Feeling like a woman!

I must just share my joy at finally hawling my ass out of the house to go for a run!!! It felt great, cap on, ipod on with def leppard blaring, which I have to say is good motivational music to run to, especially when you haven't run for a year! All perfect, especially when you have been feeling like all you are is a milking machine! And to complete the evening of finally feeling more like me, I am dyeing my hair! Yes unfortunatley the grey is slowly creeping from the roots down!!! But all in all, it feels like that tonight taking care of me has started, instead of just caring for my beautiful boys. Hurrah! Hopefully there will be plenty more of this! I think next time going out with some girls for a good old chat and wine is on the menu!

A bit of a novice!

Its very frustrating as someone who is not very techinically minded and a complete novice at this blog thing! That when you try ( okay only the 2nd time i have done this!) and put photos up of your boys that you think are great, that you didn't realise how small the photos would look when you post them up! All i can say is very disappointing! For those who will be looking at them and are interested in actually seeing the photos properley!! Do double click on them! Next time i hope they will be better! But here is my favourite one of Oliver anyway!!

New Photos of the Boy!

Thought it was about time you saw some new photos of Oliver. He is growing up fast and now gives us some really lovely smiles and cute little noises. He is a gorgeous little man and we are very much in love with him.

Here he is looking admiringly at his brother, who he already thinks is fab!

He is a very happy chappy as you can see!

Sam too is doing really well, bless him he has chicken pox but not too badly thankfully. He is pretty much over it now. He has recently started pre school a couple of mornings a week. Its been a bit up and down crying when I leave him which is horrible as you wonder if your doing the right thing! But his crying has only lasted a couple of minutes so we are keeping going with it at the moment. And the last few times he has been fine and enjoyed himself. Hopefully when I take him tommorrow we won't be back to square one as he has had 2 weeks off what with half term and chicken pox! Here is a photo of him on his second day at pre school! Looking quite grown up I think!
Sam is a really lovely big brother to Oliver, and they are both pretty taken with each other as you can see. Most of the time Sam is very gentle and loving but as a boisterous boy, he can't be like that all the time!!

The snowman show-down!!!

Finally got a bit of snow here in Sheffield. Susie made a snowman with Sam (pictured below)...

...so obviously I had to get out there and demonstrate my superiority in the field of frozen character creation - not that I told Suse that was what I was doing!! As you can see, my snowman is far superior... I eagerly await your comments backing up my claim! (and none of this "oh but the little one is so cute!" - this is a serious contest that requires objectivity, not sentimentality!). Mine is here...
Look - its got hands and hair and everything! (I'd also like to point out that Sam gave it three arms, not me.)
