![[AD] The sun has finally made an appearance and the boys have been making the most of it by spending it
in the garden.
They’re go-to is always football and they’ve been trying to improve their aim and accuracy with the new Messi Foldable Footlball goal from the #MessiTrainingSystem range.
I love the fact the goal is foldable, making it easy to store away when not in use. It is also lightweight so you can effortlessly pack it up and take it to the park or to a friend’s house.
The Messi Foldable Football Goal retails at £36 and can be purchased from @argos

![[AD] What does family look like for you?
I am fortunate to be surrounded by strong, powerful women in the form of my mum, sister and mother-in-law (along with many others). With Mother’s Day just around the corner, @BootsUK want to celebrate all the different mums and mother figures we are lucky enough to have in our lives. They have a huge range of Mother’s Day gifts to choose from so we can show them how much they mean to us. (swipe to take a look at some of my choices)
If you want to express love and appreciation for the mother figure(s) in your life, head to Boots.com to find the ideal gift. They have a whole host of gifts, so you can be sure to find something to suit all tastes. Celebrate the #LoveForAllMums this Mother’s Day with Boots.

![📚 Are you ready for World Book Day? 📚
[AD - Gifted] I don't know about you, but I have never made the boys a costume for #WorldBookDay. I just don't have it in me to be creative that way. Their costumes have always been bought or cobbled together with what we already have, and luckily, the school allow you to wear pyjamas to school, which makes things a lot easier!
M has been living in his @TheRealTomGates pyjamas recently, and I think he might wear these when his World Book Day dress-up day comes around (the school celebrate with Book Week rather than just Book Day)
The boys have been fans of Tom Gates for a while now. M has always loved reading books that make him laugh and contain humour - they tend to keep him engaged in reading.
Did you know that there are now 20 Tom Gates storybooks to get stuck into? Ideal for kids aged 6-12, the series consists of feel-good, hilarious books full of photos and stories about Tom's life at home and school. Best of all, you can read them in any order.
The latest book is Tom Gates: Happy to Help (Eventually), and along with the pyjamas, you can pick them up from @GeorgeAtAsda just in time for World Book Day!
There's also a range of Tom Gates items, including games, puzzles and greeting cards at major retailers.

Interview with M, aged 3 years and 3 weeks
I saw a post from Five Little Doves last week where she interviewed her 3-year-old and asked a bunch of questions. I thought it would be a great idea to do the same with my boys.
First up, I interviewed M who recently turned three. Having only just turned three and being a bit of a fidget he wouldn’t sit still to answer my questions, so I asked them while he was playing with his trains.
Let’s see what he has to say for himself!
1. How are you feeling today?
Three
errr… ok?
2. What makes you happy?
Three
Didn’t you just say that?
3. What makes you sad?
I was sad on the carpet because I was
He is referring to carpet time at nursery here as he’d just come home from a morning there…I tried to find out more but he wouldn’t elaborate
4. What do you want to be when you grow up?
Three mummy!
Obviously he thinks I’ve forgotten he is already three. It was only a couple of weeks ago!
5. What is your favourite food?
Chips
This is news to me – I thought it would have been spaghetti or chicken nuggets?
6. Describe Mummy?
Sick
He’s right – I’ve been poorly this week with a sore throat and cough
7. Describe Daddy?
Daddy, seven, eight, nine, ten
(I have no idea what that means…)
8. Who created the world?
Me!
Ha – you wish M!
9. What is the queen’s job?
Eating
Don’t let the Queen hear you say that – she won’t be too pleased!
10. Who is the prime minister?
Err don’t know
I don’t blame you for not knowing!
11. What did you dream last night?
Don’t know
I see a recurring theme of “I don’t know” here
12. What would you like to do tomorrow?
I was to go on a climbing frame
OK… but you do that at nursery?!
13. Where in the world do you want to go?
I want to go to a shop with chips again with holiday
Mentioning chips again? I really didn’t know you liked them that much?!
14. Why do we celebrate Christmas?
I don’t know
Obviously forgotten about the presents already!
15. Where does the tooth fairy live?
Fairy lives too far away
You could be right there – the tooth fairy probably does live very far away!
16. What is your favourite animal?
Giraffe
Who knew? He has never mentioned Giraffes before?!
17. Who is your best friend?
Mabel
I was banking that he was going to say his brother, but instead he’s mentioned a girl from nursery!
18. What makes you laugh?
A girl
Figures from the answer to the last question!
19. Are you going to get married?
Yeh
Let me guess to Mabel? I think she’s older than you. Are you into older girls?!
20. Tell me a secret?
I don’t know!
We’re back to that again, are we?
21. Where do babies come from?
On the potty
Errr…..? I think you are getting confused. YOU are potty training at the moment
22. What do you like to watch on television?
Tube trains
And don’t we all know it?
23. How much money do you have?
Three monies
Three is very much the magic number at the moment
24. What do you do that is naughty?
I don’t know mummy!
Mmmmm too many to recall?
25. Describe yourself?
Three
Here we are with three again!
26. What is the best job in the world?
Red train crash
To be fair, I asked you while you were playing trains. It’s no wonder it makes no sense!
27. Where does Father Christmas live?
Out in the night
Interesting answer
28. Who is Jesus?
I don’t know!
* Makes a note to talk to M about Jesus*
29. What is your favourite vegetable?
Carrots
No surprise here – you do love them.
30. Are you bored with this quiz now?
Yeh..ok the train is now stopping!
Ok – questions are done, you can go back to playing with your trains!!
Have you tried interviewing your children before? Their answers might surprise you!

Haha I love this!! It is so funny!! It is so interesting to find out what are they thinking!! I will try this with Bella although she is older and I’m expecting her to have clearer answers, I’m sure she will be very confusing too! M is so cute!! Lol 🙂 xx
I did this with E too and some of his answers were also quite funny! M is a monkey and very random! lol
Hahaha this really made me laugh!! Three, chips and don’t know!! Hilarious! He’s as bad as Eva with her cake!! I tried it on my two year old yesterday and she also said that she created the world! Great read, thanks for sharing this!
Thanks Laura – it was really fun to do! I think aged 2-3 is the perfect time to ask them because they come back with such random answers!
this is so lovely and adorably cute – i wish i’d done this with mine when they were little! great post and great inspiration from @fivelittledoves #BloggersClubUK
This is so sweet!I’m going to try this with my 3 year old.She always asks me to come in the bathroom with her and while she’s sat there says “what shall we talk about” lol x #picknmix
Oh this is cute, I might do it with my 5 year old. I would probably still get some funny answers. Thanks for linking to #PickNMix
