Joining in with TheBoyAndMe and her linky 365 Project A Photo A Day, Every Day, For A Year! Project 365 – Week 14 Days 89 – 95.
Sunday 30th March – Day 89
My Mother’s Day treat was to be left in bed in peace to watch the Malaysian Grand Prix. Ferrari didn’t win, but never mind! Then Daddy P and Monkey took me out for lunch to a new Italian restaurant in town. The people were lovely, the food wasn’t. But that was forgotten when Monkey told us what a few of the letters were on the shop front opposite. No prompting – a real magic moment. The best Mother’s Day present.
Monday 31st March – Day 90
Monkey decided to polish his own shoes before school – long may that last! He had a good morning at school and his swimming lesson went well, once he let me go. I had the girls over for a curry night and we tested out LOGO, review and giveaway coming soon.
Tuesday 1st April – Day 91
Daddy P scared us to death by being home when we got up in the morning. But Monkey was thrilled to se him, grabbed his glasses and tried them on. Hopefully Monkey will have better eyesight than his parents. Time will tell, I think we have a colour blind issue with thinking green is red, I need to investigate that more.
Wednesday 2nd April – Day 92
We’ve been invited to join the Baker Ross blogger network and we received a lovely parcel of goodies earlier in the week. Monkey decided to make a couple of Easter bags and boxes first. I was really impressed by how well he followed the instructions. He really concentrated and had a great time. I think we’ll be having lots of crafting fun ahead.
Thursday 3rd April – Day 93
A challenging day with a grumpy Monkey! He’d played with his new SoccerSuckers and was getting to grips with licking the suction cups. He thought it was really funny when they stuck to the patio doors.
Friday 4th April – Day 94
The last day of term! Monkey has been asking to bake something all week, and finally we had some time. He actually wore the personalised apron that his Auntie J had had made for him for his birthday. We baked a Chocolate and Coffee Easter Loaf – I just love this photo, he was so happy. My swimming lesson tonight saw me doing backstroke with a float by the end of the lesson but I still need a woggle to do breast stroke from the deep end.
Saturday 5th April – Day 95
We’ve had a non stop couple of weeks so Monkey and I decided we’d have a quiet day at home, we watched my Tooned DVD and then Monkey caught up with some Super Heroes stories whilst I made lunch.
Love the pic of your little one cleaning his shoes – long may it last! #project365
Yes, I have a feeling I might need to frame that photo!
I am a little bit envious of your Mothers Day and how exactly did you get the boy to do his shoes?!!! 😉
He loves to copy his Daddy – we were both in shock though on that one!
Lovely round up, I think the baking one is my favourite such a beautiful smile x
He really enjoys it so much
In bed watching the grand prix, oh my word Mary that sounds like heaven! We had the in-laws over and POD was up at the crack of sparrows! Sounds like you had a great day and how wonderful that Monkey read some letters (will have a nose at that post in a minute!). How amazing he polished his own shoes! Seems it’s been a busy but good one 🙂
It was very considerate of the FIA to schedule a morning Grand Prix for me I thought!
What an action packed week
Exhausting as usual!
The grumpy Monkey photo is my favourite! My husband and I never wore glasses as kids (I’ve worn them for the last few years, he still doesn’t), but both my younger two needed them from an early age!
Daddy P and I both needed glasses from our mid twenties so I’m sure Monkey is doomed!
awww i love his face with the glasses on!!
btw well done on last nights achievement!! you will be swimming like a duck before you know it x
He certainly is a Monkey at times!
Wow, busy week. my two monkey’s do that with our glasses too!
It certainly was, another full on one!
LM stole my glasses the other day, it took me ages to find them again! Your week looks like a lot of Monkey fun.
He loves grabbing Daddy P’s glasses. One of these days he will break them and then there’ll be trouble!
You have had a busy week! Love the baking photo 🙂 And, well done on the swimming x
He really enjoys it which is lovely. Thanks, swimming is getting there slowly.
Sounds like you had a very relaxing Mother’s Day. Sorry to hear the food wasn’t good though. Nothing worse! Lots of great photos of Monkey this week.
Yes, the food was a letdown, but otherwise a lovely day.
he looks very happy in the baking photo. Shame about the food not being good, eating out is not cheap so I hope you passed on your thoughts to them.
Oh yuck at grubby sticky sucker marks all over the glass door……lol
He really does enjoy baking, its something he gets so excited about – lovely to watch.
Sounds like a fun week. Hope you have a great Easter holiday – ours doesn’t start until next week!
Oh wow, didn’t realise that schools finished different weeks!
What a lovely mother’s day (including your magic moment 🙂 ) Sometimes there’s nothing better than a quiet day at home when you’ve been really active up till then
Very true, I don’t plan enough quiet days at home!
What is it with kids and glasses??? My 2 used to try on mine all the time and the grandson does the same!!
Well done with the swimming lessons! I learned when my 2 were learning and loved going to my swimming lessons.
That Easter bag is fab, so simple but really effective.
Thanks for linking up to Project 365.
