The week that was: captured – 19/10/14

Last week’s goals

Last week, I vowed to try to get the flat cleaned up and to get to bed at least once before midnight. Did I manage either of these? Nope. Not even a little bit.

I really did try to clean, and felt really good about my effort on Monday, but it didn’t last long. I thought I might see the bottom of the laundry basket on Thursday (would have been the first time since Pumpkin was born) but it sunk back down under a pile of clothes that I discovered Hubby had been squirreling away begin the bedroom door.

Maybe I’ll finally excavate it this week.

Out and about

We didn’t get up to too much this week (next week will be busy, so this was like the calm before the storm).

After our weekly Sing and Sign session, we walked around the park and Pumpkin had a go on the swings, the roundabout and the slide (with me hanging on to her of course).

We also went to Mini Montessori again, but after a bad night (she’s teething again), she was in a bit of a grump. She fell asleep in my arms during the sing-along at the end, which elicited a lot of broody looks from the toddler mums.

Fun at home

We got a used Jumperoo on Sunday. I say used, but it looks brand new. Half the cost of new though, so thanks Gumtree! Although she loved the one at Mini Montessori, Pumpkin wasn’t so thrilled with this one. I’m blaming her teething moodiness. She finally started to enjoy it last night and bounced for quite a while.

We also tried the painting-in-a-plastic bag sensory activity that I’ve seen so many mums blogging about. Pumpkin poked at it for two minutes, then screamed bloody murder until I picked her up. Will try again in a few weeks. At least I got a photo first.

Time for me

There hasn’t been much, I’m afraid. With Pumpkin’s grumpiness, I haven’t been able to put her down, not to mention get any time for me. Daddy-man has been helping as much as possible, taking her for walks and such, but I usually spend that time cleaning or sleeping. I did get a long soak in the tub last night though.

My happiest moment

Last Sunday, I was making Pumpkin a bottle after her bath and Daddy-man was holding her. I came back in from the kitchen and she was passed out in his arms. It was so sweet. She doesn’t do this too often, so it always makes him happy too.

Next week I would like to try

I’m going to attempt a bit of baking. I haven’t done much since Pumpkin was born, but I do love it. It’ll be a bit experimental, as I want to do something for an Angel Delight post/review that I’ve agreed to do. Some of Hubby’s work friends will be my guinea pigs. 🙂

We’ll also be going to the Baby Show – I’ve not been to one before, so I’m not sure what to expect.
