Sunday – I spent all morning baking and assembing a fairy princess castle cake to take to a birthday party this afternoon. The party was a princess and pirates one so Daddy and I managed to make a couple of pirate costumes for both boys, who thought they were great fun! They both had a brilliant time at the party and the cake went down well too.
Monday– at playgroup this morning Jenson did some more painting which he really enjoys, and today’s ‘masterpiece’ is a painting of a trampoline!
Tuesday – Granma and Gran popped over this morning which Jenson enjoyed. This afternoon he and I played with the play dough. When I collected Burton I was delighted (as was he) to discover that he has been awarded a certificate for his hard worj with phonics. Apparently he was awarded it last Friday, but of course he was off school which is why he didnt get it until today.
Wednesday – After taking Burton to school Jenson and I went for a little walk so he could go jumping in puddles which was great fun and as soon as we got home we had to change his trousers as they were soaking wet!
Thursday – a friend popped over this morning so I was up early baking some cakes for her visit before the school run. After she left Jenson and I popped to Sainsburys as they have a 1/2 price toy sale on so I managed to get a few Christmas presents! It was dry after school so we ambled our way back to the car and Burton and a few of his friends like to climb this tree which is in the school entrance area. Here is Burton hanging off the branch like a monkey.
Friday – more puddle splashing for Jenson as we went for another walk this morning as it was quite a nice day. Afterwards we went food shopping. This afternoon at 2pm Burton’s school held an open afternoon where parents can pop in and see what their children have benen getting up to. I enjoyed seeing Burton’s ‘journey book’ and learning about what he has achieved in his first 6 weeks and it is reassuring to know that he does actually do stuff, as he is not good at remembering when he gets home from school! I am pleased at how well he is doing. Afterwards, both boys went to Granma and Grampy’s for a sleepover .
Saturday – a lie in until 7.45am yaaaay!! Lol. Then it was a rush to get over to Granma’s to collect the boys and get to the swimming pool for 9am for swimming. When we got home the boys and I did some drawing and cutting. Then I took them to the shop to buy some crafty stuff as next weeks weather forecast is not looking favourable which is typical with it being half term , after all the lovely weather we have had for the last few weeks! This afternoon I managed to persuade Daddy to come on a walk to the park with the boys which we enjoyed despite the blustery weather. The boys enjoyed this ride and wanted to go round and round, faster and faster and were both giggling a lot. When they dismounted, Jenson was unable to stand up due to being dizzy! Silly boys.
Love the pirate costumes & that cake looked amazing. Look at all that water, we haven’t had much rain yet & no puddle jumping either (although raining now so maybe tomorrow) xx
I am so so loving the pirates!! its a fantastic picture xx
Another great week of photos and lots of outdoor fun. I bet there were some soggy wellies too!
You can neve have too many sploshing photos (or splosh in the puddles to begin with, as it happens). Great series of pics
A great week. I feel so proud of Burton for getting his certificate – well done.
Love your black and white pirates shot this week Jenny. Some great shots of Jenson getting out to play despite all the rain too. Well done Burton on his certificate.
well done on the certificate, they are always so chuffed arent they! my fav pic is the bottom one on the red spinning thing! Sorry not sure of the right name!! lol. x
well done on the certificate Burton, a great boost to the school career. Love the puddle jumping complete with splashes, no wonder he was wet, but thats what puddles are for. I dont do roundabouts, I get dizzy just watching them.
Nothing can beat getting soaked in a puddle splash ( as long as it is intentional)!
Clever Burton! They can never remember what they did at school. Still the same in year 4!
Well done B, love the pirates and you can’t beat some muddy puddles. Love it x
Well done Burton!! Lots of lovely photos this week. The pirate costumes are fab!
I love the pirate picture, they both looks so good. It sounds like you and Jenson keep busy even now it is just the two of you and how lovely it must be to go into Burton’s school and see how he is getting on x
Looks like a great week, Mich x
They had some good bargains in the Sainsbury toy sale. I got a balance bike and JCB trucks for Ashley!
I think all children love puddles but it’s us that have to get them dry!!
I can imagine the boys shouting ‘faster, faster’ on that roundabout!
Another busy week! Well done Burton on the award 🙂
Very very well done Burton. I hope he’s settled in well at school.
They look fabulous as pirates!!
And well done on the certificate! Really does make you feel proud doesn’t it.
Jenson looks like he’s having so much fun with the puddles!
I love the pirate outfits and it looks like they had fun in the puddles!
I love that first photo, it is gorgeous and Burton looks so chuffed with his certificate! It looks like he is settling well into school?
I love that the boys have been out splashing in wellies so much, I have been rubbish this week with The Boy and need to get out more! I love Jenson’s painting too.
