What a wash-out the bank holiday weekend was.
We hadn't intended to do much as we are trying to potty train Pearl, but a bit of fresh air wouldn't have gone a miss. Instead, we stayed very close to home, fitting in what turned out to be a rather eventful trip to the library (we bumped into a friend who was having a serious asthma attack and I ended up taking her two children home with us after she got whizzed off in an ambulance) and a family swimming expedition.
A combination of wet weather, a stinking cold and lack of any 'fun' funds due to car repairs left me feeling rather flat and uninspired last week. Hopefully I'll be back on blogging form this week and normal chirpy service will resume shortly.

ReplyDeleteOur weekend was a bit of a wash out as well :(

Love the big girl pants, cute shot! I dunno if it's easier for girls than boys, but my two had to have two shots of training as they weren't quite ready. Lots of scrubbing of carpets! Louxx
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the potty training :) Love the pic of Pearl - you've reminded me I've a similar one of little son in just t-shirt, pants & wellies when he was training too!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the potty training - it's not always as bad as anticipated, boy2 caught on far quicker than my eldest - which was a pleasant surprise.
ReplyDeleteI know what the no-money wet weather blues can be like, maybe you could get some friends over for a clothes swap? Or go to a relative's garden armed with secateurs and get yourself some free cuttings for the garden?
Ah, potty training...such work! Good luck, lovely pictures as ever.
ReplyDeleteOh trust me your weekend was far more exciting than mine, i was revising. I remember when my lil sister was potty training, she always though it was quite novel and more often then not we'd find her almost stuck in the toilet because she would somehow fall in.
ReplyDeleteLove the bottom shot - little bottoms are always the best! It reminds me of my sister who is now 29, she would go around the garden with wellies and no nickers aged about 18 months and just wee into her wellies!! She will kill me for saying that
ReplyDeleteBless Pearl's heart xox Alice love the idea of big Knickers but not he idea of the potty! Good luck, it will all come together soon x Enjoy your half term off and hope the sun shines and plenty of inspirational moments come your way xox
ReplyDeleteSorry to read about your dampened spiriits, I do sincerely hope they are uplifted soon.
ReplyDeleteWarm wishes.
The snail pic looks beautiful. Hope the weather improved around your parts today (and the week with it).
