Day 12: Catch up blog

This weeks positives:

Sunday -

1: We had church. G, J and S all stayed in their classes until the end!

2: We enjoyed a pretty chilled out day.

Monday -

1: The kids got to see their Dad.

2: I took an early afternoon walk with S and Gangan. S slept in her Moby almost the entire time.

3: We met our friends at the beach. The kids had a wonderful time, G and J both flew kites for the first time (G actually managed it by herself!). Then we went back to our friends home for dinner. It was such a lovely time.

4: The children received their birthday/Christmas presents in the mail. James got a beautiful wooden London bus with peg people and Gracie got an amazing pink sparkly Doc Mcstuffins kit! They were so excited.
 
5: G asks me to sing about her a lot so on our way home I asked her to sing about me, I got "Mommy moo Mommy moo YOUR A MOMMY MOO hahahahaha"

Tuesday -

1: We decided to take the kids to the beach for a picnic.


2: We enjoyed laying in the sand. G chased sea gulls and J carried around giant balls of smelly seaweed.

3: The kids played on the swings in the playground for a few minutes.

4: Gangan and I stopped to get drinks. Gangan found a fruit juice drink we haven't seen since I was a little girl in England. It was fun to share it with the kids!

5: I put lavender oil on S before bed time and she fell asleep almost instantly!

6: Not REALLY a positive but I woke up at midnight to hear G having a massive tantrum on her bed, went in to discover she thought it was breakfast time and was rather disappointed it was not time for toast.

Today -

1: I made pancakes for the kids breakfast.

2: The kids watched Finding Nemo.

3: S walked using her walker for the first time today! She was so proud of herself. She would take two or three little steps and then stop to wave and smile.

4: S also said her first word this week! Grandpa has taught her to wave and say "Hi". This morning I was also treated to a round of "Mamamama". She is growing up way to quickly!

5: The children ate some of the chocolate that came in the parcel on Tuesday. Chocolate buttons (my favorite!). G ate hers in about 3 bites lol. J quietly went in the living room and sat next to S and decided to share with her. He would eat one then give her one. I might add that she thought this was BRILLIANT. He is such a kind little boy. Oh and btw... S had her first taste of chocolate this week! LOL (much sooner than I had planned...)

I know there is a million things I have forgotten. It's been a rather wonderful week :)

Goodnight all
