The Ordinary Moments #2- Jumping on the Bed!

I've been wanting to join in with this blogging link up for a while! If you're not familiar with it, Katie from Mummy Daddy Me describes it as this:

When I started the ordinary moments project way back in 2013, I wrote this…

{the ordinary moments}

‘The simple things in life are often the sweetest.  While the fancy days out, weekends away or holidays are fun, it’s the ordinary moments I will miss when my children are all grown up.  The snuggling in bed reading a story.  The giggles as they run around my overgrown garden with the grass that desperately needs a cut.  Even the naughty ones.  The ones we all have.

Just a photo from your week.  The simple.   The exciting.  The imperfect.  The Ordinary Moments.’

So here is my ordinary moment. It was last Tuesday, and Dave had gone back to work after 2 weeks at home with us. It was the first day in a long time that I was alone with my two children, and boy was it hard work. After baking cakes, playing with the lego, watching Frozen and playing dress-up I was running out of ideas. I mean, scrap that, I had run out of ideas. I had no idea what to do to keep them going and it was only 3pm! (Anyone else hate 3pm?!). 

I took them upstairs and let them jump on my bed. And to my surprise, it kept them utterly entertained for ages. Alice started pretending they were on a boat and it was rocking all over the place. And whenever Thomas got off the bed she shouted he had fallen overboard and had to dive in to save him. it was so funny!

Sometimes looking after these two on my own is hard work. But I love capturing these little moments  and looking back on them. You know, the ordinary moments!
