January.....how long are you staying for?

Oh, we so glad we had ventured out today! We were debating way too long and way too much about all the amazing places we could have seen today....but here at Wingham Life Centre we just had a fabulastic day. Well decided me thinks. Its been a long long winter and we are so desperate for a warm and sunny day....Boys not only enjoyed the animals and the variety of play areas but also the diggers..always a winner.By far the most exciting thing we had seen today was feeding the penguins and listening to what that very clever lady had to say about them. To think that she knew each of them personally and predicted what they were going to do next amazing me thinks! Did you know that when they get fed fish they always catch the fish head first?! Its easier for them to swallow....wow...cute little things too!yeah my forever adventurous Reuben claims this is a child's play he needs a bigger challange where is the higher climbing frame?hello cuty ...meet my brother Mr. pickle:)))the brothers always walking together to discover the great outdoors!

The sun was indeed shining and I just am loving a sunny day...such a rare one here in UK. I miss my sunny days from home...!! I think Reuben also is trying to catch some sun and get some vitamin D.how can we not enjoy a little KOALA BROTHERS AND TWEENIES?!So very very sorry but had to post this as its just one of those moments...:) attempting toilet train Zackie....his big brother is telling him its really not that hard all you have to do sit and puuuuuuuuushhhhhhhh but Zackie thinks its a smiling matter:))) well....as you can see at least none of them gets bored while in the small room of tha house!Swimming continues Reuben is doing really well. We are yet to get the 10m badge but really we are not after badges just enjoying things and learning in our time.A morning in the Smith;s household...the boys are breakfasting ...yes yes its chock spread toasty:))) and coke....and yoghurt and fruit and off course some sausages...all in this order. All I know my boys are happy, energetic and full of wonderful little mischiefs:)

Had a very eventful week. Reuben has been up and down....after last week;s vomitting fiesco which ruined my bedlinnen and duvet and saw him struggle with fever. then came a cold and then Friday he had an accident at school where he has managed to cut open his upper gum (trying to blow in some tube which then slid and cut very deep). He was very brave but I think he really was shocked and upset.

Saturday we just drove each other mad literally while Sunday we all went and enjoyed a day out with our favourite animals and enjoying nature. WE REALLY MISS THAT SPRING....hurry up sunshine and long days....

NEW YEAR

Its always such a drag to update then I am always really pleased I did as looking back sometimes makes one so thankful and grateful. Its been an interesting start of the year and 2012 I have no major resolutions or solutions or big goals other to just be who I am as a person, wife and mother. I want to stick to my guns and do what we as a family decide to do and continue the good work. I know this sounds as BIG HEADED but I have to admit I get very easily off track for the sake of the other and often at the price of my own sanity and my family's too. So far we had been very good and enjoyed more HOME time and planning the boys rooms (all will be revealed when we actually agree on how and what) and rest of the house. We are particularly happy and content with what we had achived downstairs at ground floor level, bathrooms and kitchen all having been made into more family orientated and it has eased grately our lives. We hope good work will continue.

Last weekend we had gone to see one of our favourite places (Romney Marsh) with the steam trains. We had not realised the last train to Dungeoness was so so late so we decided not to go on it. While in the play area once train left....we saw a baby engine up and down the line....(being trained...) and the driver was kind enough to let us into the bigger picture of that place. We got to see some special engines (asleep they were in the sheds) an ride the single baby engine....and it was so very special. Today was back to swimming and we have a few playdates lined up tooo so this week should whizz past too.. and hope it will be a good one. Here are some of the recent photos!
