Instagram post 2337368146812765520_1513308813 We had such a lovely day today. I went to my new office to collect my laptop as I start my new job from home on Monday due to Covid. Then we popped to see our friend who lives two houses away from my new office and has an incredible garden with horses and ducks and a tyre swing - it was like being at a national trust site! This afternoon we visited my cousin @kingwele23 and he gave me a heart attack showing Lily how to climb trees and do gymnastics 🤣. @coraldeja made the best social distance lunch and George adopted her as his new mum so I got a nice little break for a couple of hours! The kids were both shattered when we got home! Let's hope we get some decent sleep tonight as the last 3 weeks has been so tough with the 18 month sleep regression and teething!

Instagram post 2331476276911932630_1513308813 This photo that @lucymcalpinephotography took last week pretty much sums up our day today! We wanted to get out for a nice walk and do something fun so we downloaded a treasure hunt online and was to set off for Hertford Castle 🏰 Only for 20 minutes we didn't actually set off anywhere because we tried... And tried... And tried but we couldn't get George into his car seat. We tried everything bribing him with snacks, YouTube, toys, the car keys, nah uh he wouldn't budge he just wanted to stand in it and face the boot 🙄 Eventually, Mike got him in and we did have a lovely afternoon. The kids enjoyed running around the field outside the castle and Lily and Mike had an ice cream (George and I are dairy free and the shop didn't have any lollies so we missed out!). I am absolutely shattered now as George spent 4 hours between 11pm and 3am shouting MUUUUMMMM DUCK from his cot, we tried everything to settle him but he absolutely wouldn't accept that it was sleeptime and not playtime. He is the most joyful, happy child until he gets his wilful, stubborn head on then that's it he won't budge and he is like looking after 10 kids in 1 in those moments 😴 Remind me when Grandparents can have the kids for a sleepover again 🤣 It's been a loooonngggg 12 weeks hasn't it! Anyone else getting super exhausted now or is it just us?!

Then the toddler just crawls away and makes us all laugh hysterically 🤣 This shoot was so much fun and we have so many gorgeous photos from it... Expect lots of shoot spam in the next few days... I mean it's not like we're doing anything else now is it 🤣 📸 By the lovely @lucymcalpinephotography

Instagram post 2317688926989774834_1513308813 These two are loving having each other around 24/7. I'm not sending Lily back to school on the 1st June but when she does eventually back they are going to miss each other like mad ❤️
Instagram post 2294553951943962733_1513308813 My little princess is loving home schooling and really enjoying the Oak National Academy. Today Miss Harris' year 1 lesson was to gather materials and create a piece of Andy Goldsworthy inspired art. I think she has done an amazing job 🎨 How are you all coping with home schooling? I have to say I'm enjoying it and if I were rich I would probably do it! #onayear1 #art #andygoldsworthy #andygoldsworthyinspired
Instagram post 2293565927164646810_1513308813 Xronia Polla | Happy Name Day 🎂 Happy name day to my beautiful boy with all the curls ❤️ He looks angelic in this photo ❤️ In reality of course he's absolute little terror who runs me ragged all day, loves being chased, is into absolutely everything and has starting headbutting the floor when he doesn't get his own way. The other day he even bit and headbutted me in temper and cut my nose! I'm sure it's a phase, it started when lockdown did so I think (hope!) it will end when the lockdown eases.
Instagram post 2285699715256559395_1513308813 As expected these two were a big birthday hit! Lily said it was her best birthday ever! 🐰🐰 They now have names... meet Crunchie & Squiggles 🐰🐰 They are near enough identical twin rabbits, but we've just about managed to work out who is who as Crunchie is ever so slightly larger, braver and has a black patch on his back left foot! Lily is completely in love with them both and is quite happy watching them for hours (which is just as well at the moment!) 🥰 #minilops #minilopsofinstagram #rabbits #rabbitsofinstagram
Instagram post 2283398288899376306_1513308813 We should be at Ebbsfleet today getting ready to board a Eurostar train to Disneyland for Lilys birthday tomorrow. As they say, life is what happens when you make other plans! I'm not complaining at all. My family are safe and that is all that matters; I am so grateful for that. I personally think the lockdown should have come sooner. We wanted to do our best to make Lily's birthday as special as possible and the only thing Lily has wanted more than to go Disneyland or Ireland to visit @kerry.enright Chris and the girls is a pet. Look whose been hiding at the bottom of our garden ready for a big reveal tomorrow! There are two of them, however they are literally identical I have no idea how we are going to tell them apart once Lily names them. We are so excited to see her little face tomorrow 🐰🐰. What a perfect year to get bunnies for your birthday when your birthday falls on Good Friday ❤️ #easter #minilops #minilopsofinstagram
Instagram post 2268864833348045349_1513308813 Home School is officially open! Today year 1 will be doing Spring Colouring, Mathletics (on the Kindle Fire), Reading and we decided to sub the pyjama day so that we could go for a couple of walks. Pre school are going to be doing imaginative play in the baby care area (otherwise known as pre school are going to be trashing the living room, shouting for snacks and generally running riot 😂). #homeschool #year1 #preschool #spring2020 #hmcapturingmoments
Instagram post 2268522809012882970_1513308813 So tomorrow I start my new job, I will be working Weds to Fri. We've decided Lily can call me Mrs Mum 😂 School Uniform for day 1 is pyjamas, the school has plenty of snacks, we will still do the daily mile (while we can) from next week, we are a mixed year group school with an unconventional combination of year 1 and pre school. It could be interesting 😂

Instagram post 2255445851244905126_1513308813 Today has been a quiet PJ day for the girls, with lots of jobs getting done and a lovely cottage pie made for tea (Frozen 5 portions for George and 1 for Lily too so that's a win!) The boys went for a walk round Van Hage earlier as they like to get and about 😂 Mike then went off to rehearsals as he is starring in Abigails Party at the end of April! This photo was taken last weekend, but I absolutely love it ♥️
Instagram post 2253080497134849591_1513308813 This boys going to be an amazing Dad one day! ❤️ First he made Baby Annabell food, then fed her it, made her a drink and gave her it then winded her and gives her a little kiss on her head right at the end ❤️ Oh to be able to play with your sisters dolls when she's at school hey!

Instagram post 2244438702381362422_1513308813 AD - PRESS TRIP We had such a fun morning at the official launch of Nickelodeon Adventure at Intu Lakeside. There are 4 immersive themed zones. As you walk in you are greeted by Paw Patrol cars Skye' Helicopter along with a Look out tower complete with Slide! 🚁 There is a whole zone dedicated to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle’s. This was definitely George's favourite zone and he loved crawling through all the little tunnels. It was also Mike's favourite zone as he got live his 90s dream and high five a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle... I just wish I'd captured it on camera! 🐢 Lilys favourite part was a tough split between the meet and greets and Spongebobs Boat Ride. Lily and Mike went into the 4D theatre, which was a little scary for her. The highlight for me was seeing both kids being able to enjoy something together and crawl around and play together so I guess that's another vote for the Ninja Turtles ❤️❤️ The 90's child in me did love the Rugrats soft play too...and I never ever thought I'd say I enjoyed soft play so thats a huge win! Check out my stories for more pics and videos! #NickelodeonAvdenture
