'You've got your hands full'

Multiple mayhem -- a carnival of posts about twins and more

PHEW. Thank you so much for all your support of this special week on You've Got Your Hands Full which has reminded me why I set this blog up in the first place and put me in touch with some fabulous blogs, some already familiar, others new to me.

If you can say one thing that unites all parents of multiples, well it's that they're busy.

Forgive me for stating the obvious. So I didn't know what to expect with my planned carnival. I've ended up with a dozen or so entries and so I'm delighted.

In all honesty this was very short notice so if anyone wants to make this a more regular feature, with us taking turns to host a monthly carnival, then please shout up and we can kick off an on-going Multiples Mayhem carnival?

The guest posts this week and the carnival entries have made me laugh and made me cry. I hope our small but perfectly formed carnival informs and entertains. 

Thanks for the memories, Vinegar Tits

They just don't make 'em like that any more. Sigh.

Are you a 'good enough' mum? Course you are!

CHANCES are if you've asked yourself that question, the answer's pretty likely to be yes. Don't you agree?

The above video was shot at our office by Mario from Someone Once Told Me and features the gorgeous Grace Marshall who runs a group in Stafford for mums who work for themselves, which my dear friend and colleague Carol has also been involved with.

I had reason to watch this video today and thought I'd include it here.

Hope you like it.

Chickens in the mood: Norman Collier and Jimmy Cricket

LAST week I posted a video of Freddie 'Parrot Face' Davies' which made me laugh thanks to Steve. This week, here's a video of two grown men pretending to be chickens.

Cheers.

Gorgeous singing from twin boys - they're going to be big some day!

WHEN this blog was all about twins, triplets and more, I used to regularly post cute videos from YouTube. I thought I'd do it again for a change. These boys are just wonderful!

Sights and sounds that make me smile, tagged by Rosie Scribble

TWO soups? I love this sketch. I've chosen it as an image that makes me smile after being tagged by Rosie Scribble. She also wants to know a song that makes me feel happy too - that'll be Wake me up before you go go, by Wham. (But not Everything she wants even if I was in the crowd at the NEC when the video was filmed, don't you know.)

I'm tagging the following bloggers: Laura, Erica, Trisha, Alice, Insomniac Mum

Good Day to you.

THANK YOU to the sublime (yes sublime) Tara at Stickyfingers for including me in her Picture Perfect meme.

Here's my daughters' efforts on YouTube, along with lots of other online friends as seen by their little 'uns - and that's thanks to Erica at LittleMummy, whose video skills I have long encouraged, don't you know.
