Parking!

Me and Nanna had been thinking it might be a good idea to take Emily to the park as she hasnt been for a long time, but on the way past in the car i could see it was heaving and remembered it was half-term and not such a good idea.

So instead we took her to the play area in the middle of Lupset, which as it happens had far more facilities than the one in Thornes Park.

Anyway after about 20 mins we was awfully cold, our cheeks were chapped and a dirty big grey cloud was forming overhead so i told Emily it was time to leave.

To which pouting at me with her gorgeous little face she announced "aww mum im just Parking, i love Parking mum!"

Cheeky Monkeys

Me and Nanna took Emily to an indoor play area today called Cheeky Monkeys, apart from a very brief visit when she was about 14 months old when she fell over on a plastic see-saw and put her bottom teeth through her top lip she hasnt really been to one yet.
Well she was very excited when we arrived, there was kids everywhere, screaming running about .. the little heathens. Not a good idea to go to such a place on a Saturday it turns out.
This place was great apart from the fore-mentioned brats everywhere, the facilities were great and lots to do for a child of Emily's age.
She is still quite shy with other kids and was like a little lost soul till i went in and rescued her but to be fair on her, these kids even intimdated me!
I think she had a good time though, she certainly burned off some energy and flaked out in the car ..

Meet Frosty

Fancy us getting real snow for a change it was lovely fluffy, clean, deep and fun!
While Emily, Nanna and Grandad waited for me to get home from work, Grandad made a great sledge out of a plastic storage box which worked a treat!

Then of course i had to build Emily a snowman, which she thought was fantastic :0)

To say she wasnt cold, "im not cold Mummy, im just playin snow!" she took some warming up when i finally convinced her we deserved a cup of tea for our hard work.

After a strip down, dry and a packet of crisps and a hot water bottle from Nanna she was good as new!
