An afternoon at the park


It's been a week now since we moved and we are still waiting for
the kids to get a new school. What a nightmare, never thought it would be such a
long process for them to change schools.
To keep them entertained we took them to the country park for an afternoon.
First stop was the playground of course.
They did a bit of climbing, a bit of swinging and some sliding.
Needless to say they absolutely love it there.


When they were all played out we went for a walk around the lake.
The lake is just beautiful and alongside it runs a small river with
lots of bridges and waterfalls.
 My kids can't get over a bridge without playing pooh sticks.
 You ever played this?
You each drop a stick one side of the bridge and whoevers stick
is first on the other side is the winner.
Great game.

First task was to find a suitable stick of course.


Notice how Emily's stick resembles a log next to mine and Dylan's stick!
I'm guessing she was hoping to win.


No such luck for Emily though, Dylan was the clear winner this time.
We were hoping to see some ducklings but I'm guessing the were all
hiding with their mommy ducks.
All the daddy ducks were showing off and begging for bread.
Do ducks beg, is there even such a thing?


When we came to a throne cut out of a log the kids thought
they were in Narnia. Surely this was made for their kings and queens.


Such royalty!

Further along the way was another little stream where Emily
wanted to look for some precious rocks.
She just loves collecting them, every time we go for a walk she collects
about a pocket full of them.


Rocks found, mission accomplished.
By then it had started to rain which made the forest smell so nice.
I love nature scents like that.
So off home we went.
We had a brilliant afternoon.


Go and have yourself a brilliant afternoon as well

Adjusting.

Jeans, top, cardigan, necklace: Next

Yesterday was one of those days were the weather surprises you.
You know, misty in the mornings, dewdrops on the grass and
then the sun breaks through along with spring.
How lovely it was to walk out without having to wear a coat,
to be able to wear flats and not have cold feet and to feel the
sun on my face.


So you can imagine my disappointment when I opened
the curtains this morning and was greeted by a cold, dull grey day.
The coral spring outfit I had planned to wear was
put back in the wardrobe and out came
my black jeans and boots.
Sometimes you just have to adjust.



Have a great Wednesday my friends!

Let's ditch the belt and read some childrens books!

cardigan: Next. Top: Monsoon. Jeans: Next. Shoes: New look

I'm so glad I took a photo of this outfit.
It looked really good in the mirror...not so good now.
Belt is way too brown to go with the blue's of the cardigan
and top (and yes, the cardi is dark blue, not black).
Think I might ditch the belt for the rest of the day.

Anyway.

Today my little one is not feeling too well so I've kept her
home from school.
At the moment she's upstairs, I did ask her if she wanted to come down
and lay and the sofa but she didn't want to, this means she's really not well.
I think I might go up and read her some of her favourite stories.
These days she loves
the gruffalo
If you've got kids and haven't got this book I would so
recommend you get it. It's a brilliant and very clever story.

Another book, or series of books, she's really into is
Charlie and Lola
These books are just adorable. Even I love each and
every story there is. We've also got the TV series
and again I would definitely recommend!
(both books and cartoons)

Speaking about books I love.
I have been giving my husband hints about getting me
the hunger games
for mothers day (18th march here in England).
Let's hope my hints work.
I've heard the movie is being released soon and I would
love to read the books first.
I've been hearing so many good things about this trilogy.


If you have a spare minute can I ask you to check the lovely
Cori's blog
She has an important message, well worthy of sharing.


Wishing you all a happy Wednesday!

Motherhood

Top:Next. Jeans: Dorothy Perkins. Boots: Next. Bracelet: gift

This morning I went into town with a friend and
we sat down to have a coffee.
My eye fell on a mum and her toddler.
The little girl was hanging onto mums coat and crying,
begging her mommy to pick her up.
Mom was too busy texting a message on her phone and I
overheard her say "Just leave me alone and walk, you've got two legs!"
I felt so sorry for the little one.
All she wanted was her mommy.

It got me thinking...a few years from now that little
girl will be all grown up and not want picking up or cuddles
anymore.
Mom might want one then.
I wonder how many more special moments she has missed.

It just made me want to go up to school and give my
two a great big hug.
Kids grow up so fast. We should cherish each and every moment
and hug, cuddle and pick them up for as long as they let us.

Forever I hope.
