I'm only two weeks late!

I cannot believe I haven't written anything in TWO weeks! Time just seems to fly by. One minute it was Christmas, the next it will be Easter. Everything in between is a blur. Seriously, am I the only one who seems to be caught in a time warp!? So, two weeks... A lot has happened.  Mothers day for instance, and yet I have not found the time to document this.

We had a great day of course, a great weekend even. Simon had to work which was a bit of a letdown, but it didn't stop me and the kids having a fun time. On Saturday I took them on the bus to Canterbury. My main goal was to visit the Cath Kidston store but somehow we ended up in Build A Bear! You should have seen the look on my kids faces, both their eyes lit up when they saw the cute big bears, big little ponies, Easter bunnies and don't even get me started on all the outfits.   I wasn't going to buy them one of course, but somehow, when we walked back out, both my kids were holding a new bear. In my defence, I did manage to talk them down to a tiny bear instead of a big one. A purple chick and a monkey to be more precise.
On to Cath Kidston. Emily and I were delighted to look at everything and I had to tell her more than once to not touch that cute mug or open the moisturisers to sniff them.    Dylan on the other hand wasn't too bothered, cute florals and girly things don't really do it for him! I choose my mothers day present (the reason we went in the first place) which was a new wallet, and treated myself to a new mug as well. Mission accomplished. Sunday I was woken up early and Emily (with help from dad) brought up a cup of coffee, jumped on the bed and gave me her cards. She was so proud to show me the card she'd made in school. It was too cute!

Dylan had a bit of a sleep in and stumbled down half an hour later wishing me happy birthday! Hahaha, he was still half asleep and obviously a bit confused. The cards he'd made me in school and scouts were very sweet. I'm so lucky to have such sweet kiddies. I do love them more than they'll ever know.
