Weekend

Still playing catch up but I will be around to visit those I have missed today.  Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments on my last couple of posts they are always greatly appreciated.  A Warm welcome  to new followers I really do hope that you enjoy my little adventures through life.   I have had a wonderful weekend playing with the children Bertie and Honey, they are such a joy to have.  They certainly light up our lives.  The mermaid tail was a big hit, a little big which was a bonus really as they grow so quickly at this age.

 
Look at her sat up all on her own.
 
 
 
Bertie had some homework to do, how quickly he has grown.  Shapes...
 
He drew around lots of pastry cutters for his work book and then we had a lot of fun making biscuits using the shape cutters.
 

 
 
We had great fun decorating all the biscuits and even more eating them...
 
We managed to get out and about despite the wind and the rain.  The soft play centre is always a firm favourite and we went bowling for the first time.  Bertie loved it and was really quite good at it, certainly something that we would do again.  Although I must admit to feeling a little stiff this morning.  I managed to have a clean around yesterday as they left after a late lunch so it is my intention to do some laundry and then sit and crochet for a few hours.  I will share my progress on another post. 
 
My heart goes out to all those that have been affected by Hurricane Matthew.  It really does make you focus on what is important and thankful for the little things in life.   
 
See you soon.

  2. The mermaid tail looks fabulous and Honey's such a cutie, she's grown so quickly, they don't stay babies for long. Soft play areas were fairly new when we had our two but we were so pleased of them on days when we couldn't get outside because of the weather, they're great places for kids to let off steam.

  3. Oh the mermaid tail looks fantastic on Honey.
    Ruby loves bowling and she's very good at it too.....which is maybe why I let Aunty DD take her.....oh the embarrassment of being beaten by a six year old when I used to be quite good at it myself...lol-x-

  5. Isn't this a great time of life? Having grandchildren is such a joy. Well done on the mermaid tail, and those shaped biscuits look like they were lots of fun to construct.

  6. You have beautiful grandchildren, just love that mermaid tail.
    We were allowed back home yesterday--over 10 trees down in our yard, big ones, but the house wasn't hit, we are blessed.

  10. It looks like she does love her little mermaid tail. I made one for Miss Piper for Christmas and it's all put away just waiting to be sent to her. Bertie is growing up quickly. You are so blessed to be able to see them so often. Have a lovely day my friend.
    Blessings, Betsy

  11. That sort of home education/play warms my soul and takes me back to my reception teaching days when you weren't trying to get small people to learn what verbs are!! The little one looks so cute in the crochet cosy, it is a thing I am often asked to crochet for others but I never have. Jo x

  22. Honey models her fish tail beautifully :) Thanks for letting us see and for letting us keep up with Bertie a bit as well. Our Grands are blessings and all the more so when we are aware of the storms in life that cause destruction. xx
