Lovely new trainers

Rough night with the boychild. I have got used to fewer awakenings and quicker settlings, but not last night. Roughly 5 wakings I think and her was anything but quick to settle. He also came through bang on 6.45 (the first allowed 'getting up' time at weekends), had a 'nuggle, then proclaimed he was starving and needed food. So up we got and he then proceeded to take over an hour to eat one bowl of porridge!

C however slept in until 07.45 and ate breakfast quite quickly. She then finished decorating the bags for her party. They all have been named and now have a variety of sea creatures stuck on them.

C and I left the boys at home, where they did some bycling, mowed the lawn and played some games, while I dropped C off at a friend's house. They used to go to child-minders together but now go to school on different sides of the town now, so it is nice that they can still see each other.

I then headed down to Hatfield to give the sales woman in Sweatshop grey hair trying to get to find a pair of shoes that a) fitted me and b) I didn't over pronate in. She was finally successful after approximately 8pairs of shoes! I also confirmed, by watching the video footage, what I already knew. I would be very quickly injured if not crippled running without my orthotics. No barefoot trainers for me I think.

Birthday week coming up and lots of baking is in order. First I need to bake cakes for the baby shower on Tuesday, then birthday cake for the birthday and the birthday cake for the party. Looking forward to it.
