They’re coming!
My parents arrive on Saturday! I’m so excited! We haven’t seen them since Arthur was a month old.
They will be here for a month and are staying in a really nice (like nicer then our house) self catering apartment. Of course we have said that they can stay with us but really there isn’t the space, we’ve got two bedrooms and I love Arthur but I don’t want to have him back in our room again!!!! Anyway it will be good for everyone to have their own space.
This week I am mostly trying to keep really busy (you know because running around after an 8 month old doesn’t keep you busy enough!) so it doesn’t drag. Its not been really keeping busy with fun things though. I’ve been doing all those horrible jobs around the house that you put off forever. Theres nothing like your parents coming to visit to make sure you have a sparkly clean house!!
So this is a quick one as now I need to go and remove dead geckos from door frames and windows…………….still jealous of Seychelles life?
You must be so excited! How lovely that they are staying for a full month, have a wonderful time together!
And yes, I’m still a bit jealous (even with the dead geckos!)
Xx
Exciting! Hope you all have a lovely time together and enjoy that cleaning!
Oh, have the loveliest time! And I know what you mean about parents and the cleaning. Nothing like a mother to find a dusty spot! 😉 E x
First off how very very exciting. I know when my family are coming here I get so excited. Nothing makes me busy enough. Totally can relate to that. I am going home for two months in June and I am just as excited leading up to it. I love that you do what I do and save those yucky jobs for when guest arrive! Yes still jealous but you made me laugh. Thank you ever so much for linking up to Share With Me. Love your post each week. Have a blast with your family! There is nothing better. #sharewithme
eew) im sure you will enjoy having your parents around maybe they will help you with Arthur for you to have that needed me time or even dinner date)
Ha ha, yes, I do the same- I run around the week before my mum comes over catching up on little jobs I otherwise ignore or don’t have time for. You must be so excited!
Aw yay! If they are anything like mine, you’ll be glad to see them go after a month! Hope you all have a lovely time! x
Eek!! So exciting for you my lovely. My parent a have visited us here once since we moved in January 2013 and it was great to see them! Hope you all have a lovely time. Arthur will love all the attention x good luck removing gecko’s, I am not jealous if this particular aspect 😉 x x x x
How fabulous! Have a wonderful time, you really must be so excited! #ShareWithMe
How lovely. You must be so excited. Hope you have a fabulous time #ShareWithMe
Oh wow, how exciting for you all! (even i feel excited!) Who wants to bet little mr. Arthur gets spoilt rotten? A standard procedure for any grandchild, but for one who’s been dearly missed for 7 months must have accumulated unlimited cuddles/ kisses/ dare i say presents?! & what a wonderful trip it’ll be for your parents. I’m only completely jealous…visiting the seychelles….
Lovely post xx
Oh have an amazing time with them lovely!! How exciting

How exciting! I hope you all have a lovely time. Im sure you will have forgotten all about removing gekkos by the time they arrive 🙂
Oh I hope you have a fantastic time. I loved having family over to visit when we lived abroad, and even better when they don’t actually stay with you so you still have your space as well. Good luck with the geckos!
Geckos in doorframes? You can definitely keep those! So excited for you that your parents are coming! I cannot imagine how excited you are, I hope the next few days go quickly for you x
How exciting! As for the deep-cleaning when your parents are coming, I have that one at the back of my mind, too… my mum is coming over next month! x Mel #ShareWithMe
Oh lovely how exciting I bet you literally cannot wait to see them. And for a month too, I bet you will have the best time. How lovely for them too and I bet they are just as excited. x
Awh, I hope you all have a wonderful time, family time is precious! 🙂 jay x
Ooh how exciting! I bet Arthur will look so different to them now 🙂 Haha definitely not jealous of the geckos! #binkylinky
Haha! Yes! I flipping am! 😉 how awesome to have them over for so long though. X
I hope you have a lovely month and the relationship really blossoms between your parents and Arthur. Loving the fishy theme on the blog by the way #binkylinky
this is my dream. for my mother to stay with us and finally hug my son. its been 3 years since we last saw her and my son was 4 months old then. Hopefully it wont stay a dream. hopefully we will really see her soon.

I dont know what a gecko is but it sounds vile. Still envy you your seychelles life though
I’m so thrilled for you guys, I just love it when we have visitors! Skype is fantastic but nothing beats being able to share your day-to-day life with the people you love. And then they go home knowing what everything is like and able to visualiseit when you next talk. It makes a world of difference, especially when you get a bit lonely! Know what you mean about the mad cleaning beforehand too. Good luck with them geckos 😉
Children grow so quickly its so important that grandparents see as much of them as possible. Its hard when your parents don’t live nearby. I expect they’ll spend the whole time spoiling Arthur rotten and maybe you can have some chill out time. #binkylinky
I love having my parents come to stay! Sadly they don’t come as often as they think that with 3 kids we have enough to do :-/ I hope you have a lovely time!
x x x
I hope you have a lovely time together, I live right on top of my family so I don’t know what it like to be so far away #binkylinky
Wonderful! Have a fun visit. x #sharewithme
Wow, you guys are going to have the best month ever. No wonder you are so excited and how adorable is that photo of the little man peeking out the window. Love it. Shame about the dead geckos 🙁 have a wonderful time with your family and thanks so much for linking up to #madmidweekbloghop
