Oh dear we've chicken pox

Well chicken pox has struck our household. So we are on house arrest for a few days till the spots decide they want to go away. So my eldest wanted to make pancakes as they are his favourite apparently (well today they are anyway) so we had fun cooking

and managed to make some that looked like bear prints somehow which of course the boys though was fab.

I also sorted out some of the garden for them to play out and set up my uber bargain of the week. (This pic was before I tidied it looks much better now honest)

My youngest's play group was tidying out and selling off unused equipment and I got a lovely wooden activity play frame for the garden for £20 (they're about £500 new). So we had fun playing outside till it decided to rain.

Well its wednesday

After reading a few other blogs I was going to do a Work In Progress Wednesday type post today but seen as this would only be my second post on here I thought it might be a bit too soon to be committing myself to posting about what I was doing every week from here on in so figured lets give it a week or two and see how I'm doing. That and I've got no charge in the camera battery so can't actually take any pictures today of what I've been doing anyway ;)

I have managed to clear a huge space in the garden today though so am feeling very proud of myself and my horticultural genius that consisted of using a pair of loppers to remove any offending - and some unoffending but i just got carried away - plants in the garden. I'm sure my mum would be horrified at how I have gone about the gardening but I can see clear space so it works for me. I am now however feeling rather tired and a little sore from all the manual work I'm not used to doing so am off to bed with a jack and coke to hopefully get a little rest before the two darlings decide they want to come sleep in my bed again :)
