Day 66 should I be offended?
We went shopping and my OH kindly pointed out this product, I think she was trying to make a subtle statement about me....
However I think this is much more accurate....

Day 62; Beautiful Yorkshire
Today has seen me and OH dump and leave the kids with my mother and spend a day celebrating our anniversary, and I will be blogging in due course about our days activities but in the meantime I couldn't resist sharing this glorious picture of the beautiful Yorkshire countryside.....

Day 58; Piano lady
The other day we went to grandpas and the OH started playing the piano. I've never heard her play, I knew she use to and she'd love it if we had our own. She was very good and it was quite soothing, but I was waiting for her to break out a bit of spice girls....

Day 52: pancake day
Today as everyone is probably aware is pancake day, cue pictures of flipping pancakes and a plate of yummy pancakes. The big question I want people to answer though is what do you have on yours? For me it has to be golden syrup, yum yum....

Day 45: Valentines Day
It would be pretty hard not to do today's picture about Valentines. In years since past it was always a day that passed me with no significance. But this year I not only have an incredibly beautiful girlfriend to celebrate it with but also two wonderful children.
Valentines is a day that I've always been a bit weary of as I don't believe you should need an excuse, a day to show your love to someone. That surely should be everyday. But I guess as long as you do keep valentines a regular occurrence in your everyday life there's nothing wrong with embracing this day as a little extra something.
So I awoke this morning to give my girlfriend some flowers, chocolates and some bath soaks, she reciprocated in cooking me a full English and craftily shaped the toast and egg into a love heart.
But what I also just realised is Valentines shouldn't just be for lovers but be for those you love in your life and my two girls decided to give me a picture of there hand prints. How cute.
Happy Valentines Everyone.

Day 44: cookery with eldest
Mummy and Eldest decided to make Chocolate biscuits today in the shapes of animals. This was probably a test run for making her birthday cake this week. First the dough was made and the shapes were cut....
Eldest particularly enjoyed eating the dough and as told several times to stop eating it otherwise there wouldn't be any biscuits to eat once cooked.....
Once the were all cut out they were placed onto the baking tray ready to put in the oven to cook....
Then some were decorated, ER decided to make a Rasta Snail.....
And then last but not least just before bed time, it was time to sit down with a home made biscuit, warm milk and a story. What a way to end a day....

21 off 366
So a nice walk into town today so us come across this.....
now eledest child loves rabbits but this one scared her and she refused to stroke it.

