I know you all have been anxiously awaiting a curtain update. I realize I am terrible at taking photos that match, but here are (half the) old curtains:
-------
Today was supposed to be the twins first morning at nursery (2.5 hours) and I was supposed to get 2.5 hours of time to myself, which I was OVER THE MOON EXCITED FOR. Unfortunately the big kids could not get out the door for breakfast club (which closes at 8:40) and so by the time I got them to school (8:55) there wasn't enough time for me to get the twins to nursery and instead of a Rachel morning I took the twins to gymnastics.
Luckily there is a twin charity that runs a hotline for twin parents in the UK a nice lady on the phone helped me feel slightly less depressed about missing my only teeny tiny Rachel moments.

This evening I tidied the lounge (I was too tired to do any cleaning during twin nap and used it to lie in bed and read, which is fine and nice, but also meant the house was a depressing mess all day) and organised our christmas cards! This brings me joy always.

I am really enjoying this air frier so far! I've used to to make really quick roast veggies for my lunches. On Wednesday I actually meal prepped myself a pasta thing with pesto and lentils and roast aubergine and mushrooms and tuna feta and it meant I had delicious protien and veggie lunch on Wednesday and Thursday. I also used it to make grown up dinner on Wednesday which was potatoes and salmon and leeks (you saw my leek right?).
The food comes out good and cooks quickly. Unfortunately we really don't have space to own one at the moment, but I am trying to figure out if I can rejig our existing food storage and maybe I can find shelf space.

In the olden days of the internet there was a video of a talking cat on youtube which Andy and I thought was hilarious and so just 13 years later we have taught Clara to to say "Oh Long Johnson" and "Oh Long Piaaaaano" now and it cracks us up.
She also says "Six Seven" a lot. Because my kids are jokes.
Those new curtains do look better.
ReplyDeleteAww! That's a shame you didn't get the twins to nursery but gymnastics sounds fun all the same.
I hope you do find space for the air fryer, they are a really handy thing to have.
I love that there is a hotline of sorts for twins! But that is a bummer about missing nursery. I am glad you laid down during nap instead of being productive. Your body needed that! It is hard to lose a productivity opportunity but our bodies often need rest more than they need a cleaner house (at least that is what I tell myself!!).
ReplyDeleteLOVE THOSE CURTAINS!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't have much counter space and I would love an air fryer, but I don't think it will work in this house, or until I care less about having things living on my counters - haha.
Ugh about missing nursery/missing Rachel Time. You are in a busy, hard, exhausting season my friend but I have to say that your posts about motherhood are the literal best!
