Penny & Theo
Two hellions, ruining my training routine, sleep patterns, dietary choices and wallet.

But, gotta say, I'm pretty fond of them these days.

Need to stop training with people who have bigger calves than me, it's just embarrassing.

Today Theo was working on a bit of volume for his lifts after spending all week maxing out and hitting gnarly PBS. h/He's a good little gym rat but gets pretty cranky if he doesn't get his post workout nap. (FAO: Parent Police - Jokes)

Sun was out and he didn't want to nap so we had a but of fun in the sun

Working on perfecting my BBQ wings & Buffalo sauce recipes.

Hide the wings at the back of the smoker whilst your working on the main cuts, after you've left them brined and in a spice rub, then after a few hours, toss them into a special mix to make sure they crisp up and move them into the direct heat alby the firebox of the smoker whilst we're working on other stuff means we've got an awesome snack for lunch all ready 👌

Trigger Warning: Parenting. Friday, Alexa came ho

Trigger Warning: Parenting.

Friday, Alexa came home feeling low. She had been making a Mothering Sunday card in school.

Alexa is still young, she has a huge extended family with multiple carers, step-everythings, half brothers, sisters and much more.

She doesn't really understand what all those things mean, they're just her family members to her and we co-parent between biological and step-parents

In school she wanted to make TWO cards for mother's Day - A card for, her biological mother, the mother of the five children we have in this home and for her step-mother. The mother to her & her half brother and every child in their home.

Nope.

Her teacher told her she was "only allowed to make a card for "your (her) REAL mother, the mother who gave birth to you (her)"
This upset her.

--well shit, that's just opened a can of worms now hasn't it--

What were the foster children allowed to do?
What did the children who had no contact with their mothers make?
What about the child born into the family with two mums?
What did the child who is being brought up by their grandparents do?
How did they handle the child who lost their mother recently?

Alexa is crazy lucky to have such a huge loving family and to be lucky enough to be in a situation where she doesn't even know any better than to use labels besides "parents" whilst she's still a child.

It's actually not sat well with myself or Jen at all and we've dropped the school an email to discuss this a little further on both the policy and choice of language used here.

There's a time to teach a child about genetics, inheritance and proper terminology, then there's a time to have a child make a card to give to whoever the hell they identify as their providing their 'mothering' care, even if that means there's two of them or more.

Is 'Mothering Sunday' only for biological mums?
or are we kind of past that in a day and age where families and identities are so interwoven and interchangeable and personal that the notion that celebrating anything should really just be grounded in loving, acceptance and understanding.

What do you guys think?
(Pictured Alexa's card)

Popped into @perrysofeccleshall Perry's the other week to get some belly pork for Christmas bacon ready with @originalandpest

The samples have cured and hung and this morning I get to taste test!

Paprika, garlic, oregano, cumin, coriander and clove is a clear winner - it is now destined for the Christmas dinner.

Deeelish.

#dadlife

If this doesn't perfectly sum up the not-so-instagram perfect life we all lead.

It's been 3 nights since I had more than an hour of unbroken sleep, the babies are going through a leap again.

Their little brains struggle to shut off as it's flooded with new skills, knowledge and ideas every day

The one that will sleep, sleeps starfished in the middle of the bed, because that's what works, or else her brother climbes all over her in the night... But she will be sad about something in an hour or so and need a cuddle.

We should probably get the second cot out, but we need to get another base for it and were both pretty tired - people will tell us we shouldn't co-sleep, or have toys in their cot, but it's what's working.

The other one, he turns into a human tornado once his back hits a mattress, so I've soothed him with books, dragging his naked arse around the floor and a bottle curled up at the foot of the bed, where he snuggles and sleeps and dad sleeps too from sheer exhaustion of it all.

For everyone you meet that says 'oh mine slept through from day one' - they probably aren't remembering it right and for everyone one that is, there's a dozen more who don't want to admit to finding it hard.

We've been out today and people have told me how nice it is I'm out with them, asking if mums having some time off whilst I babysit - don't get me started... 🤣

It's tough being a parent, really tough.

But it's pretty cool too

So next time you as a parent feel overwhelmed, or are tempted to Google 'how long should my 9month old sleep per night)

Just remember that it will all pass and aslong as they're happy, healthy and not too messed up by the time they are grown, you've done a great job.

So to all my imperfect parental buds out their, regardless of if your achievement is raising a pup that has learnt to not shit all over the rug and piss on visitors (good habits for kids too) or you're raising a human that will someday pay into the system to ensure I can get my knees replaced when I'm old, no matter how shit you're doing today - I think you're doing pretty okay.

Happy whatever, every day is an adventure.

💕

When you're having a baby, everyone always talks about 'the best cot' or 'most streamlined buggy' and things like 'setting up your sensory area' but noone ever talks about which coffee machine you are absolutely going to need.

'Another 4am and we're ready to go' - supported by those clever folks at DeLongi and Grumpy Mule 😂

Get the interested in fire and food from an early age and it will pay off for them in dividends, when it comes to their health and their wallet, years down the line.

If you see a little spark, throw it some fuel.

Rack of ribs from @perrysofeccleshall smoked for 8 hours - Alexa for scale.

Throwback to that time #kristenwiig out-lifted me and all my bros in the gym without even breaking a sweat.

Yes, that my real hair in a legendary perm.

Haven't had a chance to watch the new film yet, as we're in the UK, but I'm assured it's wonderfully 80s, feel good classic super hero wholesome fun.

This was absolutely the most enjoyable production I've been on, although my American accent clearly needs work 😬
The crew were amazingly warm, even though I was purely there to ham everything up, also this time it didn't involve me getting repeatedly trampled by horses this time, and I got to eat at the craft van. 🏋️win.

So, the post loads of you have been itching for;

After a long day yesterday, two little potatoes came to join our hectic family at around midnight.

It's been weird going through all of this during lockdown and local pandemics and a house move, but we made it through.

Jen did great, with only a minor scare when twin two decided shed starfish and flip flop as soon as her brother has vacated their "bedwomb" going transverse.

But after only one day everyone is back home!

Meet Penny and Theo.

Mum is well, but a little tired and Penny is quite bruised and delicate but happy, healthy and feeding.

The dogs seem quite keen on them too.

One final date night with her before all hell bursts fourth on Monday. (Twinnies due to debut sometime on the 7th)

Just us, a nice meal and the new house to ourselves tonight.

Jen only has a small apetite these days, so we went for Tapas. 🤔

Now for a glass of whiskey and a cuddle up for the night.
