It’s been a lovely weekend. On Saturday we took the kids’ bikes into Sutton Park for a long ride. Alfie’s cycling skills have improved enormously since the last time and he was really chuffed with himself. It won’t be long before the bikes all get passed down yet again and he gets a bigger one.
The reason why I only have pictures of Alfie is because H was miles behind on her trike with Rich LOL!
We rode down to Banners Gate pool and fed the ducks.
Then onto the play area where Alfie was pleased to bump into Sam and Alex. He was even more pleased when Tracey and Mel were able to rescue him after he got his knee firmly wedged in a hollow branch whilst tree climbing! I honestly thought I was going to be calling the fire brigade! We then rode back to the car to get our picnic which we ate whilst watching the model aircraft flyers. Alfie was particularly taken with the model helicopters and now has a joint project for him and Grandad once he retires
Back home, a few chores and the boys watched Alice in Wonderland whilst Holly and I packed away her 2-3 years clothes and replaced them with 3-4 years ones. She is growing up so fast! She was so happy hanging up all the lovely clothes – especially theĀ Frugi sale stuff (LUSH!!!!!) and hand-me-downs from her heroine Lauren
This morning I nipped to the supermarket whilst Rich played with the kids, then Pizza Hut for lunch followed by botanical gardens. How lush is H’s Frugi dress
She has been dancing to her radio in it loads today LOL!
Back home Alfie spent ages sitting with me doing the crafts in his Charlie and Lola magazine. I rarely get them mags as they are extortionate and many are soooo unsuitable (reward charts etc – yuk!) but he does like the Charlie and Lola craft one so I decided to treat him (and H to an ITNG one as she loves the stickers!)
