So I know lately

that my posts have been kind of well depressing, and I am sorry for that I really am. It's not like I enjoy writing posts that only highlight the bad parts of my life, the problem is sometimes it's hard to see the good parts it's easy to overlook the little things that make me smile. So today I decided to share with you three things that have made me smile this week. The first would have to be Lukas who always has this magic talent to make me feel better, he can definately turn any frown upside down. His latest trick for the want of a better word is to simply look at me and say these words "Mum", "What Lukas?", "Your beautiful do you know that", (instantly getting a lump in my throat) "aww thank you baby, that's really sweet" "your the best mummy in the whole world" (getting more choked with every word) "and your my best boy" "I'm glad your my mummy" "i'm really glad your my baby Lukas" "I love you 100" "and I love you a million Lukas". So that's something in my life that makes me feel loved every single day yet I have never bothered to blog about it before. The second thing would again be Lukas and stuff he says only this time it's not his loving nature its his sense of humour. Last night we had a very fun conversation that went something like this. I was cuddled up behind him after I had given him a bath and washed his hair and I said to him "Oh you smell really nice now" his answer just made me laugh out loud, "Do, I? because I just farted and it was a really stinky one" lol. He says stuff like that all the time,no hesitation just things he comes out with that make me smile and yet I never blog about those times either. Then finally the third thing is the pride Lukas has for me. He looks at every layout I make and begs me to print them out for him, asks me often why I don't pick him up from school and when I ask why tells me "because I want to show you to my friends". He doesn't care that I am ill, or fat or that I don't act anything like a normal mummy and yet he still loves me anyway. I am so very blessed to have him. He's been telling me off for not posting my layouts for him to see on here so I am going to do that for him now and then I am off to do my job as a mummy and rub his poor leg (he hurt it yesterday at school and can't stand on it so he's been off school today and had a great time sitting down on my computer watching stuff playing games and being waiting on hand and foot lol). Before I go here are the layouts. I only have 4 to share sorry, the first 3 are using Chrissy's new Angie'licious 3 templates and the last one is using the Elemental Scraps November Mega Kit by Team 2 Egocentric.

Journalling reads: Since our 1st day at Chessington was a complete washout thanks to the rain we had to wait until our second park visit to take some cute photos of you sat on one of the pumpkin patch displays around the park. This one was in Beanoland and I almost felt guilty asking you to sit on it since it was so cold and the hay was bound to still be damp. Your grinning because you know that this one photo is a trade for the endless goes on the ride you want to go on. You know that I wanted it so badly I would have agreed to almost anything you wanted in exchange for this one shot of you, looking adorable on the pumpkin patch I take comfort from the fact that one day you will have kids of you own and they will be the ones doing the bargaining while you stand and beg them for “just one nice photograph please”.

The sweetest angel too and for such a tiny little thing, he had so much to do. He knew he did not have much time upon this earth to stay, so he did not waste a second he got started right away. His eyes were bright and sparkly, he took in every turn. he did not miss a single thing, because Leo came to learn! God sent him here to touch the hearts of those He could not reach... He taught us courage, strength and faith,because he came to teach. His tiny little body was so full of God above, you felt it when you held him, because Leo came to love. In three short months he managed what many never will. When he went home to heaven, his purpose was fulfilled. He learned and taught, smiled and cooed, he learned his lessons well. I know it was his time to go but losing him was hell.

Journalling reads: When we told you that it was time to go home from the holiday, we were expecting a tantrum, or maybe a few tears at the very least a really really bad tempered little boy. But we couldn’t have been more surprised to hear you asking us if it was time to go home yet or you bursting into tears when we told you that we were going to the zoo. You were so exhausted from the previous three days, fed up of the weather, homesick and missing Nana you begged us to not go and please go home. I have to admit I was secretly a little glad we didn’t have to add all that travelling onto our day again or try and negotiate the zoo with all the luggage. But I was still disappointed we hadn’t got to have our planned zoo day. We packed up all of the clothes into the suitcase and all of the souvenirs between the bags and the rucksack. All of your teddy bears and stuffed animals went into your pyjama bag and I ended up with all the other bits and pieces in the John Cena bag. People must have thought we had been on holiday for a month instead of the only 5 days! By the time we dragged all of this to the bus stop me and daddy were starting to feel tired you on the other hand looked like this. You were so happy that we were finally on our way home. Or at least we would be after one last stop - Our 1st trip to Ikea! Whether you were looking forward to going there and getting a present or just glad to leave the hotel and know we were heading home we will never know. But I will say it was really nice to get some photographs of you looking genuinely happy and excited,it’s just a shame we had to wait until we were leaving for them!

Font is FO Journal Away by Fontologie. Journalling reads: One of your favourite things about Chessington is getting to go to Pizza Hut and have your very own pepperoni pizza. First we have to order the pizza and find a bench to sit on. When you take the first piece out you always gaze out of the window for a little while. Then you suddenly remember there’s a pizza in front of you! The first piece always gets eaten super quickly, I don’t think you even taste it. The second piece a little slower you usually pick off the pepperoni and eat that first. The thrid part is slower still you often stop and chat to me between bites. The last bit is the one you eat the slowest because you don’t want to finish the pizza, you love sitting in there and hate it when we have to leave. Then you lick all of the pizza off of your fingers, before you do the part that makes me laugh every single time you pick up the pizza box and peer inside, shaking it just to make sure that there is definately none left inside. That’s followed with a sad face and then a quick drink before you sigh and pick up your things and get ready to go.You are always so disappointed that we have to leave. Poor little man.

Be back with the enabling a little later on the little master needs his mummy lol.
