doing doing more doings

We had been working and doing and doing things latley! Enjoying Reuben being at home 4 of the 5 days that he normally would be in nursery! We had decided this would be a really good time to do things together before school starts. I am so proud of myself for doing it for 4 weeks. Its so hard but its so worth it. My nearly4 year old is amazing!! Here is a moment with Mr. Crocodile that we made today while Zac was asleep!

My boys are loving the colouring and just writing time.

Here is Mr Interesting:)) Loves his bike so very much...this is when I wish I had a bike myself:)

Some few months ago Reuben has gotten into his Bakugan and now he loves his new tent and hidaway place in the living room.

Daddy time is so special! Both boys love having daddy around and its always so good for mummy too!

Reuben always loved animals especially if they come with a sticker or two. He is so interested in knowing everything and generally asks what its called in English, French and Hungarian:)))

It was great having aunty Ellie here. Reuben asked that aunty Ellie sleeps with him first night however after the initial enthusiasm he asked for mummy....but he was so excited to have aunty Ellie. NOP NOT AUNTY ELISABETH but aunty Ellie. I was so pleased he was so friendly and affectionate. I am always intriqued by his welcoming and his ability to gage who are the people who geniuinly are interested and like him. He is so good at asking people if they would like a coffee and goes and proceeds to make it....bless! My gorgeous Reuben my pride and joy!

Looking at this picture I have to say I am not regretting ever and how could I possibly?! having a second baby. I am looking at my boys and just feeling so amazing about the friendship and bond that only brothers and siblings can have. I was so selfish when I thought I could deprive Reuben of a sibling. I am blessed with 4 brothers and sisters and I am TRULEY BLESSED and so pleased and happy my sons will know what its like to have a sibling....hope and pray they will always stay this close....and have a special bond.

Aunty Ellie spent a lot of time in the kitchen...too much time. We had probably gained a lot of weight!!

I am a happy mother of two amazing boys! One who;s blog I am writing is the most amazing gift I have ever received (this is not to say the other is not). I can not say how very special a first baby boy is....I am doubley blessed and very very happy content. If I ever doubted there was God I would know there is by looking at my two gorgeous sons

Aunty Ellie had some very special times with my boys. Reuben as always felt it was important to show off after all he is nearly four a proper almost big boy.

In this photo R was eager to tell Zac that when you go to bed you need no shoes....Zac was taking it all in. Actions speak louder than words!!

My beautiful sister Doceova Elisabeta known as aunty Ellie. We used to look very alike...until my hair went black and hers went.....rusty...:))) She has been my support my help and my amazing amazing big sister always. I love her to bits.

We had not so long ago discovered the secret Garden with fish, ducks, water lillies and such. Its been amazing really. Its a 5 mins walk from our house....and soon will have a picknick there.

Among many other things we had been out and about and on one visit we had just seen these strange things:)) there were a few of them.














So much to share so many things to talk about! Its always in a rush these days but hope these have given you a good idea of what we had been up to. Its been a busy busy time...birthdays and many other things and outings. We are slowly getting ready for our 10 day holiday and hope to celebrate R;s bday in Romania. Before that we should enjoy a week in school getting used to what it will be like in September then holiday then few weeks before Rebeka will spend 3 -4 lovley weeks with us. A lot of good comming our way. God is good.

Loads more fun fun fun

Hello! Here is Reuben with aunty Ellie. Oh what a fine pair these two are:) They love and love spending time together. Aunty Ellie is spending her well needed vacation here for 1 week.
Hello!:) Three friends in the rain:) Noah, Reuben and Luca:) They have not met for some time...and although no one else was out there here we are all meeting up in the rain.
Yap, and we spent some time at the fairs for the Dickensian festival. I am finding it so strange that for someone who thought Dickens and learnt about him I am now living in his world and yet still not sure I get him or that I like him!!! Do I have to?!
Anyway, here with lovley MAYOR friend Ted Baker. What a fine and lovley man. R wasn;t impressed and was a bit tired!

Had a bit of too much rain recently. All good for the garden but less good for us all as we are running out of ideas of what to do ....in and around house. Here we all had pop corn on the kitchen floor with Mr Octopus. He seemed nice....so we bought him home from the Dickensian Fair:)))

More cake or biscuit making:))) what can I say boys had so much fun. Since we are on the old and antiqueing stuff like Dickens...I was proud to tell Reuben that the rolling pin he was using was the one from Great Grandma Green probably about 72 years old....not sure he got what I was getting at but still.....

