Our first morning this week waking up all together as a family. Nick is gone so early for work so I really look forward to the days he is here in the morning. I could say it’s because I love his company but as bad as it sounds it’s because I love the help 
. The mornings are hard with these two babes. They are both just so young and need so much attention so everything takes so long to do as there is always one crying or needing to be held.
We decided to spend the morning at the beach so we started to get ready which took a long time even with the 2 of us. Edi-Rae isn’t 100% so she was very sooky and Paddy wanted nicks undivided attention it was just a bit of a process. Nick was starting to get frustrated and said “I don’t understand why it takes so long to get ready” and I just death stared him and said nothing. I mean, I wouldn’t understand how long it takes to tile a roof, BECAUSE IM NOT A ROOFER. Like, of course you wouldn’t understand something you have never done (or never done correctly). The beach was beautiful and we lasted around 2 hours before the kids lost their shit and we had to leave which is a great record for us.
There is definitely something not right with Edi-Rae though, she really was not herself. So whingy and this awful wet cough and wheezy chest. I hate when she is sick, it kills me. And I swear I have ptsd from when she was in hospital at 8 weeks old. I know she was a newborn but still whenever I see/hear her breath weird my brain goes back to that and I feel so sick. After the beach we grabbed some lunch and a sneaky thick shake. Nick gave Paddy some and he was absolutely crazy afterwards from all the sugar. I always thought crazy kids and sugar was a myth, but it’s actually true. Once we got home the kids went to bed so Nick and I cleaned up and then sat in the sunshine for a bit. He came out with headphones on, I was a bit like wtf. Like we hardly get any kid free time to chat and connect. Then we have time to connect and he is listening to an Arnold Schwarzenegger book away from me on another blanket. Cool 
. Anyway who cares because the kids woke up like 20 mins after that anyway. We then went to the shops so I could grab a few things.
Nick took paddy to Timezone while Edi-Rae and I got some stuff. Then the boys found us and Paddy won slime. Out of all of the toys to choose from Nick allowed him to get fucking slime. Nick pretended it was completely paddy’s choice but he wouldn’t have even known what slime is so not sure the truth behind that. We got home and Paddy insisted we open the slime and we did. It was sooooo bad. Like so runny and it got everywhere. NEVER AGAIN. I can’t even keep up with the normal house mess let alone slime. Anyway I made Nick clean in because I feel like he is entirely responsible for this situation.
