I love children. Even with life being hard over the last month or so, the boys have still been having lots of fun! They have been busy indeed...
First there was making cheese and onion pies at Grandma's house
Friends for tea and a lovely walk down by the canal
Then it was - Mum can you make me a FISH? erm... yes Zacharaiah...
You can't really see from the pictures but he is happy on one side
and sad on the other side
(ps. Thanks Ellia for the buttons)
The whole family enjoyed a beautiful rainy afternoon in the forest which was great fun. Dad pretended to get stuck in the bog which made everyone laugh when his wellie came off!
We had a great day out seeing Blackpool illuminations (which took two and a half hours to drive through - cold - but luckily we had blankets to keep us toasty!)
Gradings for Karate! Rupert is now a purple belt and Zach has just received his white belt with yellow stripe.
Zach was the farmer in the turnip song at school. Well done Zach!
Finally today, Rupert enjoyed the Viking Day at School. A REAL viking came for the day to share with year 4 about the vikings! Me and Rupert made his costume from one of dads shirts, and old scarf, a belt from the bottom of mum's wardrobe, a cardboard sword and shield, a paper mache helmet with paper visor (adapted from the spaceman helmet from a previous birthday party), a pocket of viking coins in a little purse, a brooch printed off the internet and arm rings made from tinsel and selotape.
Wow, I've actually managed to post today - it's been a while. Oh! how nice it is to be back... x
So glad I checked in on you today..welcome back! Sounds like life is good with you. I really like the Viking outfit. DS is due to do them in the Spring term so i'll be back to see how you did it! Thought of you last night...did you watch the last Spooks?

So glad you are doing well and that you and the kiddies are "creating" again. Love these photos so much, esp. the viking (however, one of my 4-year olds is insisting it is a knight ;-)
