Did he eat 3 shredded wheat for breakfast?

Family day, Ben working in the morning so waited until the rains stopped and then introduced Rivan to wellie boots – the smallest pair we have are still too big for him but with 3 pairs of socks they stayed on. Jumping with both kids in arms used to be...

Sunny slippy ice

A welcomed appearance of the sunshine today, with all the rain and grey days we have had it was great to wake to blue skies and sunshine – just what we all needed. Having had a hard frost last night there was lots of ice on the road and the kids were...

Home made with love

After our visit to some dear friends yesterday, the children had been given a wonder Santa for their door – home made quilting, carefully sewn with love and care with little bells on the end of his hat. It is a beautiful hand crafted chappie now hangs...

Girls night out - much needed

No crèche today for Rivan (yesterday a bank holiday and then they have taken today as a holiday also to make it a long weekend). It was nice spending the afternoon with the kids, despite the weather – I stupidly thought that I would ignore the weather...

Party party party

Forecast was for snow last night but as I opened the shutters the ground was not white, however it did start snowing mid morning and I secretly hoped that it would not settle (as pretty as it is) as we had two parties to go to today. With baked lemon...

Sleep needed

Today I decided to put Ruby back into her cot as she has been getting up earlier and earlier each morning, to the point that she is rising with me around 6 – 6.30. This combined with her deciding that she does not want an afternoon nap has resulted in...

Just hanging out at home

Was woken early by Ben’s work on the phone, had a slight headache from the wine last night so decided to stay up make some strong black coffee to kick start my day and flick on the computer. Uneventful morning, Ruby a bit tired from her evening up with...

A sad empty holiday village

“That’s too loud for my ears” was the noise I woke to (above the crying of Rivan) as I sat having a pee this morning. Rivan spotted me getting out of bed to go to the bathroom and started crying, woke Ruby and she came out of her room cross at the noise....

Migrating cranes

Migrating cranes fill the sky at the moment, on the way to school there must have been several hundred in the sky, gracefully making their way to warmer climates. Each year we note the cranes flying overhead, you can hear them before you actually see...

And the sun shone

« Did Father Christmas come last night mummy » were the first words from Ruby’s mouth this morning. I said that I thought he had come as there were some presents in the stockings hanging under the tree. I wished her a merry Christmas and then we went...

Nearly 1st December

Watching children as they feel the rhythm of the music made me realise how self conscious we become as adults. At the body movement workshop this morning all the kids enjoyed skipping, sliding, jumping and running to the beat of the music. Rivan loved...

Another year younger!

To all those Capricorns out there, you know what it is like having a birthday either before, in between or after Christmas and at least my birthday is not on Christmas day (unlike one of my friends). When I was little I remember being quite resentful...

Snot clothes for the lady

You may have noticed that for a change Ruby is not in pink. “Is this a fashion statement” I hear you shout, has she suddenly changed her colour palate as is brings out her eyes? In short the answer is no, it is to hide the snot and blood that she is sneezing...

Goodbye 2010

The last day of 2010 is here – where has the last year gone? I know as you get older the faster the time goes. Highlights during my year have been; 1. Our holiday to Ireland – our first family holiday and what a great one it was! 2. 10 years of marriage...

Return to school

Back to school already for the kids this morning and many of them found it hard being separated from their parents having spent the last couple of weeks at home. Ruby too said she did not want to go to school today but stay at home instead – tugging at...

Baby its cold outside

Cold and freezing outside, as we got Ruby dressed this morning we noticed that Moofa cat was sitting on the sandpit – I did not think much of it and then remembered that is was full of water with all the rain we have had and this had frozen – he looked...

now snow snow

Yeh we finally had some decent snow overnight that we could all enjoy today – as I opened the shutters I had my fingers crossed that there would be a nice covering of white virginal snow – and my wishes were granted. Just the tyre tracks in the road of...

Dangerous driver?

Everyone slept well last night and woke in happy moods. The weather has warmed up a little and although a blustery wind prevailed this morning, we all set out to feed the animals. Rivan happy to be walking rather than tucked up in his pushchair and Ruby...

Singing in the rain

Snow is melting as fast as it tumbled into our lives. We are all glad of the warmer weather but at the same time sad that we have to say goodbye to the white blanket that covered our world for a few days and kept us cocooned as a family in our warm nest....

Gardening companions

Second full day at school for Ruby this morning and I had spent some time talking with about why she did not like the canteen as this seemed to be the only part of her day that she did not enjoy. She said that she did not like all the noise and the food,...

Christmas crowns for our door

Each year as Christmas approaches I always think that I have loads of time and then all of a sudden 10 days disappear and I am making lists to get things done (write and post the cards and presents in time to arrive in the UK and Ireland, finish making...

You might not be her for Christmas but you are on our tree!

Decorating the tree has always been a special time, each year as I decorate the tree (or house if I have not had a tree) I take the time to think over the last year, what events have changed our lives, how the kids have grown, what we were doing last...
