Sian's 1st Lego land trip

Can't remember for the LIFE of me what this ride is called, but it involves pulling yourself up to the top as fast as you can and then either holding yourself up there or letting yourself down and starting again!

Rick playing in a marquee, the girls were watching a show

Learning to drive

OOps I crashed!

I got my license!

Spinning Spider!

Yay, We're No1!

2 down 1 to go!

Now Beth has the chicken pox. Sian and Daddy have gone to legoland without us today. To go on all the "grown up rides"

Beth and I are indulging in some vanilla fudge (yes, BEFORE lunch LOL) and then after lunch we're going to play some wii- I'm just charging up the wii mote. I think I need to re-synch one of them as when we added the wii fit board they both ended up un-synching.

As with Sian when she had chicken pox, Beth will be offered pizza hut for lunch (thank you vouchercodes!) with a hefty discount. OR we'll have pizza for tea and packed lunch in her lunch box for Beth as Daddy & Sian have picnic lunch at legoland

We just got a call from Clive, he and Sian have been on more rides in half an hour than I've been on in three visits to the park!

Yumminess. So bad for my waist!

We went blackberry picking and there is crumble waiting in the oven to go with Pasta bake for dinner. I will try not to give in to the desire to buy custard to go with it!

I have choc-choc-chip muffins baking in the oven. MMmmmm! Never made them before but I'm a good cake baker I keep getting told LOL

The chocolate brownie recipe is waiting for my next instalment in the kitchen (minus the nuts, I don't like them)

And I have a fudge recipe waiting for me to try when all the kids are in bed.

As I wait for the muffins to finish, Rick is sitting in the doorway playing peek-a-boo with me. He leaves one eye poking round the corner so he can see me. So cute and the digicam is out of batteries and my phone is in the other room. He gets a big grin everytime I pop forwards!

during chicken pox confinement......

Sian decided to use the pox spots to play dot-to-dot

We ate lots of (not really!) chocolate

And watched too much TV

Beth got even cheekier (didn't think that was possible!)

And after his treat I found Rick asleep in his highchair after fighting it for hours. Bathtime tonight!

Quack, Quack!

Mother fox went out on a cold winters night....

Badger snuffled his way through the woods

The pheasant thought the sunshine was pleasant

Mr Otter cooled off in the shady stream

Why can't I snorkel?

Look out for hunters!

C'mon in the waters lovely!

Can I see any birds?

watching the other drivers

I got my "license"

Legoland (1)

The begining of legoland. Beth took this photo of the entrance while we were waiting for Grandma and Richard and her cousins.

There is someone missing from this photo- and some extras that don't belong to us LOL. But it was the only way to fit all the children AND the dino clock in.

These are the rides that Beth can ride on.

We need the loo, say Beth and her new friends.

Quickly, Beth's gone already!

Poor Sian :o(

Sian has managed to get the chicken pox from where we know not! Probably school as they finished two weeks ago.

Yesterday she was meant to go to Legoland with us to see her Grandma & Richard and her cousins who are staying with them this week. She ended up staying at GrannyJan & Grandads for the day instead (thanks mum and dad, hope you're resting today!)

Today she was meant to have a friend over to play. Tomrow was yoga- I was going to send Beth in her place but Clive has decided he can work now (grr he KNEW he was meant to take Rick to baby clinic tomorrow!)

Thursday we were meant to be at soft play and Friday we have our tickets for a trip to see her friends in Swindon!

Who'll be next? Beth or Rick?

Forget Wally LOL. Where's Sian?

This is the sight that greeted DH and I the other night...

There are two children in the bed really!


So not sure why I try keeping their bedroom tidy LOL. A couple of days later their beds look like libraries and the toys are once again over the floor!

1st chocolate!

Photos in reverse order as usual LOL. I just realised I can't remember *when* Beth had her first chocolate. I know Sian was almost 2 before she had milk chocolate but had dark her 2nd easter.

All gone!

Hmm....What a messy boy!

It tasted Yummy!

How big a chunk of chocolate can I eat?

It's gone, I want more!
