Rick's turn!

Sian took this one when I wasn't looking. I love it!

We've been going to a play gym since last autumn with friends. Rick loves it in the foam pit!

At the park one sunny Saturday

Cheeky Chappy!

Sian's turn!

Sian joined the choir in the Autumn term. They sang at the Christmas Bazaar.
Playing in the leaves for homework one week. So much fun!

Baking snickerdoodles for homework one week

Sian started to learn piano. Her grasp of theory is amazing for a 7yo!

She has also been having swimming lessons since the summer and now has a little tooo much confidence around the water. Pity she still stands up to breathe!!

And the middle of February saw Sian make her Brownie Promise. She's already told me she wants to go onto Guide when she's old enough!

Been a while so some Beth time first

My baby girl is 5 now. She goes to school full time and is loving it. She can read simple books and it working hard at the tricky words too. She loves to colour and enjoys maths too (goodness knows why!!) Last week she made her Rainbow promise and is now officially a member of the Girl Guide Association. At the moment she doesn't think she wants to go onto Brownies though!

This is...

What happens when you tell my son that he can't play with the little girls doll stroller (to be fair she did want to play with it herself!)

Teeth.

Sian has a wobbly tooth. Wait, FOUR wobbly teeth. And they ALL have their adult tooth counterparts behind them already. Guess who doesn't get to take a "first lost tooth picture"

Rick has four all trying to break through at once. The first four all cut with a high temp and disgusting nappies! This time, he has a stinking cold. BUT they're almost through so it's all good!

Beth.. well hers are still there LOL

fun in the sun. easter 2010

Easter Hols this year are feeling a little looong. Especially as for this lot school finished at lunch time the Weds before Easter and Easter weekend was the first weekend. So, in an effort to relieve the boredom I decided to let the girls each invite some friends for a tea party. Beth went first and hers was a "Princess tea party" basically all pink and glittery and dressing up-y! The weather was fantastic for us so we made full use of the garden.

Evie, Chloe, Amy and Sian at Beth's princess tea party (Beth was sitting off to one side and wouldn't get in the picture)

Sian and Evie getting creative. Lots of lovely pictures were made by the girls!
