May - We get some glorious weather at last !

With the start of May, we got some great weather. The boys had lots of fun in the garden, playing and having picnics:



Whilst Daddy did some eBaying, hence the baby seats visible in the background. I was taking photos of their old stuff and we had a good sale on eBay. We made a decent amount as well.

My Mum came down and stayed for a while, the boys loved that and had a great time with her. We went to visit my cousin Stephen and his family in Lindhurst, it was a lovely day.

Stephen's wife Alison did us proud and we all sat in their garden having a lovely afternoon long lunch, like the French do, just sat around taking, eating and drinking. I really relaxing day. Simply fab :)

My Cousin Stephen and my Uncle Bill.



Grammy wanted to take the boys to the Zoo. The boys were very excited about that, so off we all went down to Marwell Zoo

Penguins !



Mummy, Harry & Ben



Some little monkeys



Two more little monkeys and a brass Hippo :)



An Ant Eater



Gorgeous little Ben



Handsome little Harry



Harry does look tired in that last photo bless him. It was a good day out, the boys got a little bothersome, kept going on about riding on the little train around the Zoo, which we eventually did do once they had settled down and were good little boys again :) In fact the pictures above were taken on the train.

So that was May, next onto June !

Hopefully I will get this done soon. :)

Illness stops play

Slight delay in updating our blog, due to an outbreak of Chicken Pox. Once Harry & Ben are back at school. I will have time to continue with my 'catch up - updates'

April Fool

April Fool !
Well not really a fool, but lets face it, you've got to be a bit daft falling asleep like this !!!!



How on Earth Harry managed to fall asleep half standing up I have no idea.

April 6th
Claire and the girls came to stay and we all had a lovely time. Claire had been working herself very hard with work and really needed a rest. I am very glad that she came and Claire really seemed to have a good time and recharge her batteries. The boys adore her and the girls.





Now the Boys had been very good and completed their sticker reward charts. The end result being (drum roll).................Bicycles !

We went to Salisbury and got them both a Go Diego Go! bike each. (Thank goodness they were on special offer!).

Ben was adamant that he wanted a pink bike, but I just could bring myself to buy him a Barbie Princess Bike that was double the cost of the Diego bike. We compromised and Ben was very happy with his pink bicycle helmet and pink bell for his handle bars.

Harry got a bit fed up with his Go Diego Go! handle bar panel, so we took his off. Which made it easy for the boys to know which bike which. Saved on the arguments :)
