November already!

I had one of my wisdom teeth out a couple of weeks ago and Adam had a week off work so we went up to Nottingham for a very long weekend so I could moan to lots of people it was lovely.

This is at attenborough nature reserve the weather was really warm for this time of year once the sun came out it's being a strange winter.
Rowan has also been loving puppets he likes badger and hedgehog of nanas and vulture at home.

Rowan had his first party invite this weekend, Ellen was 1 and had a boogie mites party it had all the party essentials.

Pom poms.

Look at the serious faces, colour choice is not easy!

Comedy party hats and terrified baby.

Bubbles, the class a drug of the baby/ toddler world I have never met a child who won't go insane when you get the bubble machine out, and also check put how cute this is.

Swings.

We have been swinging alot the last week, Albert has always loved the swings and we can go to the park and that's all we do. Rowan loves it too, so next time they are being little monsters I'm just going to bring them to the park and strap them both in.

Recently Albert has been coming out with some brilliant comments and Adam thinks we should be writing them down so we don't forget,
On bread making: we hit it daddy, with our hands not a hammer.

Also we have a chicken doormat and every so often I will find him sat on it, when I ask he what is wrong: I got pushed down, it was the brown chicken.
It's always the brown chicken - he is obviously the meanest door mat chicken in the land.
Albert: what's that noise?
Daddy: what noise
Albert: blllll, it's me.

Also one of the most frustrating,
A: what you doing?
Me: driving.
A: what you doing?
M: driving.
A: what you doing?
M: what do you think I'm doing?
A: driving.
M: what are you doing?
A: watching you drive, What you doing?
I generally turn the radio up about now :)

We also all love our dens at the moment!

Unfortunately two boys means they will be forced to wear semi matching if not matching clothes occasionally as much as i thought I wouldn't do it, I feel matching children's clothing is hidden deep within the female genome and therefore they had better watch out, they got of lightly this time!

Paint.

This Halloween I made Albert and Rowan a Gruffalo and a Mouse costume which I thought were pretty good, Albert refused to wear his at all even though I had unstitched it and remade it pretty much the night before his party. Oh well, this is the hat a few days before - next year maybe we won't bother.

Rowan liked his outfit a bit more though.
I will upload a photo of the mouse later!
We took Albert and Rowan crabbing for the first time, Albert enjoyed it but wasn't too sure about all the crabs.

But the most fun of the week was painting at Ed and Ellen's, thank you Phil for letting them go crazy.

looks fairly civilised,

Still not too bad,

Oh,

Pumpkins!!
