I had a sudden burst of energy at 9am after blogging and got the kids dressed. Scarlett has suddenly decided to grow so all her tights were not making it up to her waist and all her dresses were barely covering the nappy area when she stretched and don’t get me started on her pyjamas ! So I decided instead of attempting an internet shop I’d rush to Tescos to stock up on pjs, tights and tops for Tarly and get the food for the week too.
The kids were both positively angelic 🙂 They ate apples and french bread all the way round but were quiet and good – we did sing Dora songs most of the way round, which got us a few odd looks but I don’t care 🙂
Home again and Davies has continued to play with the playdough while Tarly finished off the nap she started in the car on the way home. I have gone through all her clothes bagging up outgrown stuff to give to Rachel for baby A and noting what other bits and pieces she could do with. She only has one pair of trousers now – and about 10 skirts / dresses so she will need more tights and perhaps a couple of pairs of cheapy jeans (Tesco value or Boots basics) to see her through the rest of the winter. I really need to get out of my habit of a) dressing them from the clean laundry basket instead of their wardrobes and b) dressing them in their nice clothes instead of keeping them back for some sort of special occassion – they seem to end up wearing their value jeans all the time and never wearing their cuter stuff – so expect lots of pictures of Tarly showing off her many many dresses 🙂 She also needs some sort of posh cardi to wear with her sleeveless Christmas dress – why do shops do that? Why are the pretty little dresses either short sleeved or sleeveless so her arms are freezing while Davies overheats in his little Christmas jumper 🙂
Mel emailed to cancel lunch, which is just as well as I think a quiet afternoon infront of the TV is in order here, which just leaves the stories for Miranda which I promise I will sort our after I have eaten something 🙂
It’s the same with grown-ups clothes though Nic, I’ve been looking out for a new top for ages but it’s kind of pointless to have a nice one if I’d have to put a woolly jumper on over the top!
Glad your day is looking up, anyway, hope the quiet afternoon is nice 🙂