Ahhhh Attack of the giant Rabbit and racing ladies
Ahhhh Saturdays. In Saturdays gone by that a resigned to my past and folklore I would usually spend them waking up, having a bacon buttie (possibly with a hangover) armed witha cup of tea I'd laze around the living room in my very fashionable Teenage mutant ninja turtle lounge pants and batman t-shirt and watch Soccer A.M often laughing and Tubes' random but very funny mad rap skills.
After which I'd then shower and get change, have a walk to the local shop to get something to eat for the evening and place a few bets on the days football action to make it a little bit more interesting before going back home to watch Gillette Soccer Saturday and embarrassing the banter in screen as though I as there taking part in it myself, eager to see if my bets would pay out often ending in heart break and swearing, and being in a sulk against the team who didn't come through for my pay out and swearing that I will forever hold a grudge and hate that team.
However, Saturdays are a different question now, for one I could be working. If not I now spend it with the family. I still place my bets, and try watch soccer Saturday and soccer am although it might be watched as a delay on sky+ later. The bacon butty is also essential to start my day as are the lounge pants!
Last week in my previous post, Smiles,Frowns and one very drunk rabbit You would have read that it was my first day left alone with the 2 girls whilst mummy went out for the day to be an adult. Well firstly thank you for all the kind comments, e-mails and tweets asking how it all went. Well the truth is..... I cheated, the day ended up being spent with my mum, and my two sisters and my nephew and the girls. So in all honesty, I cheated, if I as a footballer it would have been a straight red card for a blatant to footed tackle! (unless you're a Manchester united player as they get away with murder week in week out) as they helped looked after the girls and treated us all to lunch in the process. My family live about 70 minutes away so it was nice for them all to come and help, the girls enjoyed it and so do I. I am sorry I let all you down who read my blog and have been asking how it all went.
However I shall make it upto you all right now as today, this Saturday was a different story. Mummy went out for the day with her sister and I have been left with both girls all by myself, Yikes ! So how has today gone you may ask? So far so good, I woke up in my Muppet lounge pants and batman t-shirt, the missus cooked us a lovely full English breakfast before leaving us. Then I got the girls ready, made a bottle. As I tried getting the pram out of the house with baby strapped in the pram seat flipped 180 degrees so baby was trapped in but facing upside down, I was so scared that she was hurt but no tears nothing, I got her out to check and she cried when i help her, but she is all fine and not a scratch. We got the train into town and all the way there she was looking to me as to say, "you're a numpty daddy fancy not checking the seat was fully fixed on!"
Whilst in town we also saw a giant rabbit which made eldest happy but nervous at the same time as she ironically clutched her beloved rabbit who was made to look tiny in comparison to the giant rabbit. She wouldn't get her picture next to it as she was too scared even if the nice lady tried to get her to touch it. Then we stopped so me and Eldest ER could get a cake to eat after lunch and then we headed home. We got the train and the only time we weren't offered any help on the train today came on our way home. Te train pulled up and we were in a race with a 40 odd year old lady who was determined to beat me, the pram and eldest to the door of the train, didn't offer to help and then tried to make conversation with me on the train, the cheek of some people!
As we got home I fed both children and managed to put my bets on, obviously I couldn't do this in town as firstly children aren't allowed in betting shops but most importantly what sort of Daddy would take there children into a betting shop? So I did it all online, then eldest helped change the youngest child and then proceeded to give Rabbit a change of nappy (I think he was that scared of the giant rabbit earlier her pooed himself)
And that brings us up to right now. Eldest is playing and youngest is sleeping so I think I'll have a cuppa and watch Soccer Saturday. We've had a good day so far no naughty step and no tears, we shall set off soon to Nanny's where we will meet mummy. Thank you for all your kind messages last week, I hope every time I have the girls is as easy as this, me thinks not though.

A Winters Walk.....
Today we had a nice family day. It was a day off work for me and so we decided that we would follow through with a promise to eldest (ER) that we would take her to feed the ducks. We decided to go to the local reservoir and so we needed to wrap up nice and warm as the cold weather was ready to bite at any exposed skin today in all its sharpness. Cue a day of sniffles and red noses upon returning home after being battered by the harsh winds.
Ready to go eldest clutched her rabbit, who unfortunately wasn't dressed for the occasion and this time wasn't dressed by daughter (Rabbit must have been very cold today out on our walk) We set off in the car. Around 20 minutes later we got to our destination. Upon arriving, ER realised that her shadow made her look tall and this was of great fun to her as she is so small it was nice to see her look tall for a change....
We then set off on our path, Myself, Mummy, ER and youngest child TV to find the ducks although TV didn't look too particularly bothered about today's whole experience.....
The muddy path had many twists and turns, the wheels of the pram got covered with mud that we picked up on the way. ER managed to see a squirrel run fats up the tree, but unfortunately it was too fast for her to catch of for me to catch on the camera, so the squirrel remains our little secret. As the path unwound we got to see the reservoir in all its glory....
We decided that this side of the reservoir would be a better side to see the Ducks and so we took this path in our quest to feed the ducks. ER had to clutch mummy's hand so she didn't get blown away, she kept checking over her shoulder to make sure her baby sister and myself were ok and hadn't succumbed to the ghastly winds that were blowing us and chilling us through....
As we walked we saw many other people on walks. some old, some young, some walking pets and some even running away from their pets! All of them nice, and all of them wrapped up (except the one running) and all would pass by and say hello to us.
As we carried on we had more muddy trails to walk on, some got steep and so we had to go slow as little feet struggled on their way. There were many more pretty sights to see and Yorkshire showed its true beauty. ER pointed out that some trees were swimming in the reservoir.....
However TV awoke and still didn't look impressed by our plans to find and feed the Ducks, even though she was being pushed around all day and didn't have to do any work....
But when she was asked she didn't want to go swimming herself because it would be too cold. We got to out furthest point and still hadn't seen any Ducks. I skimming a few rocks in the reservoir. It started to rain and TV needed her cover putting on, so we decided to turn back round and get to the car for some warmth.
As we arrived back, the wheels had plenty of mud on them. We pulled away in the car and went to Starbucks so we could all get warm. ER and mummy had a nice warm hot chocolate whilst I had a Tea and TV had a nice warm bottle of milk all to herself. Maybe another day we will find some ducks and be able to feed them, but today wasn't the day for that, maybe it was too cold, or the Ducks had been previously fed too much?
But do not let this be the last words from me as ER wanted to wave to everyone who reads my blog, until the next post.....

