Auntie Knows Best

The Little Mister learnt a hard lesson today.

He learnt that this is what happens to his stack of Match Attacks cards if he leaves them in the pocket of his shorts which he then puts in the wash.

Oops.

The two boys have been going to football for a few terms now and they are loving it. Today was the end of season awards ceremony and really brilliantly Maxi got the award for the most improved player. The Little Mister was just happy with his Haribo!

Mufti Day at school with a red, white and blue theme.

I was trying so hard to get a nice picture of The Little Mister but he was making ridiculous faces in every single one!

The are almost the same size these days and people keep asking if they are twins.

The Little Miss is extremely keen to help me in the kitchen these days. It would seem that they are taught various skills at school, including how to use a sharp knife. I haven’t really let her practice with it but she is really careful and very safe so I let her cut up the beans. Happy and helpful girl!

A fantastic holiday followed by incredibly tired children. Send gin.

I have been quite worried in the past about taking the kids to a big city but they seem to be loving Istanbul. There is so much to see and hear and the Turkish people are very friendly… sometimes too much so!

The Little Mister is becoming very adept at using chopsticks – or ‘Noodle Sticks’ as they like to call them.

His technique might be somewhat unconventional though!

I love these beautiful boys. They truly light up my life.

Love these two mini-beasts.

They are doing super well at swimming. I just loathe the changing room battles at the end!

Today The Little Mister was invested at Beavers and made his promises.

It was lovely to see him with all his friends and he seems to really enjoy the activities they do. I am so grateful for all the volunteers who make his time special.
