Images from a day in the life of JallieDaddy & Jallie:
After this we settled them into their cots. I had Jake & the poor guy took 40 minutes to calm down: he’s a bit bunged up with a cold. Then dinner & a bit of TV (“Episodes”, since you ask), then clearing up in the kitchen / diner. Then at 9.30, just as I was settling down to blogging, poor little Ellie woke up crying. She also has a snuffly nose. So I went to bed early & took her in with me, & the last of the Karvol. She didn’t settle for another 2 hours, poor thing. Although after that she slept ‘like a baby’ – till 5.40 am.
Which is why I didn’t get this post done last night!
Welcome to my world.
I’m looking forward now to seeing a bit of yours.
Why not have at look at the other entries in this week’s Gallery: it never fails to disappoint.
Busy time! Have you tried saline nose drops?:)
We have thanks; for some reason they don’t seem to make a lot of difference
It look exhausting! I love the fish mobile.
They can be! We do too: it’s hand-made from a Brighton artist we found in the Open Houses thing they do during the yearly festival there.
Wow exhausted just reading it. Karvol on a wet flannel/towel on the radiator in their rooms can work really well btw
I am feeling quite tired today. Thanks for the tip: we’re trying that tonight
Always thought the phrase “slept like a baby” was so funny . The person who first said it could not of had children.
Loved the little slideshow , looks like the kids are always on the go .
Yes: they don’t generally mean tossing & turning, snorting & waking up every few hours do they? I meant it ironically of course
Sorry to hear they’ve got colds – it’s the pits isn’t it? We’re getting through nasty coughs at mo and tons of Karvol too. Love The MOiderer’s idea tho, might give it a try tonight.
HOpe they get well soon
Thanks; hopefully they’re getting better – although Ellie was difficult to settle this evening.
They are gorgeous and look like a lot of fun! Hope they both feel better soon
You certainly fill your hours with minutes, as they say. Great pictures, man.
I know they aren’t well, and I know they are the cause of your sleep deprivation but oh they are gorgeous!! Jen
I have a toddler who snores her head off, and a baby who snorts, and snuffles all night long. So while they’re both ‘sleeping like babies’ I’m bloody well kept awake by their barnyard noises!! Luckily they’re so darn cute that I can forgive them the chronic sleep deprivation. Your two are just gorg. Do they sleep together, or in separate cots???
Thanks, we feel the same: they’re great company when they;re awake (mostly)! They have separate cots & in deparate rooms, but they they wake up during the night so they’ll end up in bed with us. Thanks for commenting
What great pictures! I do hope your little ones feel much better soon!
Thanks; they’re better now but still not quite there yet
Wow! Looks like a challenge but loads of fun. Seeing this made me think I will never get to the end of a day with my kids again and think we didn’t do much! What a great idea to do a slide show, it will be great for them, and you, to look back on.
Thanks! I was toying with the idea of not posting to this week’s Gallery as I thought my day was just too dull.; but when you put it all togther like this you realise there’s more to it than you realise: thanks Tara!
Aw bless them, the snots are awful! Busy, busy, busy day! Lovely pics, fabulous eyes!
They are; and thanks!
Thanks for stopping by my blog : )
I hope everyone is feeling better now.. super cute they are ! even with snotty noses
You too! They are, just still not quite 100% yet. Thanks
