So I sorted out the hallway as it was being used as a dumping ground again and lined up my shoes.. Evie was quiet for a while then in shuffled my Imelda Marcos lol




8 Feb 2010 - Day 39

So half our living room was being taken over by Evie's toys - especially after Christmas and so Andy decided to build her a cabinet to house her books and toys in and help sort the mess out!
It took him two evenings but it looks fabulous! and so so much tidier... can't wait for Evie to see it...




9 Feb 2010 - Day 40

Evie and I went to meet up with some mum's we haven't seen together in ages (Over a year!) today in Watford. It was manic with 5 toddlers and 2 babies but 4 hours later it was a great great day... Evie was asleep within 5 mins coming home and I took a sneaky pic in the car! She was wearing her shades as she was in the front and it was so sunny.

Days 27 - 33

27 Jan 2010 - Day 27

Have noticed that I have left a pile of Christmas books of Evie's piled up ready to return to the library, but just not made it that far!



28 Jan 2010 - Day 28

OMG - don't you hate those days when you wake up late and it just snowballs..... today was that day :( although dressed with a toddler and out the door within 40 mins isn't bad going..



29 Jan 2010 - Day 29

My office ison the edge of town - which can be lovely to look out and see the surroundings.. today out the back one of the horses was in the edge of the woods.



30 Jan 2010 - Day 30

My friends Jay and Gareth held a housewarming party and I was delighted to be able to attend. Was a great night and I had the honour of taking photos... although they aren't all great I like this one of the table.



31 Jan 2010 - Day 31

I got Evie some boxes for her toy storage and when she came home from my sisters she played with them and climbed in them!

2 Feb 2010 - Day 33

Evie was playing Peeka at me on the sofa with her duvet!

26 Jan 2010 - Day 26

Today was crazy busy at work as per usual - so I always enjoy picking Evie up and coming home with her. One of her favourite things is looking for the moon in the late afternoon sky and she wasn't disappointed today. I do wish I had a better camera to capture the seas on the moon as they were very visible today.

25 Jan 2010 - Day 25

Evie needed some more knickers so we went to the supermarket after I finished work so Evie could pick some new ones. These are the right size now as we got the others when she was still in 1.5 yr clothes

Days 18 - 24

Day 18 - 24

18 Jan 2010 - Day 18

I hadn't been at work long when I got a call from the childminder - Evie had been sick at toddler group :( I packed up and flew out of the door to get her and bring her home. She wanted to be snuggled on the sofa and watch Finding Nemo..



19 Jan 2010 - Day 19

Today is dad's 60th bithday.. but there's no point in taking a pic of him as he'd get the hump!

So while I was at work I thought I would take an action shot lol my desk during the day!



20 Jan 2010 - Day 20

Today was a lovely day - we got some Frosty Post! It was from my friend Cerys's mum Pat with a lot of lil bits from the dentist for Evie and I! We both got a certificate to say we were good for the dentist and some brushing charts - I think they are more for Evie lol



21 Jan 2010 - Day 21

Wow - today Evie was telling the childminder that she wanted to be a big girl and use the toilet like mummy and Adele. So when we got home, I put Evie in knickers and we tried the toilet. So I made her a sticker chart to encourage her - Evie helped draw it a bit!
Fingers crossed sher carries on with it :)



22 Jan 2010 - Day 22

Evie had her 2 year check today - she did very well and is on target and above in some areas - I was so proud of her...



23 Jan 2010 - Day 23

My step-son Callum is 8 today! I can't believe he's grown up so quick.. he was 3 when I first met his dad. Happy Birthday Callum!



24 Jan 2010 - Day 24

Evie loves playing with her big brother Aaron. Today she decided that piggy backs were the order of the day! They ran about the house with lots of squealing on Evie's part lol
Also she was fabulous all day with wearing knickers - and didn't have a single accident..... proud mummy moment!

Bought some new washing up gloves... so it was my turn wash the stuff that doesn't go in the dishwasher lol



13 Jan 2010 - Day 13

It snowed again last night - went to work but got sent home as it was too dangerous to be on site. Evie wanted a Snowman - so I made her a Snow-momma! She has this thing at the moment where she asks if you have a baby in your belly so I made her this!



14 Jan 2010 - Day 14

Weather warmed up today - and so did the snowmomma! Her head fell off and she started toppling over!



15 Jan 2010 - Day 15

There is one thing iI have everyday - that is an Activia yogurt - does what it says on the label lol



16 Jan 2010 - Day 16

This weekend we are headed to Jay and Gareth's to have a fun night in with some drinks and the Wii!