Summer Summer Summer time....

Ah do we know its summer?! Oh yes! And we are really welcomming summer as really we need all that Vitamin DDDDD!
During half term we had planned to do seaside but I chickened out last minute due to Zac being somewhat not himself. He seems to be a bit trantrumy and gets so easily upset...don;t think its here to last but I just wanted to keep an eye on him and be nearer home...however Reuben kept asking me and I promised no matter what Saturday we were going to the beach!! And here we are...I was pleased we were not alone...my friend Marie and her family was there so boys were enjoying the digging (which originally was done by 13 years old Ben)....
It was such a good and lovley day. To see the infinate sea to think beyond the box to try and keep prospect of us being so small in relation to the univers and its creator....I was trying to do the usual thanking God for all....and although I was unable to concentrate with the two children, tired body and mind....loads of people surrounding us and the lovley chats....I still managed to say a HUGE THANK YOU TO GOD for a wonderful day, for amazing friends, for family and their love and off course for the struggles we face that hopefully will draw us closer to God and give us the strenght to carry on....

As alwasy 4-5th of June means Dickens Festival here in Rochester. Dickens was a Victorian novelist who wrote some pretty grimp but to the point novels...Twice a year we have a huge weekend of commemoration. He was known to be writing loads of his books in Rochester (and around Kent...and the south coast) and so there are like hundreds of people who will actually dress up and there are formal parades, all shops are open...people come from near and far and well there is a huge fair at the castle and we alwasy take the kids to enjoy some rides...its the first year the brothers have been together:)))

For those of you who don;t recognise the second oldest cathedral in England that my friends in the backgrounds is Rochester Cathedral, I love it more from outside then I do from inside. I often walk up to the Castle which is opposite it and marvel at the Cathedral....what huge vision people must have had to build such a huge and elegant building. I wonder how many prayers and people have been emtering that sacred place. Back to Reuben he actually loves the Castle grounds weather there is a fair and rides there or not. He enjoys the open space and the green and always asks with great interest about the maps that show the original look of the Castle and points out the Cathedral and the river medway that runs along one side of the castle, the boats...I love how he is so facinated by it all. Today he said he understood there were some people who like fancy dress...when asked whom he wanted to be like he said SPIDERMAN....makes sense hey?!:))

Good weather also means we are seeing more and more friends. here we are at the Cathedral Tea Rooms (the most beautiful garden and caffee) and Reuben has been enjoying special time all day with Nicholas one of his first ever friends, that he looks up to and loves.

And while his younger brother Zac sleeps we often do some crafts...here he is making a Dino painting for Alfie his best friend.

Mummy had a massive clearout and while at it boys took an oppotunity to form a band to the horror of the neighbours who were probably wondering who these idiotic kids were?! Well they know...my gorgeous sons...

When stuck for ideas....ahhhh (well nearly never) my sons do funny things like this:) Reuben particularly feels happy if he manages to make me faint or have a heart attack so here he attacks his brother who is safely hidden and my beloved car:)))

Another craft afternoon with granny Smith....playdo ing and making burgers:)))

Bank Holiday and Bdays season....

Birthdaying has begun! Exactly 4 years ago we had been all eagerly waiting for the arrival of these "monkeys" and wow what 4 years have these been....?! These are the babies (except the twins Sam and Felix who have departed early) that had bonded through mums and dads at NCT classes. Reuben although nearly the last one to be born out of all....(the last ones were the twins), next to Bday girl Jasmin who 31st May is 4 years old- hence we are all together to celebrate....,Joseph, Sophie May, Thomas and Cameron (Sam and Felix missing). I am really happy with this picture as we once had an amazing photo and Reuben missed out so all were there but Reuben. It was such a shame but....here is one with his friends no longer babies....in fact they are all starting school in September that is well scary to us all parents. It does touch me slightly that 9 couples met 4 years ago eagerly aniticipating the arrival of their first borns and 4 years later they are able to share so many amazing experiences. I feel blessed and proud to say these mums and dads have met most weeks (mainly mums and babies) for 4 years..this takes a lot of effort, sacrifice and loads more organising. I have not attended the latest meetings but alwasy managed to get to some every so often so that I don;t loose out. I am proud to be part of this gang...:)) They are amazing and lovley people. Thank you all.

