Shhh, Daddy's Sleeping!

Hubby is on nightshift at the moment, which is really great trying to get everyone quiet so he can sleep all day. Today we tried our best and failed absolutely miserably.
This is a quick run down of our day..

Isla started off the day in fine fashion. Hubby woke her up at 7am as normal and she comes out with her eye so swollen it was almost closed!! Must have had a fight with teddy!

Big kids went off to school, hubby Isla and I did food shopping and then hubby went to bed as he's on nightshift-all part of a normal day in our house.

After her morning nap I heard Isla in bed chatting away. When I went in to get her up she was sitting up in her cot!! Looks like someone has learnt to go from laying down to sitting up...except she can't lay back down again!

But then this afternoon. Well it got fun again.

I had been making different jams all day. I was pouring the plum jam into the jars, closed the lid and tipped the jar upside down, except one lid wasn't screwed on properly and boiling hot jam was literally spraying out the side!
I have little tiny burn dots all over my hands and my swearing and shouting had my previously sleeping husband running out to see what I had done. Oops!

By this stage I was running late for school pick up, hubby was awake now so I left Isla in bed and ran to get the kids-got there just in time! Although I think I still had dots of jam over me :-/

Coming home I told the kids daddy was still sleeping so they needed to be quiet.

Kids started off doing well. Isla decided she needed to do her first proper crawl-the kids almost started to scream with excitement but I managed to get that under control. Then Isla pulled herself up to her feet using a toy to hold on to. That was exciting but again I managed to keep the kids excitement to small squeals.

Then it all went bad. Isla head dived into the ground and started screaming, Kaitlyn tipped a massive pile of craft stuff on the floor that went crashing down and Zac started whinging to get into the bedroom.

Hubby's sleep didn't survive that.
Oh well maybe next time. . .
