Half term has been and gone! Another week of all sorts! Its been nearly two weeks of constant celebrations...Mama has come all the way from Romania, and we had enjoyed two big and fat and exciting parties for the Diamond Jubilee of our beloved Queen Elisabeth and some lovley long sleeps, cuddles and such. This weekend we had the Dickensian Festival which we had dropped in to see for a little while, then we enjoyed Shorne Country Park on Sunday. We are so blesed we have fab places around us to go and enjoy.
My two wonderful boys are scooting together so very well. In this photo above I recognise my dad (in Reuben) and my mum undoubtedly in Zac. Its sooo scary but so exciting...to have them so very much like my parents who I loved and miss so much...but also to see my kids for whom they are really Reuben and Zac.
Everyone was looking at my Zac scooting around as though he was born on wheels. Yeah, I know should have had his helmet and all on but my kids never did the helmet thing and their coordination is just brilliant. I am not saying they are not accidental cause God knows we had our fair share but they seem to be better on wheels then on foot!!:))) I really must get them some helmets. Anyway, Zac was so good on his scooter that I just had to start showing off myself too and I loved it...I might get a scooter myself after all its a healthy excercise.
Zac, gosh he is such a good footballer...I am forever hoping soon he will be spotted and picked up for England team cause he is got some kicks and also he has good juggling or whatever thats called ...he passes on the ball brilliantly...I do have two brothers that are fab at football and rather crazy for it too...but I am no Beckham myself:) I am looking for a football activity for both boys if anyone happens to know any pls contact me ASAP.
Dickensian Festival meant some trains and generally expensive rides at both Castle and Vines Park. Here he just seen his neighbour and friend Henry Charles whom we have not seen for a while ....they really did enjoy a bit of a ride.
Some of the activities during half term were just painting and chilling and making things. here we made a house for peppa pig out of some cardboard packadgeing.
mama has done the best soups while here. This is carrott and cauliflower soup with potatoes too..Zac had 4 servings.
Although he wasnt so very keen on mama at times he did enjoy a cuddle or two...! Zac still has wonderful 2 hour long naps day time and I get to nap sometimes too. I am loving his naps and hope they last as long as Reuben;s which was nearly til he was 4 and often he does have a sleep even now at mid day or when Zac naps.
We did some gardening too...we now have strawberries, tomatoes, various flowers and beans (yes R has beans) in the garden. Now while we were gardening....we found about 20 snails...and Zac loved collecting them. He also wanted to eat them...just like his brother some 3 years ago...yuk...whats wrong with my boys?! - Still, I have to say he did not eat them and got the idea they were to be sent to a better world...snail heaven as I do want to enjoy both my plants and my flowers....
I am noticing a lot of temper with Zac, he thrives when out and about and loves loves eating after a good hour or so of fun, His favourite place right now is KIDZ ZONE and I am kind of promising 1ce a week to take him there. I like the fact that we have activities that suit us and since I moved both boys to the top floor its sane again in my house. I am noticing that Reuben leads the play for Zac and although only 2 and 4 months Zac happily plays with Reuben with whatever Reuben happens to play. Today both wanted to be ninjas so I had to dress them up in toilet paper as really thats all I can afford right now:)) but really was so much fun I was slightly taken aback and now I am contemplating what other games we can do with toilet paper....I guess we could have a tracking and ballancing game too....
I hope soon Zac drops his temper and we can have some peaceful conversations. it would also help if the rain would just stop so we can enjoy some sunshine and garden play....after all its summer and really seems we only had seldom sunshine this year so far. Well I surley know what we are now praying for on a daily basis. But hey ho at least we are not ill. THANK GOD FOR OUR HEALTH and all.
