What's happening in your house right now ?

[beetleaugust]

I've been up since 5 with our puppy. She's bang out now and me and youngest dd are chilling, she's watching YouTube and I'm having some marmalade on toast.
Going to get her ready in an hour for a day at her friends then when DH gets up I might go back to bed for an hour or sit in the garden with my book.
What's everyone else up to ?

Just written a shopping list of things to pick up whilst collecting DD from her Dad's. Think I'll mostly be in the kitchen today: DD wants to make her new baking kit, need to make DM's birthday cake for Tuesday and Dparents are coming round for dinner. DD has a golf competition this afternoon and I ought to get on with sorting paperwork/the house generally.

Laid next to DS (7 months) in bed while he has his nap. Did a quick clean of the house this morning while DH took the dogs out for a long walk and managed to get the food shop done online while DS had a bounce in his jumperoo. Now waiting for DS to wake up and DH to get back from his bike ride so I can get on with baking a cake for guests coming later - it's MIL's birthday and we're having a BBQ if the weather stays nice

I'm sitting in the kitchen with a cup of tea, wondering whether I should have done something other than stew for tea based on the weather

Both girls are sock on, we went to the Safari Nights concert at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park yesterday & it was late by the time we got home on the bus.

Just had tea and toast, about to do my weekly online shop.
Had a late night yesterday as went to see Joseph at the Palladium.
DD (15) is in bed.
DP is cutting the grass.
I’ve just put a chicken casserole in the slow cooker for tonight.
I’m going to potter around for a bit and then chill this afternoon in the garden with a cold drink, factor 50 and the papers.
BBQ planned for tomorrow afternoon.

Sat waiting for shopping ds3 is making a sea horse with hama beads. Ds1 and 2 asleep still . Dp and Dd both working a busy bank holiday sunday

I’m in bed MNing and drinking coffee. DD was out partying last night so she’s still in bed. I’ll have a Skype chat with my DS soon. He works abroad and we usually have a catch up on a Sunday, which is nice. I have an hour or so of work to do, and a bit of tidying. Then I’ll probably just relax and read. I started a good series on Netflix last night so will watch a couple of episodes of that this evening.

Oldest DC are playing minecraft, Dh is out doing his Sunday volunteering. I'm bf baby DC. Once he's asleep, I'll sit in the garden and read. Actually have tons to do as DC start back to school on Thursday but love this glorious sunshine, so going to make the most of it.
Paddling pool is filling in the garden ready for the DC later.

Happy Sunday

DS is watching Blaze and playing with his toy hammers. DH and I are having a coffee in between packing some boxes ready to turn our spare room into a nursery. Will go in the garden in a bit and get the sprinkler on

Done a quick round of housework, cleaned my kennels out and walked the dogs.

Now lying naked on the sofa, cos I’m a fat sweaty full term pregnant lady just waiting to go into labour 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

3rd washload on, dishwasher stacked.
Had egg & beans on toast in the garden for breakfast, little kid is watching his kindle, big kid is cleaning his room.
I’ve a million things to do and I’m on night shifts all this weekend... but I’m relaxing for 10 minutes with you guys.
It’s roasting hot here, gorgeous for you lot off for the BH weekend... hell for me trying to sleep in the day after nights!

Sat in my BF chair with baby napping on me.
He woke up at 5.30, I did some fasted cardio, ate breakfast and have been tending to him since.
Day is going to be pretty much this - feeding and naps on me, and I eating in the short periods between napping.

DH will do a tiny bit of housework and sit on his computer.

I'm having a coffee in the garden and MNing. The DCs are in the paddling pool and trampoline. DH is sleeping off his final night

Eek - I didn’t get up till 10!!

Currently sat on the sofa with dh and & the kids they have put aquaman on.

Going to send dh to the shop in a minutes for some snacks while I walk the cat 😻

A bit later we have to get to packing as we move next weekend

Dh is sleeping off his night shift, hard in this heat but he'll be up around 1ish and half asleep for the rest of the day.

Cuddling a bad tempered teething 8m baby who just hit herself in the face with a book. Contemplating eggy bread and bacon for lunch. (Yes it's early to be thinking about lunch but I need motivation today!)

Fiance playing madden NFL. I'm playing with my parrot while reading MN

Currently consoling DS who is crying his eyes out coz it hold him he can never marry me.. he is 3

Coz I told him he can never marry me

It's our wedding anniversary today so we did presents in bed then are going out for a pub lunch later, then maybe a swim at the lido if it isn't full. Right now I'm feeding DS2, DS1 is watching CBeebies and DH is in the shower.

Dh and ds are on the computer,I'm mumnetting.Going to parents for cold buffet lunch in the garden later.

Lying in bed feeling snotty and sore-throaty. Really, really tired after a horrendous night. I woke late and only bothered to get dressed to put a stand of my second hand books out by the garden gate. Hoping holiday makers on their way to days out will stop and take some off my hands. Now I'm just chilling out again waiting for the butter to soften so I can make a banana cake (I have 2 manky bananas needing using) but there's nothing else i 'need' to do today so will probably just play computer games while feeling sorry for myself, and catch up with the various TV series I'm watching at the moment (Benidorm, Downton Abbey and Modern Family). I expect I'll have a snooze at some point too.

I don't have kids - can you tell?

I’m currently on MN and listening to Wee Free Men on Audible. DD and TV wrecking cat are both asleep. Cat woke me at 4.30 this morning by dashing through my room and springboarding off my stomach.
We are having a Marvel Marathon today and tomorrow, steak and chips with peppercorn sauce and ice cream (mint chocolate chip for me and strawberry meringue for DD)

Everyone else is out so I am drinking coffee and listening to the church bells ringing a quarter peal.

Just been sorting through my sewing boxes with 5 yo DD 'helping', which means she's been doing lots of "oooh I can use that for.... and cutting scraps of fabric to make carpet for dolls house.

Washing on the line, halfway through tidying out my underwear and sock drawer, halfway through doing some gardening, just taken my first wheat free loaf out of the oven and it looks ok! DH has taken the DTs to the playground for a run around and we’ve friends popping over after lunch.
