Working..

Every so often the boys come into work with me, much fun is had investigating all the great things that can be found in a chandlery, especially the boats!! Sorry Nanny & Grandad, this one maybe slightly shop soiled now..

Puddle Jumping!

The real benefit of living along an unmade road is the sheer joy of muddy puddle jumping! The boys had a riot jumping in and out of all the puddles and Wills´wellies ended up completely full of murky water, this was swiftly followed by a lovely warm bath. Who would of thought that this time last week, they were in their paddling pool...

Fun in the sun!

Such a lovely summers day gave us a great excuse to get out the paddling pool much to Wills´joy! Wills had a fabulous time splashing around in the water whilst Aidy deemed it far to cold and refused to get in, he opted for spending all afternoon throwing balls into the pool and laughing his head off at the great splashes they caused!

We´re all going on a......

Summer Holiday! Yippee!!
Owing to some amazing generosity, we are actually going to get a holiday this summer -- we were so keen to get away out of the school holidays before Wills starts big school!
So on the 4th July we shall be spending the week in Great Yarmouth, staying at the Hoseasons park.. There looks like there will be stacks for the boys to do!

Sprinkler Fun!

What else is a mother to do when her 4 year old begs and pleads to go and play in the sprinkler fully clothed!?

A rough night for Wills

Poor Wills was in great pain in the night -- every time he fell asleep, his arm would move causing him to cry out. Tonight we are going to pad him in a bit more, to try and stop his arm from moving so much. He´s a lot brighter this afternoon but obviously shattered from such a restless night.
We were advised that he take his arm out of his sling every hour to keep it moving, he´s being very brave but it causes him great discomfort. Here´s hoping for a more comfortable night tonight.

A bitter sweet day

The boys were very excited to be going off to nursery today, Wills particularly so as it was warm enough for shorts.
However, I received a phone call at 11.30 from nursery to say that Wills had taken a tumble in the soft play area. He had landed rather nastily on his elbow -- he was in alot of pain and after a trip to the GP we were off to A&E. After a long wait, we were taken through for an x-ray, he found this very painful and they were unable to get a clear picture but they were able to deduce that it wasn´t broken. They fitted him with a "collar and cuff" -- back home he was more comfortable but the nurse advised that he move his arm regularly which is causing great discomfort. He has gone off to bed tonight and hopefully won´t be in too much pain during the night. No running around or climbing for little fella this week, which also means no football school or swimming.
