Toddler Swings

We had a walk up to the swings at Jubilee Hall today and decided to try Hannah in one of the toddler swings now she is a bit stronger with her sitting up and she loved it! This child has no fear just a massive zest for life, such a pleasant little baby

Emily'isms

Mum be quite because Hannah is asleep, i just sung her to sleep humming a rock a bye!

Dear Santa

Emily just found a piece of lined paper and decided to write a note to Santa on it, of course its all just wiggly lines but she was telling me what she was writing as she went along;

Dear santa, i would like some welly boots with dora the explorer on for being a good girl on saturday camping and a beautifull dress, and id like to come and visit your house but japanese is not my thing, but i would like a candle for my mums birthday and i would love a sun top for when the sun comes out tomorrow for me and mum and hannah and my barbies and a big girl watch for mummy that isnt broken with the skin coming off, and a cookie for me and a cookie for Hannah and a cookie for my barbies, i would love you for my guest but i would most love you, i would like a new potty with butterflies and fairies on and i would like something to go on neddys hair, i would most like it with boys on it but most with girls

oh and a new necklace for mummy with princesses on it!

Family Fair in the park

Well it was a grey day and forecast to rain but me and the girls were bored and Nanna was away helping out in the sandwich shop so we decided to just go for it and investigate the fair we saw advertised in the park, we got a bit soggy but im glad we braved it, the kids rides were only £1 a go and Emily is getting really brave with rides now after our our holiday last week at Haven.

She even went on the bungee trampolines!

Happy and Healthy

I cant believe the improvement in Hannah since she had her operation, sometimes i look back at her earlier pictures and i cant believe i didnt see how ill she was, its funny to see her now with some chub on her bones, lovely to see and such a relief!

19th-23rd Haven Holiday!

We enjoyed our Haven holiday so much last year but it wasnt the same without taking nan and Grandad so this year we all booked a static caravan together for the week.
Emily had been SO looking forward to it for weeks since it was booked and was a great help when we packed the car, she loves helping.

When we arived we were too early for book in so we had a wander round the clubhouse and Emily dragged me her Dad and Grandad on the crazy golf which was one of her "things to do" on her mental list she had been preparing for weeks hehe



As we were killing time we also let her have a go on the trampolines, even though she does spend half her life on the one at home.



When we finally got booked in we went to hunt down our caravan and to Emilys delight we had lots of little girl neighbours who all decided to hang out outside our caravan all week, there was a little girl called Amber (5) right next door, another called Kayleigh (4) just opposite and another little girl called Leigh (3) in the van next door, they were all lovely little girls so perfect playmates and we kept bumping into Amber and her family in the clubhouse on the evenings so Emily had someone to boogy with which was great!




On Emilys "list of things to do" was to go on a rowing boat, so we took her to Peasholm Park and Nan and Grandad kindly babysat Hannah while me Emily and Daddy went on one, it was great fun and Emily really enjoyed sitting on her Dad's knee and helping him to row!

On one of the days we decided to head to Skirlington Market then on to Bridlington
afterwards but nan & Grandads car broke down half way there! Lucky for us the AA man brought us all to a near by pub which happened to have a play area in the garden! Emily even cried when the car was fixed and it was time to go hehe

When we finally got to Bridlington i bought a heap load of tokens from the wrong desk so we had to use them up in one small area but luckily Emily decided to be allot braver than she has ever been before and went on a kiddies big wheel, the dodgems with me and her dad, and the teacups

Hannah was good as gold all week even though her feeding pattern was a mess and she had allot of late nights.

She loved taking in all the sights and watching her big sister on the rides and dancing about like a lunatic at the clubhouse, infact Hannah doesnt really care where she is or what she is doing so long as she can see her favorite person in the world... Emily!

Hannah loves food, even if i have just fed her if i sit down with something to eat she watches me swallow every bite like a starved child so while we were on holiday i gave in and let her try some doughnut which she really enjoyed and she also had a nic-nac in the clubhouse, she managed to eat them both without too much trouble or teeth!

The last day of our holiday was by far the best, the weather was beautiful and we headed down to Scarborough seafront to play on the sand, i had hoped to take Emily rock-pooling which was also on her list of things to do but all the rockpools on Scarborough seafront and spa seem to have been buried with sand! So instead we all mucked in and built two mega sand castles and Emily later went paddling in the sea with her dad and went on a donkey called Roony who was so bad tempered he bit the owner!

We had a fantastic time and Emily fell asleep in the car on the way home, when she woke up at home she was mortified, she wanted to be back on holiday again!

Sharing

Well this is it, the first night Emily and Hannah have shared a bedroom, Emily as always was good as gold, especially considering i put them both up at the same time and both awake, she didnt make a peep, just snuggled down hummed to herself for a bit and went straight to sleep. Hannah soon got bored of the fact her antics were not getting her big sisters attention and fell asleep shortly after hehe

I love my girls so much!