ER needed to be lifted over though to see the reservoir....
But of course a reservoir has to sides and the other side looked far more beautiful....

Fun, theres nothing like it, Fun is defined as "an activity that diverts or amuses or stimulates; "scuba diving is
provided as a diversion for tourists"; "for recreation he wrote poetry
and solved crossword puzzles"; "drug abuse is often regarded as a form
of recreation"
Yet in these recent times of economic dowfalls, nations in debt, a loaf of bread costing more than the third world deficit, its easy to froget aboout fun. Not for a 3 year old daughter though....
She shows us that despite all the Christmas presents and money speant on the festive period......
That the best and most fun things in life....
are definatlley free and simple like jumping up and down on a bed.....
and although the pictures are blurry her beaming smile is clear to see.
Have a great,stress free, FUN sunday everyone.

Unbelievable Jeff !
Sat here trying to think what to write for this weeks blog post and it's a bit challenging. I'm sat here as my girlfriend has gone for her first run post pregnancy. Eldest child is a sleep in bed, as to is the youngest. My laptop placed on my knee and Gillette Soccer Saturdays Christmas special is on T.V (Purely because I didn't get time to watch it over Christmas so I shall watch it now.) I love watching the Soccer Saturday show, it makes me laugh and has all the highs and lows of football, the joy of winning and the sorrow of losing as well as the laughter of the banter between friends that you feel a part of , anyway back to my post.....
Everyday this year (I know we are only 6 days into it) I have updated my blog by participating in the 366 challenge, this has allowed me the chance to find an opportunity each day to take a photo and post it on my blog. So far I've took a photo of myself with a basket on my head, a few of my daughter, a mad face that I drew and a photo of my M&M sweet dispenser, (the missus says this item is ruining her peaceful and ideal dining room.
I'm finding doing this challenge as I term it great, I am eagerly always looking for a great photo to shoot and uplaod, to capture a unique moment in the day with my camera and then think of a quirky pun for each photo.
This makes me think, I have always enjoyed taking photos and upload them on Facebook / Twitter etc and have always enjoyed looking through them on my laptop and getting them printed out and framing them. Today through the post came a leaflet about adult courses taking place at a local school....hang on them thoughts for one of moment please Chris Kamara is just on screen singing, its always a cry with laughter moment when he's on screen.....
Unbelievable Jeff ! Anywho as I was saying a leaflet came through the door about adult learning courses. My girlfriend has always been looking at these to do and for something to do. I noticed they had photography courses and I admit it would be nice to do something like this, I guess the reason why I'm writing about this partly because I have nothing else to write about but, also if I've wrote it and published it then I will have more emphasis to do it.
So for 2012 I am not going to write some resolution on how I want to better myself, if I want to do that I don't need to wait till the start of a new year, week or month I'll just do it. My challenge to myself this year is to improve myself in something I enjoy doing, I am going to do a beginners photography course, just something for me to enjoy and hopefully get good at.
Anyway the missus has just came back from her run, panting, breathless and saying, "I'm F@#£ing Knackered" guess she enjoyed her run, or at least I hope it was just a run ;)