Here are our lil girls Kayla and Evie taking instruction from Andy in playing Just Dance :)




17 Jan 2010 - Day 17

Sunday is play day! Here is Gareth running round with his daughter Kayla having a piggy back! She loved it :)

10 Jan 2010 - day 10

Today was another keep cosy day - Andy was working all day and so I had Evie to entertain.... so I decided we should bake something!

We plumped for making brownies :) Evie loves helping mix, weigh and scoop! She is very good with a spoon to open an egg.

Here is our brownie - a bit tasted but will be cut up and put in a box.

9 Jan 2010 - day 9

coldest day in forever in the UK with still inches of snow on the ground. I just want the snow to melt and to get on with life now! Managed to get to the supermarket and then stayed in with Evie in the warm.

I asked Evie if she wanted to play a game, then she went over to pick a Wii game lol I told her I meant something like Connect 4 or Jenga! She picked Connect 4 so we *played* that for hours.

8 Jan 2010 - day 8

ok - so what's new... the snow? nope.. the cold? nope.. lordy! well at least the buses were back running so I had a good chance of getting Evie to her childminder.

She went - and I went to work... did some work and came home! Evie wanted to make more snowmen but the snow is too dry and only stuck to our gloves.. I suddenly realised that our house has loads of icicles hanging off the front of it and then saw our outside tap... EEK! It looks kinda arty but I know that unless it's turned off (and it's NOT!) it may burst... I may live with a plumber but does he remember these things before the weather gets cold..

7 Jan 2010 - day 7

yet another below freezing day today - worst weather in the UK in 30 years (in that case I was actually alive the last time it was this bad!)

Evie and I went to a friends for lunch but I will be back at work tomorow.

I have done enough today and decided that I will take my knitting to bed and see if I can add an inch or so. I am making Evie a little bag to take out with her - and I am making it on the fly!

6 Jan 2010 - day 6

so it snowed all night it seems and this morning we had about 4 inches of snow!

After going out to clear the car of snow I observed some other drivers and took the decision that I would not be driving anywhere today. I am fairly confident in the snow but I will not take Evie in the car in it. She is far too precious to me.

Andy went for a walk to the main road and even decided that he wouldn't be going anywhere.. so we had a family snow day at home! It was lovely to spend time together as I can't remember the last time the 3 of us were just hanging out. We all wrapped up and went out to make a snowman - who looks rather ace if I do say so myself lol

Then Andy and I had a snowball fight in which I was worried I would get pelted but he's got such a rubbish aim that I didn't get hit and dodged and weaved quite easily. Here is our horny snowman! (yes we used frozen carrots!)

5 Jan 2010 - day 5

Well today wasn't better at work... urgh..

Not much of note today.. although Evie now knows the naughty step :(

oh and it's snowing - a weather alert has been issued.. there could be up to 40cm of snow here overnight - something we don't see that often!

Here is my garden about 90 mins after it started...

4 Jan 2010 - day 4

Today was my first day back at work.. was a head scrambler as I expected. Tomorrow will be more settled (I hope!)

After work I had an appointment with my dentist that I was looking forward to! Jessica, my dentist, is female and Swedish and very very lovely! So after I had my check up Evie decided to hop up into the chair.. I hadn't booked her in as I wanted her to see mummy being examined before I took her for her own check up. I need not have worried though - she was brilliant. Sat there with her mouth wide open while Jessica checked all her little teeth, then she checked over 'Bear' too!

For being such a good girl Evie got a princess sticker.. I was good too but didn't get a sticker :(

3 Jan 2010 - day 3

Well it's the last Sunday of the holidays as tomorrow I'm back to work like most of the country.. didn't go out as below freezing for most of the day. I have managed to get 4 loads of laundry done.. and a lot of it dry too.

Evie and I did take some time out this morning to play on the Wii! We were playing Just Dance and Mario Kart! When I asked Evie if she wanted to play a game I was thinking more along the line of Connect 4!

2 Jan 2010 - day 2

Today has been a nice lazyish Saturday - even with the step kids being here - haha. We've watched films - popped to the shops and generally had a nice time.

The only lil moan was the dusting of snow overnight - I am hoping it doesn't lead to any more falling tonight as the week before Christmas we had plenty and it made the roads dangerous - snow falling, turning to slush, freezing overnight and having more snow on the top of that!

Oh - and one more day until back to work :(

1 Jan 2010 - day 1

Again I will attempt to create a project 365 blog - I managed half a year in 2009 but I waited for a pic that I took on a friends device and lost time waiting.

So a new year and a new blog.

My daughter is 27 mths old and like all kids enjoys playing in the garden... mummy however didn't really want to today as it was below freezing out! I wrapped Evie up nice and warm and then she asked for her sunglasses as it was so bright out. I thought she looked awesome :D
