It's the weekend!

I always love weekends and this one is promising to be excellent. The weather is great and we're planning on taking the babies to swim for their first time this afternoon. I also have a couple of projects I might get underway in the meantime. I swear I have more websites I manage than that orange county web designer I met the other day. But then, it is what I enjoy doing, so I really don't mind.

So, how are you spending your weekend?

Long weekend

It's nice to have a long weekend every now and again. Spend time with the family, grab your golf equipment and head off the the golf course, take the family to Butlins .. there are a million and one things you can be doing. Me, I'll be spending time with Arthur and Camille, we have lots of things to do around the house and who knows, maybe we'll get to spend some time outdoors, if the weather holds up.

The UK have a number of these Bank Holidays which are basically national holidays. Next Monday is Spring Bank Holiday; of which I have no idea what the origins are .. but hey it's a long weekend.

Getting some free time

Last weekend was Easter and we were in the UK, which was fun as we met up with family, but we didn’t really get to do much, so hopefully this weekend might be a bit different. In truth, I’m not averse to spending the weekend asleep, but I’m sure Arthur would love to get out and about.

Luckily, it looks like the weather is going to be half decent this time round, so we might be able to get some quality family time in the fresh air. I’m not sure if I’m ready to go out and buy some golf equipment yet, but I’m sure we’ll be able to manage a walk in the sun, whether it’s on a beach or in a glen.

Getting a new car

Well, we've decided we're going to have to upgrade a to a new car. It's a 2 factor choice based on the fact that we have twins on the way and that we often have family visiting us. A 5 seater is no longer suitable so we're going to have to go for an MPV, one of these 7-seater vehicles where you can get everything and the kitchen sink in.

We used to have one of these in the past, a Toyota that used the the best thing ever; while we were running The Joke Shop. When you have to take 50 ballons to a client, you need to be able to pack stuff up in a space where they don't get squashed; and fitting them into a car was nigh impossible. So the MPV doubled up as a family car, and as a work vehicle. We didn't have kids back them though.

Oh, and by the way, we're having twins!

I'm not sure if you picked up the news on my main blog, but we're having twins! We're still a bit of a way off, still in the first trimester, but it's great news anyway, and I wanted to make sure readers of this blog knew about it too. Both of us are pretty excited and Arthur's happy he's going to be a big brother and have more kids to play with.

In the meantime, there's time for planning, cleaning out and getting ready for the new arrivals. Guess I won't be getting my new Adams golf drivers anytime soon huh? Still, it's a cause for much joy and we're over the moon!

Twins on the way

I don't know if you've heard from my other blogs, but we have just found out we're having twins! How cool is that? The babies are still too young to find out if they're boys or girls, but we know that the things we have put aside from when Arthur was a baby will only serve one of them. If they'll girls, we'll have to buy lots of things, but if boys then we're half way there. Still, pretty exciting to think about the toys we'll be buying, the school uniforms and even the NCAA jerseys when they get a bit older.

Exciting times huh?
