La célébration


Max had a fabulous birthday weekend in France. He started the day opening his pressies with grandma and granddad watching on Skype, and didn’t stop playing toys and eating crap all day long.  We had our own mini fireworks display when it got dark and finished up in bed watching his new Cars DVD.
 Duplo farm!
Birthday pain au chocolat (Stu had to stop me from putting candles in his birthday chicken nuggets)

 New car from Lil

Les petits

On Sunday we decided to take a trip out.  Three of Max’s current favourite things are trains, tunnels and mountains so what would be better than a train that goes through a tunnel and up a mountain?! Well, lots of things would be as it turns out. After driving for an hour to locate the funicular station, we were greeted by a big red FERME sign. Great.
He wasn’t too disappointed though as it meant he could go home and play with all of his new toys and watch Cars again (and again, and again).
I'm feeling a lot happier after a lovely weekend with la famille, and Stu has got most of this week off work which eases the pressure a bit. I'm hoping to get a couple of hours to myself at some point over the week, which could actually be the first time for 17 weeks. It is honestly miles easier going to work everyday than looking after Max and Luke!
It's quite hard to believe that little Luke is now 17 weeks old. It has flown over! By this age, Lily and Max had started on solid food, however I've decided to hold off this time. He doesn't seem to be hungry for anything more than milky I learnt from Max that weaning makes absolutely no difference to babies who are shite sleepers, and I really cannot be bothered with the hassle of pureeing!

So Lukey will be waiting as long as possible before he gets some proper food. I don't think he'll be wasting away any time soon?!

Quit stalling woman and pass me the filet mignon
We're off to Decathlon now to get Stu some Speedos so he can take Max to the swimming pool in Chambery, as you're not allowed to wear shorts here. He is less than impressed at the prospect of nugget huggers, but I think it's hilarious!
A tout à l'heure!
