The Siblings Project – April 2017

This month has been a funny old one. It’s gone from crazy and hectic with the end of term to stupidly quiet as we’ve been stuck at home a lot, due to the start of our kitchen renovations. Because of all the mess, I haven’t blogged or taken photos much, but to be honest I’ve enjoyed the break and spending time with my mad three – although there have been days that I’ve been rocking by the time Ell got home. We tick by nicely in term time, and then the holidays come and it all seems a bit much…

The Siblings Project – March 2017

The last month has flown by since February’s siblings project – it seems like 5 minutes ago I was bribing the kids to take last months photos, and this morning I had a bit of a panic when I realised we didn’t have any for this month – cue in impromptu photo shoot before school – it went pretty smoothly and we weren’t even late for school! The last four weeks have passed with luckily a lot less illness than the previous few months. The kids have been ticking along nicely, all waiting on Spring arriving. Izzie and Ollie seem…

The Siblings Project – February 2017

  Normally I start off by saying that the month has flown by – I feel like January into February has dragged. January is a long month anyway, and after all the bright lights and sparkle of Christmas was put away, we seemed to be left with illness, that has flowed its way into February. I hadn’t even taken any photos of the three of them together this month. Apart from the odd day, it was mainly spent inside. The thing with having three kids, is they all pick up different germs, from different places, at different times. This month…

The Siblings Project – January 2017

      Ummm, how are we halfway through January? I swear yesterday it was Christmas Eve?! January has been pretty quiet so far for these monkeys, settling back into their school and pre school routines, and for Mason and me, getting used to having a quieter house again. Both Izzie and Ollie have settled back into school well – especially Izzie, considering it must be weird not having her best friend around, now she has moved away. Ollie has also gone back to preschool without any fuss, which is amazing, since last year we were having to convince him…

The Siblings Project – December 2016

I can’t believe it is halfway through December – it seems like I only just wrote November’s Sibling post. If I thought the last few months were hectic, I really had no idea. December has brought utter madness to our already chaotic house. We’ve had two nativities – Izzie was a Shepherd, and Ollie was a king. Izzie unfortunately missed her second performance, as she came down with a high temperature and sore throat, which Ollie had had a few days before. Mason then seemed to get it, and was feeling really sorry for himself, and then he came out…

The Siblings Project – November 2016

It feels like I say this all the time at the moment, but this month has been a mixed bag again. I’m not sure if this is now because we are busier than ever as a family, the fact that it is getting colder, and all the germs that have come along with it, or just that three kids is hard – amazing, but hard! Half term was lovely to have them home but everyone had a cold, so it was a quiet one – which I think we all needed. We’ve had plenty of time out in the fresh…
