Not again!!!!

Poor Emily!!!! We went to one of Hannahs school friends birthday parties today and Emily didn't really want to go till I talked her into it.. then I talked her into playing with Josh and Matilda.. and regretted it! Half way through the party I was helping Hannah get party food when someone called over and told me Emily was crying, when I got to her she was in a real state, holding her arm telling me it was broken! I could tell just by looking at her elbow it was more than broken but totally dislocated! Raced her to the hospital, allot of morphine and doctors poking and xrays have confirmed dislocation and fracture and it's really serious :'( she has to have an operation in the morning!!

Giddy up!

For Nanny's birthday we went to Pontefract races for the day! The weather was lovely so armed with a 'posh' pic-nic off we went. I was expecting the girls might get a bit bored but I was totally wrong. By the time we figured out if we won or not there was only 15mins to pick our next horses for the next race which the girls loved! We didn't win many but we did strike even just before we set off home. Was a lovely day out and can't wait to go again!

Bed invasion!

The cutest bed invader ever! How am I supposed to drag myself out of bed when all I want to do is lay here and look at that angelic face!

Emilys 8th Birthday!

For her birthday Emily wanted to take her friend Ruby to Xscape so that's what we did :) we had a living room picnic at home first then set off to Castleford. We went bowling first. Ruby was winning all the way through till the last set when Emily took the win! We then went on some battery ride on animals which was great fun then on to McDonald's for tea. All the kids slept very well that night heehee

My little angels!

Both girls got picked to be Angels this year (well technically Hannah was supposed to be a snow flake) they looked so beautiful up there :) super proud mummy!

Hannah is 5!

For Hannahs 5th Birthday we hired Balne Lane wmc and hired a huge bouncy castle and she invited all her girl friends from school. It was a really good turn out, everyone had a fantastic time and the party food was yum! Auntie Rie very kindly made a music cd and every other song was 'let it go' from Frozen, especially for the birthday girl haha

Catch Up!

Well lots of things have happened in the last 18 months and im kicking myself for not keeping up to my blog :(

 

 

Emily has had a rough time of it and lots of time off school resulting in her having her tonsils removed, she was so super brave I was very proud of her, she has also had a fractured elbow recently following a fall at school! but things are looking up and her attendance is improving.  She is doing really well in school, in fact only yesterday the head teacher pulled me over to tell me about some advanced maths papers Emily did very well with which made me burst with pride :)

 

Hannah attends pre-school 3 afternoons a week, she has lost allot of her fiery temper and her behaviour has improved loads! She is doing really well at learning her phonics and I am hopeful that I will have her reading stage 1 books before she starts school in September :)

 

 We had a very muddy weekend at the farm last August, the field was a mess and probably should have been a disaster but it turned out to be one of the best farm weekends ever! The girls had such a great time and will never forget the memories of slopping about in their welly boots hehe

 

 

As I mentioned Emily fractured her elbow after a fall at school so now that's both girls had their left arm in a cast! My poor babies! She was so super brave despite lots of pain and had to have her arm cast in a really arkward position for 15 days which left her muscle strained and really sore but thankfully following a few days physiotherapy she is back to normal now :)

 

 

After Emily had her tonsils out I bought her a new bunny to snuggle for being such a brave girl, she called her Blossom and she loves her nearly as much as she loves me! Santa brought her lots of teddy clothes at Christmas and every day she changes her into appropriate clothes for the day and gets her ready for bed haha

 

 

Both girls love playing outside and anything linked to nature, they love helping me in the garden and taking their toys outside. This spring we took bowls of food coloured water in the garden and the girls collected grass cuttings and petals to make magic potions! Emily's was a love potion and Hannah's was a sleeping potion :)

They both appreciate the simple things in life and will play for hours with the cheapest silliest toys inventing games. for the most part they play lovely together. Emily always leads the games and Hannah is very good at playing along and following directions.  Hannah idolises Emily and although she often complains about her i know Emily realises how lucky she is to have her very own little play mate :)

 

Emily has been prescribed glasses for reading and concentrated vision, she is over the moon about it and couldn't wait to get them so she could take them to school to show her friends haha. She picked out some purple Hello Kitty frames that match her school uniform colours and looks so sweet in them :) Hannahs eyes seem to be ok so she was very upset she didn't need any real glasses so we bought her some pretend ones from the pound shop to cheer her up haha

 I count my blessings every day that I have these two beautiful little people, they are my everything and I am so proud of them even if they have inherited my crazy!
