Week 5
Meet ups, training and relaxing……a mixed bag this week.
Monday A meet up with mums at Full of Beans in the morning, headed to the parents in the afternoon and then a Scouts Trustee Board Meeting in the evening. With the husband away, I had to take the girls with me to the meeting but Minu was well behaved….I handed her my phone so she could play games. I tired a mocha today too at Full of Beans. I am not a coffee drinker in general but that was just about bearable.
Tuesday Had some training in the morning for a charity I volunteer with. It was 10 -2 and I had initially said I couldn’t attend as would have Minu with me. But they organised child care for us mums who have young children. Again, Minu was well behaved and went happily into another room to do some colouring and singing. I was quite surprised that she went off with someone she didn’t know, but she did know that I was in the room next door and that she could just come and see me when she wanted. Then Squirrels meeting after school – the Squirrels made a model camp fire.
Wednesday A slower day today, headed to our toddler group and then relaxed.
Thursday Asked Minu if she wanted to go to a toddler group in the morning but she said stay home, so we just relaxed at home in the morning in our pyjamas and then headed to mums in the afternoon before the school run. As I was leaving for the school run I left my car keys in the car by Minu’s car seat. I shut the door and somehow the car locked itself. I don’t know how or why. I started panicking and told my nephew to break the car window or something so I could get Minu out. He was calmer than me and saw she was fine and laughing in the car and he said he would run to my house and get the cars spare keys. His car was blocked in by mine so he had to walk/run. Luckily my dad has my house keys. 5 mins of pacing round the car and playing peekaboo with Minu and I hear a click. The car had somehow unlocked itself. I still don’t understand exactly what happened or why the car locked/unlocked itself. But it has made me more paranoid about the keys!
Friday
Toddler group in the morning and then once we had picked up the older girls from school headed into town to get a few bits. Will be glad when the husband is home and I can ask him to get things on his way home from work.
Saturday and Sunday No pictures as its been a quiet weekend. Bee went to karate on Saturday and then the rest of Saturday was spent at home. Sunday we popped to my mums for a bit, did a spot of food shopping and then just relaxed at home.
It sounds like a busy week with all the meet ups and training.
Mocha’s are the reason I am a coffee drinker now. lol
Oh my goodness, how scary for you when Minu got locked in the car. It sounds like she had a great time. x
Kim Carberry recently posted…Our weekly meal plan! 5th – 11th February. #MealPlanningMonday
She was giggling away!
A quiet weekend here too which was actually nice. I never liked coffee either until the doctor told me I had to have it. I have it with those3 sugar free syrups
Oh I may have to try the sugar free syrups
Phew that was lucky about the car locks. My brother managed to somehow lock my mum’s car keys in the car when we were at a friends house for the day, an hour from home .She had to call someone out to get it unlocked – evidently the Ford Escort was one of the hardest cars to get into! I’ve locked mine in while at a car boot sale – luckily could get family member to bring the spare set from 10 mins away. But I did feel stupid.
Minu’s obviously very confident in being in different places with different people. Bodes well for starting school in a few years time and settling in.
Yes hopefully when she starts nursery/school she will be fine
I had a similar experience with my car keys when my oldest was a about 1 year old, its was nerve-wracking waiting on the AA to come and help (we didn’t have a spare key!) your car isn’t a Corsa by any chance?
After a busy week I bet it was great to relax at the weekend.
No it’s a Ford
That must have been such a scare, with the keys inside the car. You did great to wait, as the glass shattering would have startled her. Things like this just happen and it was fine.
Definitely was a huge scare!
Oh my gosh! What a scary experience with the car. I’m glad you’re all ok.
Certainly was scary!
Oh goodness, what a nightmare with the keys. Glad you got sorted though. How nice of the charity to provide childcare and that the kids enjoyed it
Defo a nightmare!
Well done to Minu on being well behaved during your Scouts meeting. That’s good that childcare was organised for the charity training and Minu sounds like she enjoyed herself too. Oh that is horrible accidentally locking Minu in the car. I did that once with Thomas and I’ve been paranoid about the keys ever since. Glad she was okay and that the car unlocked itself though – I had to wait for my husband to come over with his set to get Thomas out. #project365
Yes I am definitely paranoid about the keys now!
I’ve locked the kids and the car keys in with them on more than one occasions, longest I had to wait was an hour for hubby to return home with the spare house key to get the spare car key to unlock the car, after that we started keeping a spare house key with the neighbours. Nice Minu is now at the age where she can decide if she wants to go out or stay home.
I would do that with the keys but not really close to any of our neighbours
