Herne Bay's New Park

Finally Herne Bay's skanky old park has been replaced...the kids had seen the renovations happening and were exited to go once it was finished. It opened about a week ago and this is the second time they have been...it attracts a lot of older kids now, but is really good. The kids love it!

Easter Monday 2010

Mum and I took the kids - James, Kaitlyn, Missy and Zach to Wildwood

Fully Invested Beaver!

James has been attending Beavers for a while now and he absolutely loves it. Tonight he was invested...he had to recite the motto ' Fun and Friends' and the promise 'I promise to do my best to be kind and helpful and to love God'.

Day out in Canterbury

The kids and I went on a trip to Canterbury, we caught the park and ride, had lunch at kids favorite McDonalds and visited the Canterbury Museum.


Lunch time..happy meal = happy kids x

James's version......not bad I think

It would've been a cheap day if they hadn't fleeced me for toys x

Sledging

The kids and I went out with friends Jo & Jeff and their son Bradley over to the BMX track in Broomfield to go sledging. It was blowing a blizzard outside, but the kids had great fun sledging down the slopes. However once the fun was over, the tears came as we had to walk back home against the wind...poor Kaitlyn was not happy.

I feel I've made my snow effort now...snowman yesterday, sledging today...I'm now ready for springtime to come!

Party of Three

Poor old Kaitlyn...she turned 4 today, but the celebrations were slightly lacking. I had planned to get out yesterday to get her present...sylvannian families is the toy of choice at the moment...however due to the snow and the kids being off school I couldn't get out...and the conditions were even worse today, so she had to make do with a spare Christmas present that I had left over...just a secret diary notebook and pen. She liked it however and was pleased with her card and gift.

I made a chocolate cake for her, wrapped up a bag of sweets for pass-a-parcel, and the three of us had a party. The kids had fun and didn't really care that it was just us.

Snow School Today!

At last Herne Bay has had some real snow - about 4/5 inches, and hence the school and playgroup were closed......it's lucky schools in Russia or Canada don't close when there's a few inches of snow as it would send their economies into free fall, however England wouldn't be England if we didn't get ourselves into a panic at the first sight of the white stuff.

Despite my plans for the day of being ruined, we made the most of it and were very productive in snowman construction and snow excavation activities.

Kaitlyn wimped out before the snowman was actually finished, we shortly followed her and warmed up with hot soup.
