Over The Weekend #57

This week for one reason or another felt very long so when Friday came around I was looking forward to joining Lauren and The Books in her #cosyreadingnight

I curled up on the sofa with new pj's, a blanket, candles, a glass of fizz and read a few chapters of Drums of Autumn. Hubby even joined in and read The Lost World, later we watched Me Before You

On Saturday it was Paul's jobs 10th Anniversary so Paul brought Oisìn off for a fun day out

They went swimming, played games, ate yummy food and Oisìn got his face painted!

Later Paul and Oisìn went to Paul's parents to spend the afternoon with them and have a catch up as Paul's Dad Eddie had just come home from his European part of his tour.

While the boys where having fun I deep cleaned the house and took the chance to declutter the house and get rid of things before Christmas.

I got one bin bag of rubbish and two for the charity shop!!

It took us a long time to settle Oisìn Saturday at bedtime, he seems to be going through a phase of wanting a night light on at bedtime. After an hour or so of him getting out of bed he seemed to need reassurance that we where still near him, and the light was going to be kept on, he finally fell asleep!

We watched Batman Returns with a white wine spritzer for me!

Sunday we all had a bit of a lie in Oisìn didn't wake up till 9am

while having our breakfast we watched Home Alone 2 and Oisìn loved it!

Later we went and done some Christmas shopping, we went for coffee which was lovely.

I took this picture and it made me realise how grown up my baby boy has got, no longer a baby now a little boy! How alike Daddy and son are even down to the walk!

When we got home Paul finished making the Sunday and Oisìn wrote his very first letter to Santa

the past couple of years he has been to young to do it, this year he couldn't wait to do it

Of course Mammy and Daddy had to help but he really enjoyed it

We had a sweet and family filled weekend

Over The Weekend #56

 This weekend started off on Friday with a curl up with a festive read. Paul was off on a work night away so I read this throughout the day and when Oisìn had gone to bed I actually finished the book! I loved it that much that I started and finished it in a day. If you want a fun cosy festive read The Christmas Party by Carole Matthews is a must! I will be reviewing it in my monthly book review

 Saturday morning I had a bit of Christmas shopping to do so Oisìn and I popped into Costa for a honeycomb latte for me and a hot chocolate for him!

Later Saturday afternoon it was our neighbour and Oisìn's best pal Caden's 3rd Birthday party. Oisìn had a great time, he found it a little hard to understand that all the presents where for Caden, once he got his head round that he enjoyed himself! He had the most fun playing with the balloons!!

After a few hours at a children's party I was ready for wine!! Later when Oisìn was tucked up in bed and Paul was home, we curled up with a glass of wine and the first festive movie of the season my favourite Planes, Trains and Automobiles!

Sunday we had a lovely family day out we went for dinner, and then done some more Christmas shopping. Later the Christmas lights where switched on and Oisìn face was a picture! Oisìn fell asleep in his buggy something he hasn't in a long time, so he was wide awake when we got home so he ended up staying up and watching some of Planet Earth II which he loved! 

This weekend was a lovely one and it felt quite festive, I have itchy fingers to get the Christmas tree up but that is a big no from Paul!

Over The Weekend #9

This weekend we prayed for the victims of the terrorist attack in Paris,

I snuggled my boy a little closer while we watched Disney

We went to Oisín's friend's birthday party he was two
and his cake was fab!

Oisín had so much fun playing with the other kids

Sunday was spent Christmas shopping

and we then went for an Italian meal

which was yummy. Oisín really enjoyed his!

Over The Weekend #6

This weekend hasn't been the best one
hubby spread his manflu and I have
spent most of the weekend feeling awful!
On the plus side we did make a start on our Christmas shopping!

The three of us went on a walk in the park
Saturday morning before
a long afternoon of Christmas shopping!

These two cuties playing on the floor with toy cars!

Hoping that my favourite Slimming World
fakeaway would cheer me up Saturday evening!

Sunday was spent mostly feeling
sorry for myself  and watching this little one play

Finished the weekend off with some bubbly
trying to make myself feel a little better
while watching Downton!
