Auntie Knows Best

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.

School disco tonight and this is the first one The Little Miss has attended.

She was very excited about having her photo taken, unlike The Little Mister who is in the background complaining about not wanting to be in the picture.

This photo made me smile. He looks so like his Daddy, concentrating at the computer. He is completely obsessed with technology.

Every week my Dad comes for tea and the children love seeing him. We were especially happy to see him today as he looked after them whilst The Mister and I went out.

The Little Mister and his best buddy play football together on a Saturday. This is how they were standing when they were choosing teams – I think they wanted to be on the same side!

This was actually taken on Saturday but today has been a manic day of running about at work, sorting out the kids and the choir.

The Little Mister started at Beavers tonight and he absolutely loved it. I was worried that he might be a bit nervous but he was happy enough once he saw a couple of people he knew.

He is a busy boy and can be horribly annoying and disruptive when he is under-stimulated. He is also getting really good at football and loves his new kit which Grandpa bought for his birthday.

Merry Christmas. We had a delightfully relaxing morning and lunchtime, eating food and opening presents and then we wandered down to my sister’s house for dinner.

A lovely Christmas Day with the people I love most.
