October Half Term 2013

As always we were happy to help out with child care during the holidays. We only had the kids for two days this time and as the weather was rubbish on Monday we took them to the cinema. They wanted to see Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs. I didn't have a clue what was going on, but judging by the happy kids all around us it was clearly a popular film.

On Tuesday Jo came to stay. Phoebe, Abigail and William haven't seen Madelyn for ages and they were very excited at the thought of her coming to stay. On Tuesday morning Phoebe and Abigail played schools while we waited for Jo.

Spot the real boy!

They only had one real pupil and he soon got bored, so more teddies were brought in to make up the numbers. Not really sure why I've still got this many soft toys in my house.

Trying to make lunch for everyone was a bit of a challenge. I think Phoebe got fed up with me asking what they wanted so she marched into the kitchen with this. 

 

                  ⬆ and stuck it in front of me.

After lunch we went to the shop and everyone chose a magazine. There were lots of stickers to put in and everyone needed a bit of help.

Even grandad got in on the act.

 Madelyn was a bit under the weather but the kids had a plan to cheer her up

   Peppa Pig time. Yay!!

              

The weather was bright and sunny the next day so we got togged up and headed off to the park.

                                      

 It was lovely seeing everyone having fun together.

Despite feeling poorly Madelyn had a good time.

   Lovely girls xx

We got cold after a while so we came back for lunch

We had planned to go out again but the toys came out so did the chocolate,so we stayed put.

                                    

 

I took the kids over to the park to collect conkers. Grandad and William turned them into game conkers.

       

A few whacked knuckles and the game was soon finished.

It was super lovely to have all my gorgeous grandchildren together. Sadly it doesn't happen often

                               

     

All to soon it was time to take Jo and Madelyn home. We stopped off to pick up some shopping. Madelyn was feeling much better now

 Crazy baby . 

  These are a couple of photos that Madelyn's childminder sent to Jo. 

 

              

    Lovely smiley little sweetheart.

                It was Williams birthday on Thursday. He went for a curry.!!

                  Birthday boy.

                    And his lovely sisters

                            

   Cheers!!
