Who do I hand my resignation in to? - January 6th 2010

I just went to check on the twins as there was an almighty crash up there, had to force the doo open as one of the mattresses was right up against the doo, the fist thing I noticed was the smell of poo, the second thing I noticed was poo.....everywhere!!!! Ieuan was rank! it was all over the bare mattress, all over the sheets all over him, so I cleaned it all up, cleaned up Ieuan and started to try and put their room back together. The eason fo thew noise was that they had pulled the teething bars (you know the cover things you put on the top of the cot sides) well they had pulled those off and were waving them round, Ieuan actually had a jemima puddleduck china money box in his hand when I walked in (christening presents) and I also found a headless birthday boy willow tree figurine, managed to find the head after 20 mins searching!!!! They have a shelf each up eally high with all their special things on, the things that are china etc they were given when they were born/christened/turned one and they were using these teething things to batter stuff down.So after ranting at them about how naughty they were and how naughty babies dont deseve nice things etc (because obviously they understand!!!) I have shut the door on them and have come down to disinfect myself and calm down!!!Seriously how do you get poo out of a mattress, I have scrubbed it as best I can without soaking it because it is way past bedtime aleady and the longe I am in there the more awake they stay and Derek is on nights, so I have put loads of sheets on it and turned it upside down.Honest to God! why are my children so bloody mischevious!!!! (read naughty!) anyone wanna swap? or anyone know super nannys private number!?!?!?

Snow much fun - arf - January 6th 2010

So yesterday the whole of Britain got a big huge dumping of snow! woooooohoooooooo. I was hugely excited but it seems that Derek was even more excited than me, he got up (even though he is on evil night shifts) and wound the twins up to fever point and then we bundled them up and took them out in it. Ieuan wasnt too keen at first but as soon as he saw Seren walking Daddy up the road he decided all was good and joined in, they helped Daddy make a snow man and they ran up and down the street, they loved it, they loved the freedom of being able to play in the street too bless them!!! Ieuan got cold first, just like his Mammy so I brought him in but Seren insisted on staying out with Daddy and she even walked all the way to the supermarket with him and all the way round the supermaket and back again, all the time holding his hand, apparently she only got distacted when she saw they toys in Asda!!! she then had a major strop whilst Deek took Alfie fo a walk and as soon as he got back we all went out to play in the snow again!!!

wooooooohooooo snow days are the best!!!!

Bubbles!!!!!!

My two are obsessed by bubbles, unfortunatley for me they seem to believe that cotton wool is bubbles. last night I was sat on MTW and having a gossip with Karan on MSN when all of a sudden I heard the radio in the twins room come on at full blast, bearing in mind it was off when we took them up and that the radio is on a shelf up high above the chest of drawers. So up the stairs we went and once agin found Seren stood on the chest of drawers playing with the cd player (whilst ather hilariously Ieuan danced and twirled on the floor!!!) she had also emptied the cloth bag full of cotton wool and when they spotted us they both gave us big grins and announced at the top of their voices 'bubbles' (said in a vey funny mock Cockney accent).

We are at a loss at what to so now, we need the shelf for storage same for the chest of drawers, the room is small and we have moved it around as much as possible to try and stop them getting to things like the pipes on the boiler yet Seren is a mini Chris Bonnington it seems!!!!!! she also turns the boiler off/up to full heat/puts it on constant, she is a nightmare!!!

Cotton wool bubbles though are pretty funny especially watching hubby try to pick them all up and put them back in the bag whilst getting mugged by two toddlers sceaming 'nooooooooo bubbles Daddy bubbles'

Cheese Mammy - January 4th 2010

Is what Seren said to me this afternoon when she was ready to go out with her Daddy, she chose to wear a coat she previously refused to wear (fickle!) and then decided that her Christmas hat was what was needed to top off the outfit. So she said 'Cheese Mammy' and pointed to the mantlepiece where I keep my camera!!! So I took the above picture of her, added one of my gorgeous boy too xxx

Baybeeees - January 1st 2010

When the twins were born my parents gave me a heart pendant necklace and I put pictures of the twins inside of when they were first born, I always wear the necklace. I opened it and showed Seren a few weeks back and now everyday without fail she climbs up next to me, grabs my hands and makes me open the necklace so she can see the baybeees, this goes on for a good 20 mins and then off she trots again, both babies are called Ieuan as she cant say her own name yet

Cock is it - December 31st 2009

Cock is it.....is how Seren pronounces chocolate! for short she calls it cock, and shouts it loudly as it is something she wants but isnt allowed vey often! oh I am SO looking forward to our next shopping trip!!!

