24: Why in God's name can't my son sleep late on the weekends? Every weekday we have to wake him up at 7am, but on weekends? He's awake at 6 and will not be persuaded to go back to sleep. This is us trying to have a power-snooze; he was having none of it.
25: This week has completely confused me; I've swapped a work day with a colleague and as a result wasn't in school today. I was able to pick The Boy up and take him to a park after-school.
26: The sunrise was absolutely intoxicating this morning, the sky was awash with purples, golds, pinks and yellows, making it a perfect match for a yarn which I've had for a while and didn't know what to do with. Here's today's row of my Sky Blanket 2016!
27: A colleague has commissioned me to crochet two rainbow ripple blankets for her two year old twins; one is a boy so she wanted to ditch the pink and purple and add more greens and blues. I am enjoying working on the transitions between the colours.
28: Another non-work day and we seemed to have a few minutes spare in the morning to do a puzzle. I love the way he kicks up his heels behind him when lying down.
29: Another ripple blanket, this one is off to a little girl in New Zealand!
30: We have had a raucous day today with The Boy and his cousins, involving a trip to Red Hot World Buffet and then lots of game playing. We've got a new game (Bugs in the Kitchen) and the three of them were having a wonderful time playing with the constantly moving Hexbug.

Tell me about it. I have to drag z out of bed every single week day and then he's up like Tigger, extra early, every single weekend! That blanket is beautiful!
We've got Bugs in the Kitchen – great fun. I love your various crochet projects, they all look stunning.
My two never lie in at weekend either, they really do during the week either but i dream of a sleep past 7.30am (although to be fair the car wakes me up at 6.46m met mornings!)!! I like his star pjs and he does look deep in concentration completing his puzzle.
Your crocheting projects must keep you very busy and are no doubt a great way to relax and unwind xx
Love his cheeky smile!
It's the same here. Have to drag them out of bed during the weekday but weekends…….completely different story!
Bugs in the kitchen looks like a fabulous game – will have to look that up
Swapping work days would completely throw me – going in for parents evening on my day off is bad enough! Love his face – all of them! Cheeky chap x
The sky blanket is throwing up some lovely colour combinations isn't it? That game has been very popular here too.
I love the colours on your sky blanket. The Boy looks rather cheeky pretending to snooze!
Love the photo of The Boy's cheeky face when he wouldn't sleep! You've been very busy with your crochet this week, the colours are beautiful.
Oh wow that ripple blanket is so pretty! I loved the first picture of the Boy all happily snuggled up! Hope you have a great week x #project366
LOVE the ripple blanket 🙂
Wow The Boy is looking so grown up these days! Your weekend early starts sounds like us, definitely one of my biggest bug bears, even Baby A does it!
So tempted to order a blanket! They are beautiful.
Love the crochet. You're more prolific than me. I've taken ages to do one blacnket
I'm loving your crochet projects – you really make me want to learn to do more than a single row.
Aww the first picture is so sweet, what a wee cutie. I've not seen that game, but looks like one the bous would love. Loving the blanket x
The waking up ealry on weekends is definitely a thing, why do they do it?! One of lifes mysteries and it bugs the hell out of me. Although mine don't wake as early as The Boy! I love his little face pretending to sleep in that first photo! x
Your sky blanket is looking fabulous, and I love the ripple blankets too. Like the sound of bugs in the kitchen, will have to check that out. Love the first photo, cheeky smile 🙂
You have quite a few blankets going on there, I need to start on my charity one.
Nice to see them playing together with no electronic equipment in sight.
Monkey at being up so early at the weekends.
Oh he looks sooo cute snuggled up, I don't why they wake early either, its not just yours. Maybe they are just excited to spend time with us!
Ooh I admire anyone who has the patience to knit – I imagine it is so therapeutic! Your blankets look wonderful. Love that smiley face of The Boy as he pretends to be asleep 😉
He looks so much like his dad! What a cheeky grin he has!
