I'm growing out of all my clothes at an alarming rate! Also some trainers for DS2 to grow into. Hubby has just nipped out and got some chicken too as he is making a curry. We have been good and not bought any beer though, will just have lemonade
I just wish we could get on an even keel, i.e. start a month without being in our overdraft. Then I could see where all our money properly goes without hundreds of pounds going before we start

Hi there
I used to love to have them in bed for after 7...only a distant memory now.
Its hard work being mam to little ones but believe me when they get older they are great company for each other.
My eldest 2 text each other and keep each others secrets from me.
If you keep being careful you will soon see the od going down. Keep going you are doing well
take care"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream"

Well the announcements have started at work. DH is at risk of redundancy, out of 3 people in his group 1 has to go :eek: He is confident one of the others would get the push before him. Lets hope so!!
I still haven't heard if I will be able to apply for redundancy. Apparently we have another call next Monday, so fingers crossed I will find out something positive then.
Other news is that the boys bunk bed arived yesterday, so we can take DS1's old bed down and put it up for sale. We aren't going to put DS2 in a proper bed yet, as he is still too young IMO.
Our car windscreen has somehow got a great big crack in it! So the insurance are coming out to sort it. It's a £50 excess, so more money down the flippin drain. At least it's only £50 though and we don't have to fork out for a whole new windscreen.Mummy to 3 fabulous boys all under 4 :eek:0 -
We had another call at work today, so I was hoping to find out more about if I would be eligible for redundancy. I dialled in, listened for an hour, and I'm absolutely none the wiser :mad:
Hubby has done the sums and if he takes redundancy he will get 29k. But we would be much better off with him staying, as he gets a good wage, and if I leave too, there is no guarantee we will both find jobs

Just a quick update.
I'm starting to get some baby things together, so we can get them as cheaply as possible and have some things prepared for when little Mr makes his appearance.
I've sent the boys out today, OH has to pick something up from a shop 25 miles away, and then he is taking them to the park.
I really must get off here now and clean up!!Mummy to 3 fabulous boys all under 4 :eek:0 -