4 kerek evvel ezelott talakoztam ezeknek a gyerekeknek szuleikkel...akkor meg varva vartuk a gyermek sereget ugyanis mamas papasra jartunk es tanulgatni probaltunk arrol hogy hogyan is aljunk hozza a megszuletendo kis pottomok hoz...akik hiszitek vagy nem mar 4 es eletevuket unneplik es Szeptemberben mar iskolaba jarnak....az elso kepen nem szuletesi sorrenben de a kovetkezo kis "majmokat" mutatom be: Reuben, Jasmin (aki Majus 31 en tolti be a 4 evet ezert lett a szulinapi oszejovetel), aztan Joseph, Sophie May, Thomas es Cameron. Hianyzik a keprol a ket iker fiu akik Reuben utan utosoknak szulettek a csoportban....Felix es Sam. 4 even kersztul a csoport legtobb anyukaja es neha apukaja is szinte minden heten talakoznak maradt a Szerda mint mindeg. Sajnos mi nem nagyon jutunk el a talakozokra de jo tudni hogy ilyen szoros kapcsolat van a gyerekek kozott. Nagyon erdekes ez az egesz nekem....nagyon edesek egyutt magyaraznak...beszelgetnek....veszekednek....huuu de sokat nottek!!

Don;t want to miss out on the twins who have been Christened on Sunday. Sam and Felix the twins who are the boys that will go to big school with Reuben. Should be good fun we see them at chruch and Reuben is looking forward to see them and play with them hopefully soon.

Vasarnap unnepeltuk a Felix es Sam keresztelojet...nagyon jol telt. Igazan orultem neki....ok az iker fiuk akikkel Reuben egy suliba fog jarni. Nagyon aranyosak es 2 utcara laknak tollunk.

Reuben has been asking me for ages to make muffins....or cupcakes. Ahhhh ok don;t want to scare you but we did...and it ended up in the bin. The receipee was not good or maybe the cooks...still since we made some more and they are yummmmy....so something else to add to our activities...among much socialising.

Ujjabb hobbi a haznal a muffin illetve a cupcake csinalasa...na ez egy total kar volt ugyanis egyenesen a szemetbe kellett dobnunk de ugyanakkor ma mar ujra keszitettunk es az nagyon sokkal finomabb lett. Ugyhogy ujabb aktivitast lehet a tevekenysegeink kozze sorolni...:))

Its always good to have granny at hand....:)) really she has been a blessing most of the times...she has now been here with us (well in the neighbourhood) since February. We get to see her most days...especially at night time routine. She has dinner with us but also shares our garden and loves our plants and helps look after them. Granny is a true granny in the sense that she is never in a hurry she pays undevided attention to things she does with us...she is alwasy saying interesting things and does make time for us.....although she has not much else to do:))

My BIG nearly 4 year old that makes me and daddy to beam with pride! He is amazingly caring, loving and does really takes things to heart. I am blessed with a very active child...who does not tire and does not seem to run out of steam. He always says yes to every new adventure. He shows great deal of concern for his family and friends and is really really amazing us all the time. He has been fantastic with his potty training he is very conciencious and does things all by himself. He is very independent likes to dress himself and eat all by himself (often exclaimimg "I am eaten all my dinner" expecting a little praise), he plays well and sleeps well. I love his reading his numbers and letters, he has huge vocabulary and loves new words. the other words we were having a quite time and read the Bible together. I was reading to him about baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph and angel. The Story said that the Angel gave Mary fantastic news that she will have God's Son...named Jesus. At the end of the story I asked Reuben ...what did the angel say to Mary? he said: the Angel said: FOR GODs SAKE....:)))) off course he meant to say God's son. I did not explain as I know he was listening. Although I had to think where has he heard that expression?:) Now I know I really gotta watch how I use my OWN VOCABULARY.Shopping with mummy is alwasy exciting especially if he gets to look out the glass lift in the Pentagon and have a ride on some of the toy cars in the shopping centre. I have to say this particular trip was very very good.

Neha anyukaval vasarol a nagy fiu es nagyon elvezi foleg ha o tolhatja a nagy bevasarlo kocsit. Aztan ugye van mas orome is mert hat egy tiszta atlatszo liftel lehet jonni menni es mindnekit fentrol jo magasrol nezni....es vannak am automata autok is amikbe lehet kicsit szorakozni...! Ez a bevasarlas nagyon nagy elmeny volt tobb oknal is fogva.

