Last week was half term. We had some amazing weather, which we  thoroughly enjoyed! The sun was shining and it was quite hot, I'm not a huge fan of really hot weather so finding some shade seemed like a good idea to me! We went for a lovely picnic to a fairly local park with plenty of shade but also lots of sunshine, too! The kids enjoyed playing in the sun (they were smothered in sun screen) whilst I sat in the sun and watched!


We packed egg and ham sandwiches, mini sausages, scotch eggs sausage rolls, cakes, cookies and some fruit etc! We spent a couple of hours at the park eating and playing and just chatting, enjoying the weather before walking along the river to get a well needed ice cream!
(My memory card has literally just broke on me, and I can't retrieve the photos NOOOOO!!! - along with many others - so I'll have to just post the photos I took on my phone. I'm trying to figure it out. WHY didn't I back them up straight away?!)








We're hoping to get out for an after school picnic sometime this week, we'll see how the weather goes though! Not long until the summer holidays, who's excited?! We are!!

How have you been enjoying the weather lately?

It's finally half term, a very welcome break from the school routine. Ellie was lucky and had a non pupil day. The boys were a little bit disappointed because they didn't have a non pupil day (They had there non pupil day last term when Ellie didn't). We decided to make the most of the weather because here in the U.K we're never sure how long the warm, sunny weather will last! So we went for a lovely walk down the lane and a long the river. We ate our lunch a long the river and I treated Ellie to a 'Monster Chocolate Cookie' which she thoroughly enjoyed.


We saw all kinds of wildlife, cows, squirrels, chickens and horses, swans and ducks. (I didn't manage to snap pics of all the animals we spotted).








I'm not a huge fan of very hot weather but there was a lovely breeze and plenty of shade along the river, which was more than welcome!


We had a fantastic time! This week coming up, we'll be sure to have lots of fun in the sun (hopefully there will be some sun!) with the boys,  too!
Have you been enjoying the weather?

The other day, the boys had a dentist appointment in town - Impressions/molds, xrays and photos of there teeth ready for braces in a couple of months. They did SO well. Whilst we were in town, we decided to visit castle park, which is a huge Roman castle with a massive play area which has recently just been re-done and it's 'EPIC' (Charlie's words!)
 Castle park is always beautiful but during the Spring time, the flowers are all in bloom and they're so pretty! They also smell AMAZING! (So glad I took a hayfever tablet before we left)

It's finally Spring and we have been making the most of the beautiful weather we have been blessed with the last few days. We decided to go for a lovely walk and to the park after school one evening. The weather was mild and sunny, perfect for a trip to the park.




We got to the park and the boys noticed there friends were all playing football and scooting on the skate ramp with there scooters! So no photos of the boys unfortunately, I didn't want embarrass them infront of there pals.  The boys are 11 and 13 but I still stayed within a distance I could still keep my eye on them! Ellie and I had a little walk around the edge of the field (and I got a quick jog in because I am determind to loose more weight!) and played frisbee whilst the boys had a kick about with there friends.



We finished up on the play park, Ellie loves the swings, she could seriously spend hours on the swings, bless her. There were quite a few people at the park which was lovely to see so many people out enjoying the gorgeous weather.

The kids break up for Easter this week and we're hoping to have more sunny days so we can get outside more!
We hope you've been able to enjoy the lovely weather, too!

It's finally half term and it's more than welcome in our house! Having a break from the school routine does everyone the world of good! While the weather was nice we decided to take a trip to the park, it was a gorgeous day, the sun was shinning and it was 7 degrees which is quite shocking considering the day before it was snowing! Having a crisp sunny day reminded us of spring... Which isn't very far away at all and we can not wait.




Charlie took his scooter to the park as there is a ramp there which scooters can be used on! Harry took his bike and Ellie decided she was going to walk with me. The boys also took a football, too! They love playing football and while the weather was nice, they decided to make the most of it.
We had a go on the play area, by 'we' I mean the kids... Although I may or may not have had a go on the swings (Such a good leg workout, haha). We also had a walk around the edge of the woods and the kids had a go on some of the fitness trail equipment, I decided to give that a miss though, haha. And of course, the boys had a good kick around with the football, hehe.
It was quite mild in the sunshine, Harry even got too hot wearing his jacket whilst running around! Spring isn't very far away.. YAY!








We had a really lovely time at the park before heading home for lunch! We are hoping to make another trip to the park and perhaps venture in the woods this week! We hope you're enjoying half term so far, too!

Over the Christmas period, we managed to get outside an enjoy the mild weather! It was so mild and sunny, it seemed like a shame to stay inside.
We decided to go to the park and  take out Charlies little drone, helicopter toy that he got for Christmas. It's a small light weight toy and he just loves it!


It was great fun watching it fly over our heads. It doesn't go up very high but it's perfect for Charlie! Ellie had fun chasing it and trying to catch it as it fell from the sky (It would loose signal and flop down, which the kids thought was great fun, haha)


Ellie was all "How do you steer this thing" When it was her turn. Charlie taught her how to use the controls, which was lovely to watch.



We were only out for about an hour before it started getting chilly. We had a wonderful time though and the kids had fun running around burning off some of there energy! We can't wait for the weather to get better so we can go for a proper long walk through the woods and plays at the park!

As most of you already know, we love this time of year and we enjoy making the most of the nice weather before winter hits. The other day after school, we decided to for another Autumnal walk and trip to the play park, which my children always enjoy.


We had a long walk around the big field on the outskirts of the woods. The kids found a huge old tree to climb! They're always fascinated by old tree's because they're so old. This particular tree has been struck by lightening in the past and has actually split in half but it's still living!




The kids had a good climb of the tree and then we headed off for a game of footy. Well, rather, the boys did. Ellie played in the park and I stood and watched the boys play football while Ellie played on the swings!






We had a really lovely afternoon. The weather stayed beautiful and bright! The kids burned off so much energy! We are hoping it'll be nice this weekend so we can go out again :)
