Walks in the Sun (when it was out)

I love getting out when  it is sunny, I kind of feel cheated if I am stuck indoors. I stand by the window and pine to get outside, but sadly the kids were all ill so when they felt a little better we went for little walks around where we live. We live close to the sea but it was very chilly and the tide was in so we just stuck to the prom. 

 We showed Ami a dandelion and she tried to blow it, but managed to get the dandelion all over her face. Was very funny she didn't mind, it took us ages to get anywhere due to her wanting to touch every one we went past.

We stopped for a little picnic which was lovely Ami didnt wander far so was nice to be chilled out and then enjoy throwing all that was left for the seaguls. Pants then hid in the bushes to jump out on the seaguls, but they outsmarted him and didnt come down. He gave up and walked away and they swooped down on the food.

We finished our little walk by picking some daisys, and playing football (of course). When you have been stuck indoors getting outside is so nice. I loved that it was warm and feeling the sun on my skin. The kids enjoyed them selves beats playing minecraft anyday.

I look forward to lots more adventures although the sad thing we always go to a little cave round here but some people had been there and smashed lots of bottles which meant we couldnt play there. Thinking of making a sign and sticking it up, but that might be a bit sad. One time me and my son went round picking the unsmashed bottles left there and took them to the bottle bank because I was sick of all the glass.

A good afternoon all in all. 

Little Bear you are 5 months

My little baby you are growing up so fast

5 months has just flown by 

although it seems like you have always been here 

I still wish the time would slow down and I can keep you small 

You are learning new things every day 

you started to take a dummy this month

and now like to sit up most of the time

you hate to be lying down like to be able to see 

you love to watch Ami especially see what she is up to

you hold things well and reach out for things 

especially things your sister has 

you went on the swings which you liked

you also went swimming for the first time 

you enjoyed splashing around and being splashed

You love attention and will cry until held

but we dont mind its nice that you love cuddles

you still are all over the place with sleep 

some nights are good and some nights

 we pace around trying to get you back to sleep

You sit well and you are mastering the art of balancing well

you had first tastes of food but sometimes unsure of it

you also have had some bottles you come and go weather you like them or not

you also went on your first holiday been a busy month

So another month older 

We love you lots little Bear

Siblings - April

I tried my hardest to take a nice photo of the three of them together whilst away but I never got round to it, Pants wanted to play football and just the business of being on team got in the way. I they are all so special and all so different. I even stuck sometimes with Little bear even though he is my third he is so different to the other two its lovely. Ami loves to follow Pants often thinking she is 7 and Little Bear loves to watch and copy his bigger sister. This month he now laughs at her shouting rather than crying were getting there its taken nearly 5 months for him to get used to noisy siblings!

I had a 2 second time frame before Ami ran away 

my monkeys 

So here is this Months photos, I will try harder and use the proper camera one month I am sure!

All is fixed by a day on the beach

Sometimes days can be long especially when you have been stuck indoors on your own with the children. If its raining and horrible sometimes the last place you want to be is outside. I often find if we opt for a pajama day I am itching to get out and this week with my husband being away I was feeling a little down so we decided to go for a walk. Our walk took us to our usual route along to the batcave but we couldn't play there the local youth seem to enjoy it there too and smash loads of bottles, Ami had here own ideas and escaped down the hill towards the beach. So of we went for a play on the sand, me and Pants played building competitions and Ami chased dogs, Little bear enjoyed a nap it was good fun.

We are so so blessed to live in such a beautiful place I love the beach. I love to go down there alot that even my son says not again. Even today we walked past the sea and Ami was so upset that she wasn't aloud out the pushchair to go on the beach. Its nice to be able to go down there when ever, its free and alot of fun.

I write about the beach alot its home to me, as a teenager my friends called me stig of the beach. I love that the nights are getting lighter I long for evenings down the beach, nothing but some spades and a ball and hours of fresh air joy. Roll on warm evenings!

Easter Crafts with the kids

We love Easter in our house, time to reflect and be thankful. I love craft and my daughter is the same, it has taken 7 years and finally my son sat down and made something on his own accord. We borrowed the leftovers from our toddler group for something to do whilst my husband is away. We made two things Easter cards and Easter baskets ready for out annual hunt! 

 Ami loved gluing and sticking all the cute little pieces on the card. She was really concentrating on what she was doing and sat there for a good half an hour making her card. She also enjoyed taking the pieces of too

  then putting them back on again.

The Easter baskets were already made so all Pants had to do was decorate it. He chose to put tissue paper in and some little eggs. I let him do what he wanted and the end result was lovely he was distracted by the tv as tangled was on and even though to him its a girl film he really wanted to watch it!

 So there we are some little Easter crafts we have many more to do so watch this space! I do love sitting with them to do craft I often find my time is spent looking after the baby it can be hard to spend quality time with them. We still have the rest of the holidays so when we get back from spring harvest I will let pants choose the next craft.
