Our Anniversary

Our Anniversary always falls during half term. This week Spencer had the whole week off. We packed our week full of outings and visits but I'll leave that to another blog.

Anyway being so busy all week, neither Spence or myself had managed to get the other a present or even a card. It was our first day back at home after being away for a few days so we were having a lazy day as we were heading out in the evening. The kids had been down stairs for a while and had told us not to come down as they were doing a 'Surprise'. They do say this quite alot so I didn't take much notice and carried on with what I was doing.

Well a while later they called us and said

"Your surprise is ready"

As we got to the top of the stairs we found arrows on the floor point the way we should go. When we reached the living room we found 2 wrapped presents and 6 cards. They had each made 2 anniversary cards for us and (the cheeky monkeys) had found 2 boxes of chocolates that I had bought earlier in the week to start my Christmas stock. Bless them they had found the time to give our 10th wedding anniversary the respect it deserved much more than we had.

In the evening the older 3 were taken by Auntie Julie and Uncle Jared to the cinema as a treat to see Lion King in 3D. While Me, Spence and Alyssa went out to dinner. As we got home and they were going up to bed, Faith turned round and said

"Did you have a lovely anniversary Mummy and Daddy?"

10 years and 4 kids later, I'm so glad they are here to remind us what a blessing those 10 years have been.

HAPPY 10th ANNIVERSARY TO US X

WE LOVE SCHOOL

Can't believe it's been 2 months since my last blog, so lazy.

But anyway we have been back at school for 6 weeks now. Faith has the same teacher as she had in year 1, Mr Corfield along with Mrs Forest who are both lovely and so Faith, as always, LOVES SCHOOL.

Phoebe has a brand new teacher, brand new to the school and brand new to teaching. I have to admit I was not impressed and was really worried that this was going to be another bad year for Phoebe. But after parents evening on Thursday I have to swallow my words. She is really lovely and is very on the ball in regards to how Phoebe is doing. I think the fact that we have only had one morning of crying from Phebe's in 6 weeks (and that was dew to the fact I dropped her off first instead of Faith) as oppose to it happening at least twice a week last year speaks volumes. So I have to say Phoebe LIKES SCHOOL.

Then we have Elijah. He has started nursery and goes 5 mornings a week 8:45 - 11:45 and HE LOVES IT. He jumps out of bed in the morning and after he has woken me up with his "pssst, is it morning? Can I have breakfast" He's next question is "Is it school today?" He is so excited that he gets to go to school with Faith and Phoebe. So we can definitely say Elijah LOVES SCHOOL.

So we will keep working on it with Phebe's but for now I am very happy with 2 LOVES and a LIKE.
