Just like September, October appears to have run away with itself! The beginning of the month I seem to remember more than I do the second half. But I'm starting to think that time somehow feels slower when we have things to do, as strange as that sounds. I feel like when we're not really that busy out of the house with events and occasions, time merges because the days and the weeks that we're working at home and looking after the boys merge because of the same sort of routine.
You'd think from our picture (above) that maybe Ethan was the grumpiest of the boys the day that we got our photo for this month, but you'd be wrong! Ethan has actually inherited his Mama's moody-looking-even-when-we're-happy-face and it was the youngest member of our family who was oh so very overtired and grumpy. Getting our family photos seems to be quite the task these days - we want to make them feel almost non-posed for, but it's kinda hard when you're setting up a tripod in the woods and all standing in front of it! ;)
At the start of the month Adam turned 28. We celebrated with a surprise three course meal from Adam's parents at a stunning manor house not too far from us. We also went for a nice lunch as a couple at our favourite restaurant Prezzo then used up our spa voucher that Adam's brother and girlfriend had bought us last Christmas, the day after. And then on Adam's actual birthday I was invited along to the Thorntons Factory in Derby for an exciting tour around the chocolate factory and to try my hand at being a chocolatier for a day, which was a lot of fun!
