Car booting

We got up very early yesterday and did a carboot with some of the boys old clothes and toys, we made over £100 which shocked us!  We would have been happy with half of that!

What surprised me was the amount of people queuing to get into the carboot to buy, not sell, buy, at 6am, i'm sure i wouldn't be up that early unless i had to!

Been to Nursery

The terrible twosome went to nursery for the first time ever today, meaning it was also the first time ever they have been left in the care of someone other than parents/grandparents.  Did they miss me, did they fret when i left them, did they pine at the door? Hell no! As i left the room the eldest was dragging the pretty blond (funny that) nursery assistant to the bookshelf whilst the youngest was climbing around and exploring his new surroundings.  Did i fret, did i pine at the door? Of course!

I was only 2 rooms away from them on a first aid course which meant i could pop along and look through the window/hear their screams etc, but they were fine, loved it in fact!  The nursery staff even said how good they were considering they haven't been abandoned/left before, proud mummy moment :)

Paignton in the rain

We took the boys to Paignton yesterday with Rich's mum and dad, of course it rained, doesn't it always in Paignton?!

They have really updated the big green field area by the pier, it is full of swings and climbing frames now so we will have to go again when the boys are a bit bigger.  The youngest has been a bit poorly with his teeth again the last few days bless him, he really suffers but only a few left to go now so worst is over for him.

Our Holiday

This year we took the boys to a caravan in Brean, we went when the eldest was a baby but this was the first time as a family of 4.  The boys loved the caravan, they even slept better!

We went out somewhere each day to various animal parks and soft play centres,  we also took them swimming which the youngest loved, he is a true waterbaby.  Biggest boy was better than last time we took him swimming, he really doesn't like it but he is getting better now he sees his little brother enjoying it so much.  They also went to the fair a couple of times where the youngest had his first real experiences of going on the big boy rides, we could hear him laughing over the sound of the fairground!