Always there is a first:) Never seen myself crabs and here is a huge one. Reuben was introduced first time to crab fishing at Broadstairs:)) it was amazing really.

Elso talakozas ezzel a vizben elo valamivel (sajnos nem tudom hogy hivjak magyarul) nekem is elso talalka de hihetetlenul konnyu ra halaszni. Hihetetlen elmeny volt meg a kicsinek is de nekunk is.

Boys are indeed best friends....these two are the joy and pride of my life...they make and break my heart...I never knew love until I had them not this kind of love. I thank God every day and every minute for them....

Ezek a fiuk nagyon jo haverok...olyan edesek. eletem gyotrelme es orome ....soha sem ismertem ezt a szeretetett es eletem minden napjan es perceben halat adok Istennek ertuk es az altaluk kapott erenyekert es elmenyekert....es minden masert ami velok kapcsolhato osze.

Sorry for the long blog so much has happened and so much is happening I wish I could do more blogging and updating cause there is alwasys o much with these pumpkins. Life is never boring here. We socialise, we are active, we love the summer thats finally allowing us to go and see and visit places....! We are making the most of Reuben and us being home and not having to go each day to nursery. Still enjoying Friday at nursery....and seeing his nursery friends. I am soon going to post some videos with Reuben's singing and talented moments....:))

HELP PLEEEASSE

Hello

I have a problem! My button on the blog that allowes me to upload photos is dead....literally dead I am not happy and want it to work....so if anyone has any idea why its this...please lend me a helping word or hand. Mx

newszzzz

Reuben my wonderful nearly 4 years old. Such a wonderful amazing boy. Always on the go....but I am loving him and this stage of his development so very much. here we visited Bodium Castle and we had a fab time. He is hard to catch a good photo of as he is very active and has no time for such vein things:)))

Ah, Reuben has embraced brotherhoood so well and I am not only amazingly thankful but so very pround of him. Yes at time he gets fed up with his brother following him around taking his stuff but generally he loves being a big brother like in this image...the conversation was to die for. R - "how old are you brother?...yeah tahts right you are a baby, you can;t talk and well you need no COKE" and Zac just listens and waits until his brother R thinks he got the message then takes the coke bottle and drinks...= I have two clever lads!:)

Impulsive as I am....one afternoon after playtime out in garden...(see the swim pool and goggles photo) well followed a nice bath and then the boys loved getting into bed and reading stories. I know it looks as though Zac has the book and reads to them but they did all have a book....and they all read at once. They are so good together. The third musketeer is Alfie Booker who is a charmer of a boy loved by both of my boys and does not mind being shared.

My gorgeous Reuben has decided it was time to show everyone some real moves and some swimming:))) with the goggles. He loves swimming one of his favourites. Never gets bored by it....and I am extreamly proud of him. He embraces any challange....anything pshysical he seems to just take and do and I am proud of that. I don;t think I have to think of him ever az lazy bum or such. He is really looking forward to school now that he knows where he will go and whom with..(we know quite a few of the boys and girls who will go to that school). Reuben has been amazing at toilet training yes, toilet (not potty). So we had been dry from about 2 -3 months now....and he has had very few accidents and has been very very good and responsible. What can I say? I have a big boy on my hands and NO MORE NAPPIES day time mess...yay!

And finally, we had come to a new arrangement I might regret but for now we are kind of happy.

Reuben has dropped 4 days at nursery yes, 4 out of 5. So mummy is gona be very very busy. here this last photo was taken at Messy Play. Its a place where we enjoy messy art...its really good. Zac loves this little car and Reuben just loves climbing in it with Zac. My sons 15 months and nearly 4 years old....I am blessed truley blessed. My life is beautiful my life is finally very very much of what it should be.

days out and beautiful weather and kids...

ah it is so hard to pin this boy down for a picture..! We had been busy bees...taking full advantage of the nice weather we had ventured out to Leeds Castle, Kent Life Museum, Scotney Casle, Bodium Castle and are still loving our daily routines and the sorroundings. We live in the most beautiful and rich in heritage area of England I am sure after all this area has been known as Garden of England and we are intending to explore it to its limits.

