Happy Birthday to me!!!!!!

Not going to say how old but it's the wrong side of 40. I don't care as I still feel the same as when I was 19 and have absolutely no plans to grow up.

I am extremely proud of Toby at the moment. We went with some of his pals to an indoor play area yesterday. (the only one I've come across which is clean, not too busy & serves healthy food). Anyway this other Mum went out of her way to find me to say how lovely and polite Toby was. He got stuck in the ball pool and asked her "can you help me out please" then said "thank you for helping me". Not bad for 2yrs old - well done Toby :0)

I've just dropped Toby off at pre school, Sam off at Big school and gone for a lovely long walk in the rain around the country lanes around Hambledon - lovely!

Heading for trouble...

It's going to be my birthday on Thursday and Sam insists I have a cake. The plan is to leave out all the ingredients and Sam (4) and Toby (2) are going to teach their Daddy to make a cake - should be fun.

Exploring...

We've had a lovely weekend. The boys have been angels. We went on the Watercress Line steam train for a lovely trip in the pouring rain. The boys thought it was a wonderful adventure and were convinced it was the Polar Express.

My lovely neighbour Jen babysat last night while Billy & I escaped to our local (The Vine), for a few glasses of red.

This morning we all went for a long walk at Pagham Harbour. Very impressed with Toby lasting for 3 miles+ at the age of 2 with no complaints.We stopped at a lovely pub for a coffee at Sidlesham Quay. The boys managed to get extremely muddy jumping in all the puddles - quite right!

Now back home with a roast in the oven ready to snuggle by the fire with a good film for the rest of the day.....

Pre-school...no more babies in this house :-(

Toby has had his second day at preschool and again didn't look back. He had a brilliant time and I'm sure if I let him he'd go every day.

Enough...

OK the snow was great fun to start with and is stunning to look at but GO AWAY NOW! Schools still closed, can't get the car out & I haven't been able to go running for nearly a week...oh and we're rapidly running out of logs.

Not so little boys.

Toby had his first day at pre-school today and loved it. He's only 2.5 but he's been stamping his feet for months saying he wants to go to school like his big brother. We're now back at home snuggled up from the frost with the log burner roaring...watching polar express......again....

We've all had a wonderful Christmas. The boys loved their new bikes and insisted on getting numb fingers trying them out Christmas morning. We had friends over for dinner and laughed all day. On Boxing Day we went up North to visit family.