Back to normality - December 30th 2009

So normal service has resumed! my in laws have travelled back home and it now feels like Christmas is well and tuly over. We spent the weekend with Dereks family on and off and it was lovely to see everyone again and spend some time with them and fo them to all spend some time with the twins. Ieuan and Seren got spoilt again, lots of fantastic new toys and books, in fact we got home yesterday evening and put the twins to bed and then took the Christmas tree down (which took all of 5 mins what with it being a 3ft tree) and the took the dining table apart just so there was room to put all their new toys out!!!

Daddy was in work at 7am so wasnt here this morning when I bought Ieuan and Seren down, they didnt notice all their toys at first (!!!!!!) but suddenly there were 'oooooohs' and the once tidy living room was once again strewn with toys, Ieuan spent loads of time in the play house making dinner on the kitchen, Seren flitted between everything, playing with her shopping trolley, then her aquadoodle, the her dollys etc etc, suffice to say by the time Daddy got home Mummy was exhausted (no nap again for them today!!! I hope this is not something thats going to continue!!)

Alfie is a big bah humbug! - December 24th 2009

Its hard to be a big bad ass gangsta pup when your mums a mentalist!

How to stop Mammy being mad at you - December 26th 2009

Hold hands! its really as simple as that!

The twins have been little monsters today, sceaming shouting, fighting and arguing and just when I thought a vein in my head might finally pop they stood in front of the telly and held hands whilst giggling at each other!!! yes my heart melted, all was forgiven!!

A merry Twin Christmas!!!! - December 26th 2009

The twins had a fabulous Christmas!!!!

We had an early Christmas at my mums where they wee spoilt rotten and loved every minute of it, we then came back up to Liverpool ready to celebate real Christmas Day with Daddy and Alfie.

We woke them at 9am and brought them downstairs where the night before we had set up the pram set and play kitchen and placed out all their presents!! there were lots of 'oooohs' mainly from Seren who ripped into her presents like thee was no tomorrow, Ieuan took a bit more coaxing. They were well and truly spoilt by Father Christmas!!!

We then headed over to Dereks aunties for Christmas dinner and they were spoilt again.

We had a wonderful day, marred by the fact that Derek had to work from 3pm until 11pm grrrrrr, the twins didnt nap at all and were still playing when Daddy got back at 11:30!!!!!

I caved! I cut Ieuans hair!!! - December 23d 2009

We brushed his hair this morning and decided it really did need cutting, his mullet was all staggly as its his baby hair (he has never had it cut) so we washed and dried it and Mammy attacked it with a sissors (and an aching heart lol!)It does however now look like a bob but its tidy at least, and he is still my little dude so all is ok (just *sniff*) above his how he looks now.

SO pi**ed off - December 20th 2009

My hubby is now working Christmas Day, 3pm til 11pm, he is working until 2am the night before so wont get home until 3amish (and that if he doesnt arrest someone as then it will be 5/6am) I am SO pissed off. So the only real time I will get to spend with him over Christmas will be the 28th & 29th when his mum dad, sister BIL and neice are there too! fuming is not the word, all because the woman who was supposed to be working his shift for him is being investigated for being a tw*t and is on restricted duties and so not allowed, nice, you f**k up and get Christmas Day off (and probably the sack but tough shit, dont be a tw*t!) and someone with a young family has to work!I am so mad, I didnt feel very Christmassy before and was on a bit of a downer anyway and now this.Rant over, apologies for the swearing!

