The Disorganised Granny Blogger

Well it's been a funny week and it's only Tuesday. I started the New Year all organised. I had a fab new calender with coloured labels and sharpie pens. I had blog posts written and scheduled or the ideas written down but it hasn't quite worked out like that.

Goodbye to Christmas. Hello Waterfalls and Coots

This week we officially said goodbye to Christmas. We took all our lights down at the weekend but Grandad wanted to wait until Monday to take down the tree. he wanted to do it with Bear. Good luck I thought but Bear was brilliant, helping with all the baubles until a string of beads came off, he was fascinated for ages! Just letting them fall from his hand. Toy manufacturers take note. Please produce a toddler safe set of very long and shiny beads.

Bear helping. This bauble was found later hidden in his garage!

This week we went for a walk to our local park Cefn Onn and it was just wonderful to get out without it raining. Cefn Onn park has lots of streams running through it and because of the amount of rain lots of little waterfalls too. The water was rushing under the bridges really quickly and Bear was fascinated by it. #MySundayPhoto this week is of Bear, being held by Grandad looking at the water.

Some Strange Superstitions That Will Make You Smile - Fingers Crossed

 This New Year a friend posted this on Facebook.

 'Don't do any washing today or you'll wash someone out of your life'. 

I quipped back "got 3 loads to do, can I choose who goes?" *lots of smiley emojicons*
 
I did have lots of washing to do. I hate doing washing over Christmas so I had our usual laundry and extra bed linen from family staying over. One day longer won't hurt, I thought, I'll do it tomorrow. What?? Who said that? Me? I can't believe it! And I didn't do any washing. Just incase.

Sleepovers and Windmills

We've had a quiet week. A trip into town to do some shopping. We had Bear overnight on New Years Eve eve so his Mummy and Daddy could meet up with friends. Unfortunately Daddy had a bit too much of a good time and had an awful hangover on New Years Eve.  

Bear was teething so he wasn't happy at all, he's got a tooth at the front and two molars coming through so he was quite short tempered and grumpy. I thought I may have trouble getting him to sleep but after Nurofen, powders and dentinox he fell asleep and slept through the night. Love you Bear.

Bear fast asleep. Bless him.

He woke up at 5am, yes 5am and was not interested in going back to sleep. Guess what woke him up? Yep a poo! It's so often a poo.

Bear was given the windmill for Halloween but he was too young. He just tried to eat it! He found it hidden in a drawer and was just fascinated at the light spinning. I have a short video on my facebook page. It's so cute.

I've been trying to follow my tips to have a great 2016 so not only have I been smiling when I get up I've decided to learn something new and I'm trying paper making. I'd like to make paper and then make cards from it. It's not that difficult but will certainly take a bit more practice. When I get the hang of it I'll post a 'How to' blog.

Paper pulp, my first go at making paper.

All our decorations have come down except for the tree. Grandad wants to do that with Bear. Good luck I say! Lots of photo's of that I think.

I've decided to try and find time to do some linky's especially ones with photography. I am so bad at taking photo's so I really need the practice. I like the idea of #Photalife on instagram. Every Monday there will be a new theme. Up to 10th Jan it is NEW. Also hosted by Photolife is #MySundayPhoto. I love the idea of choosing one photo that reflects my week.

My computer is playing up so everything is so slow especially loading photo's. Hope it's something simple.

Are you going to learn something new? I'd love to know in the comments.

#MySundayPhoto Number 1

This is my first #MySundayPhoto and I thought I'd start with a picture of Bear. Surprise! Surprise!
I love this photo with his messed up hair and dirty face, from putting his Christmas dinner on his head! His eyes are so blue and he's happy. I'm also going to make 2016 my best year ever! Smiling seems a good way to start.
