Hello again,
Now I know I am posting a day early here but I am trying something out. I am trying to have less screen time over the weekend and spend more time as a family.
There maybe weekend posts but I’m hoping those will be scheduled – family is important and that actually means my husband as well as the kids.
With me working in the evenings I spend hardly any time with Paul, starting now that will be changing – well it is Valentine’s tomorrow so what better time to start!
So my week – well there has been illness pretty much all week again.
Week 7
Day 39
A joint birthday treat for Emmy & Grandad. Emmy was 5 and my Dad 60 so I treated us all to a big family meal with my parents and Paul’s mum. We headed to Pizza Express. I changed up our Tesco Clubcard Vouchers and only had to pay for our drinks.
Emmy loved it when the waiter sang Happy Birthday to her, my Dad on the other hand was rather embarrassed!
Day 40
Emmy woke in the early hours with a stomach bug so was off School, inbetween sofa snuggles we played a few new games.
Day 41
Emmy was still poorly today, feeling rather fed up and was crying, Harry was super cute and asked her if she wanted a cuddle. She replied with a nod and they stayed like this for ages.
Day 42
I couldn’t resist getting this personalised wrapping paper made up from wrap.me, I had seen many reviews and just couldn’t resist making my own – I did it on my phone so the pictures ended up in columns, next time I will use the laptop so I can mix them up.
I do love it though even if it was expensive.
Day 43
It’s been fairy tale week at School this week and today they planted a Beanstalk. On the way home Emmy asked me to take her picture while she said ‘Plant’. My crazy cutie!
Day 44
Emmy made a Valentine’s card at School and only one boy has her heart – her brother. This really cheered him up as he now has Emmy’s stomach bug.
Hope everyone felt better quickly. How adorable that your daughter made a Valentine's card for her brother.
sorry you've had so much sickness, we've all been run down too, it's so tough isn't it! x
Oh sorry to hear about the bugs! They are awful. The sibling cuddling is so cute, I love it when mine do this x
I'd love to get things scheduled to give me a bit more time but not managed it yet. Hope everyone's much better now, I had madam sick here too but because of migraines 🙁 Hope half-term is great! x
Sorry you had so much sickness this week in the family. Hope Valentines with Paul made up for it 🙂
That cuddles photo is too sweet!
Hope everyone is feeling better soon – it does feel like one thing after another doesn't it
Hope everyone is feeling better! Love the wrapping paper! Popped over from TWTW!
Fantastic photos! I had less time online this weekend and it was wonderful!
It looks and sounds like you had a great week x
That first photo is so lovely, as is the Valentines Card!
Aw the Valentines card is so so cute, bless her x
Oh no not more illness. Love the sibling cuddle, that is so sweet, as is the Valentines card. I hope this week is illness free for you all.
The bugs now need to leave you all alone because you've had enough! Hope the meal was lovely, I don't think you can beat Pizza Express for a meal with children.

My friend got some wrapping from wrap.me for her daughter's 18th birthday. I'm terrible with stationery and I think I would end up not using it and keeping it in a drawer!
Sorry to hear about the illness. That wrapping paper is amazing, will go and take a look!

I love the wrapping paper idea! 😀 xxx
Awwwww…the picture of the two of them having a cuddle is beautiful! x
Boo to illness. Hope it's not hanging around too long.
I love that wrapping paper as well. But baulked at the price – think I could just make my own although not as professional
That photo of them cuddling is adorable!!!
your quite right to want family time, they grow all to quick so make the most of it. Saddened to hear about the tummy bugs, always seems to be so much going round at this time of year. The cuddle pictures are lovely, and how nice to make the card for her brother.
Happy belated birthday Emmy and dad.
Thank you for linking to Project 365
Love the idea of the personalised wrapping paper! x
i think you have all had far too much illness this year and i am sending healthy vibes! .. i always post a day early and finish my round up on a friday so i can schedule and spend time with family at the weekends 🙂
Aww this is so lovely! I hope my two will get on as well as yours do! What gorgeous children you have!
Thanks for linking up to #TWTWC xx
I'm pleased to hear that Emmy (and your Dad) had a lovely birthday treat at Pizza Express, swapping Tesco vouchers really does help save money on treats and days out.
How lovely that Emmy made a card for Harry! H made me and my husband a card, but I think he was a little sad that he didn't get one. Hope Emmy is feeling better now.
Awe, how cute is Harry asking Emmy if she wanted a cuddle! That what having a sibling is all about. Bless him! Happy weekend family time!
I had no idea you can get a wrapping paper like this. It looks lovely.
Lovely pics.The one of the 2 of them is so gorgeous! x
Sorry to hear you have had illness. I hope everyone is better soon. I love the cuddle photo and the wrapping paper x
Hope the sickness leaves your home soon. I love clubcard boost it is ace and we love Orchard toys too
It's not fun when your children fall ill but you seem to have coped well and kept them entertained. I like the idea of creating personalised wrapping paper. I may have a go designing one today.Hope you are all well and enjoying Valentine's Day.
Hope all are feeling better soon, you can not beat Orchard games they are amazing !
They are beautiful photos
That wrapping paper is such a lovely idea, though I'd never want to use it as it just gets ripped up! I hope all bugs and lurgies have gone now.
Hope everyone is feeling better soon. Love the photo of Emmy with her beanstalk, bless her and the photo of the 2 of them cuddling is just gorgeous. #365