I have issues - December 20th 2009

Other than my normal baby related issues and my inability to sleep (which is why I am sat her posting about this now!)I have crushes on the most weird men!My new crush is Russell Howard the comedian, we went to see him last week, very funny but seriously there is something about him! even with his wonky eye and strange teeth!Sir Simon of Cowell, the worlds cheesiest man who shows too much chest etc but my God yes I would!Now we get seriously disturbing! Im a big CSI fan and whilst I have a big crush on Danny from CSI NY why why why why why why am I loving Grissom and Horatio?!?!?!?! I think I have a thing for powerful men (notice though I cant love Mac Taylor, they showed him semi naked once and well his neck is just too long and his chest was too pigeon like, ahhh Im so fickle!) I keep telling hubby to get into CSI at work but to be fair CSI St Helens doesnt have the same ring to it does it?!?! and tbh my hubbys sense of humour is a bit suspect too so Im not sure he as a future as a stand up (he makes me laugh but thats really not saying much as my level of humour is also slightly suspect)See how lack of sleep makes your mind wander..................

SO proud of the dog - December 12th 2009

So we have PMM for our babies but this one is reserved for Alf!

Half way through dinner at a meet with some mummies today I realised that I forgot to put the lasagne in the freezer (hubby made 2 last night and left one on the oven for me to freeze) I resigned myself to coming home to a broken plate, an orange mouthed dog and probably orange everything in his reach etc but he had been SO good!!! Lasagne untouched, he had had no accidents (we are having some issues at the moment with him when we go out) all in all he has been a star, and he was bouncing off the walls when I came in and told him how much of a good boy he was!!!!gush over!

There aint no party like a twin club party - December 10th 2009

Party went great, there was an entertainer who mine took practically no notice of apart from when the balloons came out and then Seren stood very patiently waiting to be given one. They had lots of fun running round playing on the slide etc and even had a present from Santa (as long as Mammy had a hold of them and they could grip on to her!!)

Got their feet measured today - December 10th 2009

and they are both the same size as they were back in September!!!! typical as I could have got shoes in the sale (although there was a hoooge choice for boys but very few for girls) but at least we saved some money lol!

So I got my buggy bar today - December 9th 2009

....it arrived while we at a play group, my neighbour took it in for me, so I ripped open the packaging being all excited an all!!! put it on the buggy.......................and.................................Ieuan burst into tears and screamed until I took it off again Tough! he will have to get used to it, so it is going back on tomorrow! on the plus side Seren liked it and screamed when I took it off! you cant please all of the people all of the time I guess!!

So sad but I am excited about my delivery in 1-2 days - December 8th 2009

we are getting a bumper bar for the buggy!!! woohooo!!! I just pray it means Bill & Ben will be a little happier if they can pull themselves to sit right up etc (the plus side to no buggy bar is though they have AMAZING stomach muscles!!!) yes I am sad!! do I care? well maybe a little but still!

My nephew got hit by a car this morning!!!!! - December 8th 2009

Spoke to my mum earlier and it turns out my poor nephew got hit by a car outside school this morning!!!!My dad dropped him off as usual, checked the road was clear for him and told him to cross, as he was pulling off he heard a bump and saw Jude had been hit by a car, apparently this car just came out of nowhere!!! luckily Jude had one foot on the kerb and was literally just putting his other foot down so he got away with grazing all down his face one arm and a poorly elbow. Thank God he was that close to the kerb it could have been a hell of a lot worse. My dad took him straight to the hospital and he was thouroughly checked over and Jude insisted on going back to school so my mum phoned and asked them to keep a close eye on him, they phoned back an hour later to ask my mum to go pick him up as he was seizing up a bit where he had been hurt and was a bit upset bless him, my dad also didnt go into work as it scared and shocked the living daylights out of him understandably!!So poor Jude is at home now with my Mum and Dad and no doubt being a bit spoilt and feeling very sorry for himself, my heart nearly stopped this morning when my mum told me, Jude has lived with us since he was 10 days old so he is like my little brother more than my nephew, he might be an 11 year old stroppy ratbag at the moment but he is such a lovely lad!
