Chinese New Year

This last week or so we went up to Nottingham and it just happened to be Chinese New Year. Nana kindly booked us all on a craft afternoon at the park and it was awesome. 

Albert and Rowan made glittery dragons,

Crazy cool glow stick hobby horses and all sorts of crowns and capes. Albert also tried the big horse head on for the parade.

Then we had the best Chinese take away in the uk - awesome!!

We also paid a visit to Jill and Rob's pretty finished new house and got stuck into the muddy puddles. We also came away with 6 eggs from their lovely hens.

On another note Albert won the football club trophy last week - he was unbelievably chuffed, and so was I. Concentration and fewer bear hugs - that's what wins trophies!!

Festive fun

We have gone festive crazy this month, we had our tree up on the 1st mostly because we had to get advent calendars down from the attic too.
We have our Christmas jumpers and Albert and Rowan have gone light and paper chain mad throughout the house.
We have had Albert's nativity and he was an angel all covered in tinsel and he rocked his songs. - three kings riding through the dusty dessert they have travelled far!
We have a massive turkey waiting and a 100 Brussels on order at the green grocers, a week of school parties to come and we are almost there!!!

First football lesson!

Well at least he will grow into it!

Science week!

It's science week at school so for children in need they have to dress as a scientist.
It is obviously in the genes.

School quotes.

"The school toilets are cooler then our toilets at home, they are black all over."

"The lady says we have to eat sandwiches or rolls first, in fact I should probably have rolls tomorrow. Most people have rolls"

"That was not a roll it was not swirly enough"

"I forgot to ask anyone their name but some girl told me hers anyway - even though I didn't ask"

"Do you want to see me do a star jump"

Also PE related they have to pretend to be a whole range of beans from beans on toast to chilly runner beans! Crazy!

" give it, give it" apparently when people aren't sharing.

Finally " Is Miss. Peck nice?" " She's nice, she isn't a zombie or anything" ????

First day at school!

Oh my where did the time go. Albert started school today, which is crazy!
He loves having a uniform and his new school shoes, he is very excited about having a PE kit and a packed lunch. It is all very grown up, and I coped way worse at the drop of this morning - he rocked it!
Proud mummy.

Summer

Unbelievably Albert starts school next week, which will be way more traumatic for me then him I'm sure. Hopefully he will love it and will make friends quickly. I'm mostly sad someone else will get to have fun hanging out with him as he is totally awesome and I want to!
We had a visit today his peg has an alligator on it - he is over the moon.
We have had a busy and fantastic summer this year it's been hot almost every day and we have done loads.
I thought I would put a few pictures up and make sure I enjoy the last two days before everything changes.