A moment of bliss at Bodium Castle while the boys were kind a behaving. R here is pretending to sleep...pretty convincingly:)))

Hat igen a szep idovel megjott a kedvunk is a hazbol valo kimenesekre...nagyon jo erzes elvezni a termeszet szepsegeit ennyi hoszu hideg es borongos ido utan. Mar par hete tart a szep ido...es nem hiaba megis csak Anglia kertjeben vagyunk elunk ugyhogy mindent megneznunk es meglatogatunk amit csak lehet. Kulombozo berleteink vannak es ennek is nagyon orulok es halas vagyok ertuk. A draga nagyobbik fiamat nagyon nehez am egy kepre laszolitanni ugyanis mindeg fontos dolga van a kep amin ugy nez ki alszik eppen abban a pillanatban kesuzlt amikor ugy dontott masfel percre behunya a szemet....ugye elegge megteveszto hihetetlenul jo kis szinesz:))

It was funny hearing the big boy talk.....one moment when they were waiting to spot the Kent and Sussex Train on its journey...we had been on it bt never thought to stop at Bodium Castle what a fine place. Amazingly picturesque?! reuben was chatting to Zac about trains. I love this photo as its shows them how they really are with each other.

Nagyon tetszik nekem ez a kep...igazan sokszor ez van elottem reuben magyaraz Zac nak aki persze ugy nez ki figyeli de igazan azt lesi mikor szedheti el a testveretol a Kolat vagy eppena legjobb jatekot. NAgyon ravasz a kis Zac de Reuben szepen viseli....olyan edesek egyutt hancurozni es jatszanni. Itt eppen a vonatott varjak hogy meglathassak ugyanis a folyo masik reszen volt egy kis vonat amin sokszor ultunk mar de soha sem altunk meg ennel a csodas kis katselynal.

After a day of play....with Alfie Booker:)))Reuben's best friend...it was time for bed and than story time. Its funny as its looks as Zac is reading a story but each boy had their books. Was a fab day....and boys were well behaved. I am wondering how this brotherhood will evolve with friends to share?!:) But Alfie is a real sweety as he does not mind being shared.

Hat sok jatszas utan eljott az ideje a furdetesnek es a kis barat (Reuben baratja Alfie) itt maradt mondjam ugy ragadt a firdetes es mese olvasasnal. Nagyon jol erezte magat es a fiuk igaz mindegyikok elott konyalt egyszerre olvastak a meseket. Ugy nez ki Zac olvas nekik de igazabol mindegyik a maga konyvet forgatta. Ez ido alatt nekem idom van a szobat oszeszedni es napi esemenyeket atgondolni....jo ejszakat kivanni...

Nem tudom hogyan lesz ez a testveri kapcsolat mikor baratok lesznek itt...ugy nez ki Alfie nem banja hogy a fiuk mindketten nagyon kedvelik....aminek aztan foleg nagyon orulok....igy veszekedes helyett csak barat csere van....ha teve lekotti egyiket vagy masikatI do not have to introduce you my son Reuben Mr. Adventure:) He insists on wearing goggles and jumping in 10cm water....then pretends that was the best jump ever..! Reallyhe always manages to make me smile to come up with unthought and unheard of stuff...:)) he does not waste time and makes always sure that he is up to something. Its very draining and tireing but makes me love him even more. He continues to be a fab boy a boy that helps and enjoys family life. He has progressed from Dinoking things to BEN 10 and enjoys watching that alonhw ith Scooby doo and Tom and Jerry. Ben 10 not my favourite but hope it passess soon.

Ugye nem kell bemutassam a draga fiam? Mindeg valami olyat talal ki ami megkacagtat vagy eppen felduhit. Itt ugye ersokodott a buvar szemuveg felteveseben es az ugralasban amit mindketten ocsse es Alfie baratja elveztek. Elmondhatom Reubenrol azt hogy hihetetlen ahogyan jar az agya mindeg valamiben mesterkedik nem emngedi hogy ellaposodjam es unatkozzam...allanodan resen kell lennem vele de ettol valahogy csak megjobban szeretem....es elvezem hogy van nekem. Totalisan lerobbaszt kifaraszt de ugyanakkor nagyon megvigasztal es sok oromet szerez. Hihetetlennek tunik hogy 100% an szoba tiszta es nem igazan vannak problemaink....ezen a teren HALA AZ ISTENNEK. Egybkent ugyesen baratkozik, cseveg, magyaraz es erdeklodik minden felol. Most ujabb programok a teveben ujjab erdeklodeseket hoznak elo mint peldaul Ben 10 (remelem nem sokaig tart az elvezett nem a kedvenczem mese) es Scooby Doo na meg Tom es Jerry.
