Saturdays...

Sam was so excited this morning.... I've mentioned before I'm sure, how much he loves one of the staff at his daycare, Crystal. Well, they have a very special bond (and she loves Jacob just as much), and it makes me very pleased knowing my boys are being so well cared for and loved by the wonderful Crystal :) 

Our bond with Crystal has formed even more, and she organised with me to take Sam out on a special outing today to the movies and out for lunch etc. Sam was beyond excited to have a day out with his favourite girl.

Waiting, waiting....

Crystal... she is as gorgeous on the inside, as she is on the outside...how kind to take her time out on a weekend, after spending all week with children, to be with my boy. She is a star :)

Sam spent the whole day with Crystal and her boyfriend, who was equally as kind and nice, and they spoilt Sam rotten! He came back after a day of the movies, out to McDonalds for lunch, a visit to Crystals' niece who apparently got on so well  with Sam that the afternoon was full of dancing and playing and to end the day he bought home a bag full of toys that they bought for him.

Jacob was very excited to see Crystal when they got home and to play with the toys that they bought back for him also.

What a special day for Sam!

I had an hour or so this morning at home... alone..! Treat! Jacob and Lewy headed to the shops, while Sam and Crystal were gallivanting around the countryside.... and I enjoyed some peace and quiet.

Ahhh, it is HOT. Very very hot ... this heat wave needs to end!

Best way to stay cool.. chill out on the tiles..

Time to take the Christmas banner down?!

It's a balancing act being a parent right? You miss your time alone, but then you miss your children when you are away from them... all at the same time. My children are a part of me... when I'm alone, when I'm at work, when we are apart, when we are together... I think of them always. I can't rest or relax unless I know they are  okay and happy. I wouldn't have it any other way. Caring about others, loving them, putting their needs before your own.... it teaches me on a constant basis of what life is really about.

Happy Days,
