Happy Christmas!

A few days ago Emily took herself off in the dining room to make Christmas presents out of the craft equipment, she made a paper concertina fish and coloured them in, a paper ring for Nanna and she wouldn't tell me what mine was, she wrapped it and put it under the tree.

 

When I opened it I burst out crying

 

 

It says - "No place like home"

 



Dont worry mummy

Emily overheard parts of a conversation she really shouldn't have yesterday about money, she disappeared into the play room and came back with a beautiful card that choked me...
 

and then inside...

 

I have the most amazing children and im so so proud of them both, we could all learn allot from Emily!

Tonsils finally out

Well we had an early start at the hospital this morning and had to starve poor Emily for her operation but she didn't complain.  I went with her down to the theatre and was with her as they put her to sleep.  She was playing a game on an I-pad and totally distracted but I was a little alarmed they administered the antithetic while she was sat up talking so she slumped like a sack of potatoes which upset me, its such an upsetting stressful experience and even though iv done it twice before it doesn't get any easier :(

 

Thankfully it didn't take too long before they brought her back all sleepy and feeling grotty and Nanna and Daddy arrived to spoil her with magazines and sweetys :) It was a very long day but we was finally discharged at 5pm, homeward bound for lots of TLC

Emily is Ruby the dog!

Emily was cast as Ruby the Dog in the school panto which was really great as she has has so much time off school and her attendance unpredictable I thought they may give her a minor unimportant role so it was lovely to go to the play today and watch her, she wasn't impressed that the dog suit had teddy bear ears though hehe

 

 

Un-Happy Birthday Hannah :'(

My poor little birthday girl has been up all night sick! What a nightmare, from 11pm till 5:30am unable to keep anything down or sleep, will have to cancel today's birthday plans my poor little darling was a total trooper, no crying or feeling sorry for herself, time to try some water again after a few hours sleep

 

Hannah'ism

Me: "Right then I better put you to bed for the last time as a 3 year old, when did you get such a lovely big girl?"
Hannah: "I'm still your little darling!!"

Two poorly girls

Well Emily got sent home from school yesterday, sore throat cough pale and lethargic, here we go again, rest of the week off for my little miss. Took her to doctors this morning for a 10 day course of erythromycin that will carry her over nicely to her tonsillectomy on the 16th then another week off school. Caved in and bust the Disney films out I bought for Christmas, got my two beautiful girls tucked up on the sofa with a blanket, lights off, surround sound up and Tinkerbell on :)

Playing with the playfood

Hannah "What shall I make you mum?"
Me "Ooo can I have a cup of tea please?"
Hannah "Do you want a big cup or a little one?"
Me "Erm can I just have a little one please"
Hannah "No mum ... you have a big mouth so you need a big one"

So Pretty!

Took the girls to Ikea yesterday and it turned out to be a really good rainy day out, after hot dogs and doughnuts they had their faces painted for free then we had fun in the display rooms and icecream on the way out :)

 

 

Spooky!

This year I let the girls get dressed up properly for Halloween, they actually got to have twice the fun because they was invited to a school party, we just visited family and friends but the girls loved it and understand why I wont let them go knocking on doors.  They are both very wise for their age because I often remind them about stranger danger and remind them that its my job to keep them safe so they don't complain :) Emily looked super scary in her blood stained white dress! eeek!

School photos

We had to get up at an unearthly hour to get to school this morning for a photo together but im so glad we did, the girls did me proud and did exactly as the photographer said and the results show, im so happy with all the pictures she took, can see this costing me a bomb when the order forms come hehe

 

Sundown

Im such a lucky mummy, we had such a magical day today after a long drive we arrived at Sundown Adventure Land, watching the wonder and excitement on their faces was awesome, worth every penny!

 

The whole place is just one magical discovery after another including small rides, lots of interactive things to do, you could visit Goldilocks and the 3 bears house, candy village that smelt of sweeties and had a bubble fountain spouting bubbles everywhere and enormous sandpits and play areas!

We will be revisiting next summer for sure, worth every penny!

 

 

Day at Cleethorpes

 Today we took the girls to Cleethorpes and dropped on for the most beautiful day ever! The sun was shining and we spent the whole day on the beach playing. 

 

 

The girls loved it because the tide was up high which meant they was close enough to let them run back and forth paddling by themselves

 

My poor baby!

Poor Hannah been up for an hour with fever crying that she has had an accident in bed when she hasn't, I don't think she even knows where she is please kick in medicine!!

Poorly Hannah

My poorly princess fell asleep on the trampoline, she wouldn't believe me when i told her she was too tired and poorly to play out bless her x

 

 

Tooth Fairy :)

Emily is falling to bits!! Looks like the tooth fairy will be visiting us for the first time tonight!!

Bugs Live!

Look what my little nature lover has stuck on the back door lol

 

Shoe Fetisch?

Oh boy was this sort out well overdue! Haha!!

 

First day at Pre-school

My beautiful girl had a great first day at school, never even bat an eyelid when I left her but was very happy to see me at home time and skipped along telling me everything she did :) I knew she would take this in her stride, she cant wait to be a big girl

 

Little Hannah growing up too fast!

I just enrolled my teeny Hannah to pre-school .... wahh stop the train, i wanna get off!

Parents Evening

Thrilled with Emilys Parents Evening, she is slightly above average with her Reading, 6months ahead with her writing and almost a year ahead with her math! This has been a tough year for her with lots of time off with Chickenpox and Tonsilitis and she has still pulled a report like this, SOOO PROUD!!!

More snow yipeee!

We got even more snow this morning so the girls ran outside in their snow suits to build a snowman in our front garden (with a little help from Mummy) I left them to use their own creative flair with decorating and Emily ran in the house and found her Cinderella wig and they made it into a snow princess haha, so sweet!

 

Let it snow let it snow let it snow!!

YAY SNOW!!!

 

We grabbed our sledges and went up to Auntie Shells house to go sledging at a small park area near their house and it was amazing fun! The little hill is perfect for the girls, just enough but not too much and they could even easily drag their own sledge back up the hill, the best snow fun we have ever had they couldn't get enough bless them, we had to head home when their snow suits got soggy but we was out for a good hour before the cold got too much :)

 

My big girl is 6 !!

Well my beautiful Emily is 6 !! On her birthday we had a decoy family gathering with a little tea party as I had told Emily I couldn't afford to have parties every year.... but she has no idea that the following day she was to have a surprise party haha.

 

I booked Ossett Methodist and a bouncy castle and invited as many friends as I could at short notice and Aunty Shell took Emily on a wild goose chase while we set up, she had no idea at all and was totally blown away when she walked in and saw all her friends.

 

As per usual our amazing family pulled together and the parents on her school friends mucked in and we had a brilliant time :)

 

Happy Birthday sweetheart!
