Blessed

So, the first of December. A day the twins have waited for with bated breath, the day we could unwrap the Advent calenders! There was great excitement as we all gathered around the couch and I took the plastic wrap off revealing Dora! and Lightning McQueen! There were many smiles until I explained the picture had doors that opened which would help us count down to Christmas. Then I was accused of trying to ruin their new presents.

With the bribe promise of chocolate we finally managed to open the first door. This was the time for the great discussion. Do we start at 24 or 1? The great debate ensued – I say start at 24 as then we know how many sleeps are left. Others say start at 1 as it’s the 1st of December. Nonetheless, it was decided for us by eager boys and the 24th it was.

Much perturbed by the fact the chocolate was quite small, and the fact they seemed to suddenly realise again that I had ‘wrecked’ their new presents, the calenders were quickly abandoned. Ah well, I thought it was a cool idea.

Tomorrow is a big day – the first full day the boys have with their Nanny and my Cardio appointment and myriad of blood tests. Fingers crossed all goes well
