happy mother's day?! Mothering Sunday PLEASE NOTE THE DIFFERENCE!

Bless! as always on Friday last week I looked through Reuben's school bag and found these! It wasnt yet mothering sunday but I couldnt help getting excited, my little boy said to me that although he made that for me and it wasnt meant to be given to me til Sunday I can surley have it cause I am the most wonderful mummy.....(tears tears)....so there not only two beautiful pictures but also a little bit of a romantic words straight from the HEART. I asked Reuben if he thought it was a good idea to have a mummy's day and he said SURE mummy when its MY DAY?!- enough of that...lets talk about mummy...then!:))))We had a not so good weekend as the boys were stuck indoors a lot and that got to us all...not that we don;t have enough toys, space or such it was just that there were many things we wanted to do, fit a sleep routine and also have fun all individually and all together two....and it kind a went off the rail and got a bit boring. To make up today was a manic day, not only school, parents meeting, mini playdate and swimming we also found these adorable bunnies while picking up some last minute sausages at the local coop and they were too cute not to start bringing colour to them straight away. i loved that during my cooking both boys in the company of granny Smith were busy painting:))) with such dedication and such excitiment each talking about what their bunny would be like in the end....well what do you think? i think they are pretty cute and lovley and will make a fab little display for Easter which is soon on our doorstep. I failed miserably already at my LENT "praise" thing but I guess cant be doing it all. God sees our hearts and feelings...he is not like us humans....we respond to human stuff to displays of emotions, actions and such...but he really does know our hearts and understands our unspoken and unformed thoughts....prayers, wishes and even knows apparently the number of our hairs....wow! so nope I am not giving into the guilt stuff instead I choose to be thankful that I am able to talk and walk and think as much as I do....and the rest is GRACE! only grace!
back to bunnies.....I love my two boys....and I am just so so pleased and proud of them and their latest developments and adjustments to their new rooms and all.A very tired Reuben concentrating to make his bunny the most beautiful one....
We had parents meeting with teacher today and I want to say how proud and incredibly thankful I am for my beautiful, clever, vivatious and energetic son. Teacher was reporting that Reuben runs into the class and brings the sunshine straight away, he is keen to learn and is very excited to help and integrate others in activities that they do. He enjoys the school and even when seemingly tired he is always happy to talk to teachers and friends. I am most proud that he never missed a school day and that he understands the need for school....his first question every morning is "mumy is it school day today?" I think deep down he off course wishes it will be "no its Saturday" but he does not get dissapointed when I say "it is a school day Reuben". He is one and only Reuben and I love him so very much. I just wish that this "mario" stage passes soon and he is back to Thomas and his friends and the land of living:)))
But just as the next picture shows he still finds a lot of time for scootering, cycling and skittles and all possible sports! Bring on the sunshine and bring on some bank holiday and long weekends fun.....:)))

not a lot of people know that I belong to a family of people who are very good at sports, both of my brothers have done a lot of football, athletics and table tennis...(in fact one of my brothers is still playing weekly table tennis and football), also I from the age of about 8yrs old I had done ballet then moved on to gymastics (I was particularly good at long jump and short distance running and bedmington), my father was a keen footballer but he has had a go at everything he could. Now wait for this, one of my A levels is in Physical Education.....yes yes....it was running and long jump....and yes I got very good grade. So I am watching Reuben and wondering what will he be very good at? I do not want him to do something specifically but whatever he puts his mind to I would hope he will excell and find tremendous joy in. For now all I know he seems keen on every sport even playing with the idea of skiing.....yay! i used to be good at that too and my brother Misi was a pro at it too....yap yap I know time to finish.....my long post...just a tad excited about the future....which seems so bright....
