Half Term Highlights

Today is an teacher training day, so we are off to spend the day with Grandma, original plans had to be changed due to the weather, but we have had a fantastic half term break, the weather has been mostly kind and it has been so much fun watching the boys play together.

Our Fab day at Emma Bridgewater

Baking our best in the world oat and raisin cookies

Spending time together just chilling in the garden

Watching our veg plants grow, the warm weather has made a real difference

Having fun in the paddling pool

Good job the neighbours don't mind the boys running around naked

Visiting Whiby with Grandma and having fish and chips from The Magpie and treats from the old fashions sweet shop.

Days out to the beach

We really had great weather for it (no it is not my windbreak)!

The boys spent more time wet than dry.

Lots of fun in the local parks was had too.

Before we had school and preschool I used to dread the half term holidays as all the things we did, the toddler groups would be cancelled, but now it is wonderful to spend quality time all together.  I can not wait for the summer holidays.  I hope you had a great time too.

Halcyon days - An afternoon event at the school

MadDad and I spent a wonderful afternoon at Maxi's school last Wednesday.  We had been invited for a coffee, cake and fun with the children.

I had forgotten my camera, so I took these images with the histomatic application on the iPhone - yes I know old hat by now, but I am a late adopter!

We spent a brilliant 1 and half hours listening to all the children in the year singing songs and playing games.

The weather was perfect, not too sunny, but warm.

The teaching staff had all been very busy baking and the cakes were delicious.

But the best part for us was just watching Maxi have fun in his own environment.

To be able to chat to his teacher in a relaxed environment and meet up with more of the parents.

Yes it was all to raise funds for the year group trip, but it was a fun afternoon and I want to say thankyou very much for a great way to fundraise.

A Weekend in Pictures

 

Yes, we have all had a blast!

Writing Workshop - My Spring and Summer Manifesto

Dear Voters (well my boys in this one)

We will make life fun, we will focus on laughter and giggles and grasp what we can get out of the day.

We shall enjoy the seaside and I will ensure that we have the wet suits in the car at all time.

We shall endeavor to make the most of the sunshine and of the environment around us.

We shall picnic in our secret place and run free on the moors.

We shall barbecue in the garden on a Saturday evening focusing on good food and great company.

We shall enjoy the harvest from our garden.

We will make, bake and create on a regular basis. I will not worry about the mess, or stress about the outcome.

We with feed the ducks and float homemade paper boats on the pond.

We will go on family walks and use your maps to explore new places.

We will explore the wonderful parks in the local area and find our favorites.

We will camp and explore new areas, cuddling up under our canvass.

I will try not to shout, but you will need to listen and not just hear.

We will swim and play football.
I will try to say yes more.
I will try and be the best I can.

We will dream, we will grow and we will remain family.
