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!

This past weekend, we were blessed with some lovely spring weather. It was so mild and the sun was shining! It was such a pretty day, we didn't want to waste it sat inside so we decided we'd have a little walk to our local park. (I may have had to persuade the teenager with a treat! He was all "Why though? I wanna play FIFA".. you know, typical teenager and all). Charlie was out with his dad for the day (Harry didn't want to go there either), so it was just Ellie, Harry and myself!


The kids wanted to ride there bikes, so that's just what they did. When we arrive at the park, it was empty! Which was shocking because it was such a beautiful day, I thought it would be packed. I was wrong. So the kids had the whole play area to themselves!

Ellie and Harry enjoyed playing on the round about together. It's lovely to actually see them play together because of the age gap, it doesn't happen very often! They took it in turns pushing each other and I think Harry was actually glad to get out of the house (despite his protests about how playing FIFA was more important!) They had a blast playing on that round about.

 "Look mum I can turn upside down!" Ellie yelled at me across the park! She was so excited to be outside in the mild weather. "It makes a change for it not to be freezing cold" She said!

After they'd finished playing on the park (and finishing up the sweet treat I bought them on the way to the park), we decided to have a little walk around the field. Well, I walked, they rode there bikes. We couldn't go in the woods because it's not exactly bike friendly, that's ok though, we can do that another day!


 Ellie wanted me to take her photo next to the "Big old oak tree where the owl lives" haha. I don't know if there is an owl that lives in that tree but there should be!

We had a lovely time, we were only out for just over an hour as I needed to get back to prepare lunch and the kids had enough of riding there bikes! We are so, so looking forward to the warmer weather. We will be spending a lot of time exploring the woodland and playing on the park this spring!

Have you ventured out lately? I hope you've all experienced some nice weather, too!

During half term, we went to the cinema, we had a little time to kill before our movie started so we stopped by Castle Park, which is always beautiful no matter what time of year it is! It's so well maintained and landscaped. I only had my phone with me to take photographs on, I do wish I'd had my camera with me though. There are so many of signs of spring just being around the corner and we can not wait!

The kids burnt off some energy running around and looking at all the sights! I was just thrilled to see some flowers in bloom to be honest, haha.
The snow drops on the hill were my favourite! They look so dainty and pretty. Photos do it no justice.

Phew! I am so glad it's half term. It's a very welcomed break in our house by the kids and myself! It's nice to have a break from the school routine, don't you think? It was also nice that today was a sunny day. It was quite chilly but such a pretty day, we couldn't resist a walk in the woodland 'round by where we live.
We packed a backpack with bottles of water, Harry's football boots (because he wanted to play football) and what not and off we went to the park!
We were also looking out for signs of spring a long the way as it's one of our tasks on our February bucket list.



We did spot quite a few of those. We spotted some blossom and the odd daffodil here and there, too!
We arrived at the park and it was pretty empty considering it was such a lovely day! We however, decided a walk in the woods and finding some trees to climb would be more fun than the wet slide!



 Around the woods and the park are little exercise activities to do. Ellie was impressed the bridge and the fact she could walk on it without holding on "Look!! I can do it with no hands, I couldn't do that last year" Bless her.
  The boys were eager to get into the woods and find some trees to climb! A huge part of my childhood was roaming these woods and climbing trees, it's nice to see my children doing the same.


Ellie also had a go at climbing trees and we talked about why and how some of the very old trees had huge holes in them. Some were struck by lightening, others have fallen and what not. Charlie is especially fascinated by old tree's and we had a good chat about tree's! I do love that my children love nature as much as I do.







Harry got to play football on the way home, with some of his friends that were over the park. Ellie also found one of her friends and I had a lovely chat with her mum, which was nice. All the kids played football and other ball games together for the rest of our afternoon! It was fun.
We had a fantastic afternoon!
By the time we'd got home we were all quite muddy but we had a wonderful time! We're really hoping the weather stays nice for half term, it'd be so nice to get outside more and enjoy the fresh air. We are super excited for spring which is just around the corner...
