Back on my feet, well sort of

After another few days of having to watch CBeebies I finally cracked and said sod the bed rest. I had, had enough of those groovy moves on Show Me Show Me and decided to go out and do some gardening. Debbie and I actually managed to get quite a bit done, we de-weeded large areas and I managed to mow the back lawn where the grass was half a foot high. I must admit though that after mowing the lawn I did feel a bit wobbily and my inside hurt a bit where my gall bladder used to be. Maybe it will take a bit longer than a week and a half for my insides to mend. It was good to get outside and do some hard graft though.

After a few days of grafting out in the garden we decided to have an easy day today so we had a day out in Bideford. We had a wonder around the farmers market and then took the little ones to the play ground.
Little Elizabeth really enjoyed herself on the swings, squealing her headoff which was quite funny and made a nice change from earlier in the week when we had to wash her teddy. She is very attached to teddy (two of them), he goes everywhere with her so as you can imagine he gets grubby. Anyway Debbie thought it was about time for Teddy to have a bath so stuck him in the washing machien. We then had twenty minutes of crying from Beth whilst we waited for the cycle to finish, we couldn't even console her with chocolate.
As for the little boy he is definitely teething so needless to say he is sleeping even worse than usual and getting Debbie and I up every two hours. Saying that he gives us such wonderful smiles so that more than makes up for the lack of sleep. He can now also pull himself up so in the mornings we go into his room and he is standing up in his cot smiling away, which is quite cute. I think that by the time I come home next he will probably be walking.
