I am back from my little project (more on that soon) and am indebted to Just a Normal Mummy and Mummy Never Sleeps for hosting this linky for the last 2 weeks. Not only did they do a hilariously good job of posting, and sharing all your lovely posts, they also broke the record for the number of people linking up! Apparently you were bribed with gin in week 2. I’m not averse to bibery, and I have just been through Duty Free (I have a LOT of Haribo) – just saying…
There is often a fair bit of dischord between myself and the Bug. He’s a boy, I’m a girl; he’s 5, I’m old enough to know better; he likes poo, I like nail-polish; he’s laid back and chilled out, I’m a bit… erm, well, you know….
It’s not often that the Bug surprises us. If he’s not in the room, he’s usually pottering with his Lego. If it’s before 7am, you’ll find him chilling out in his bed. If he takes up a pen, he’ll often be designing a new Light Saber. But this took our breath away:
To clarify:
- Maddie is lovley
- I love dad (he gets confused with his b’s and d’s at the moment
- Mummy is the best
- My frends are lovley
He was in a good mood that day…
Thanks to all our readers for voting us into the Mad Blog Awards as a finalist this year! We’d love you to consider giving us a nomination in the Brilliance in Blogging Awards. We were thrilled to be finalists in the Fresh New Voice category last year, and would love to be there again in 2013! Maybe in the Family category, but we’d be honoured to be chosen in any of them.
Ahhh that’s lovely!! 🙂
Aw bless, just occasionally your kids do something that astounds you…enjoy it while it lasts!
A bit of bribery with gin works for me! I’m certain Grace would take Haribo any day though! The bug is very cute – he knows who to bribe in your house 😉
I hadn’t thought of it as bribery. Is it possible to be that manipulative at the age of 5??
Aww lovely letters 🙂 atleast they were nice words… Unlike some here I find about wee!
Secret projects and lovely messages?
Have you been working on a revolutionary new drug to instill family harmony?
Or is it a Haribo overdose?
Ha! Either of those would be fine with me, I’m not fussy. No, just been away on holiday 🙂
What lovely little notes, I love finding these unfortunately I find ones with sweary words just as often! X
Oh yes, we get those too – mostly from his big sister!
That’s so cute! They really know how to work their magic on you, don’t they?! My 4 year old is always writing special lists for us x
It’s basically why I started this blog. Now that GG is getting a bit more targetted about what she writes, Bug is taking over – it’s lovely!
How lovely is that?
What’s bug after I wonder?
Heheh, you reckon it’s a calculated attack?
That’s so lovely! I’d be tempted to keep hold of them and use them as evidence later on!!
Ahem. Photographic evidence. That’s what the blog is for 😉
He is adorable and so very loving xx
Thank you, he is really affectionate when he stops being Victor Meldrew 😉
What a lovely surprise x
Bug has writing to be proud of, I think my eight year old boys are no better than that!
Ah thank you – he gets very frustrated with it – he’s youngest in his class whereas his sister is eldest in hers so he’s often on the back foot.
That’s gorgeous! Long may it last. If only we could freeze them in time…(only kidding – each new phase seems to be pretty good, at least in our house!)
You know who else is lovely? Bug is lovely! I hope you put those little bits of paper away for safekeeping. He will love to read them one day! Or, maybe when you guys are disagreeing about poo vs. fingernail polish or something similar, you can take them out to remind him! Thank you for the lovely comments on my blog. I am very happy to have found yours now. I have put your button on my pinterest page.
Awww how lovely 🙂 What a sweetie. xx
