Football Fever, bug hunting and a visit from the Tooth Fairy!

Football Fever is here ........ Jamie has become obsessed with football. As soon as he wakes up he gets dressed up in his football attire and dashes out into the garden and practises his football skills.

Luckily he practices inside with a sponge ball! Look at those legs!!

During Half-term we went to Sutton Courtenay Environmental Education Centre. We had such a great day. I love this place, being in the outdoors and it hardly costs anything and we get so much from it.

The worm is not that clear, but silly Daddy is pretending to eat it!

One of the activities was to make a bird feeder.

Jamie making his bird feeder, we took it home and put it in the garden to feed the birds.

A spot of bird watching.

Jamie found a friend.

The first snowdrops I have seen this year.

Daddy and Jamie making a stick monster.

Making a frog on a toadstool, using fondant icing and biscuits.

A work of art.

New football trainers. He was so pleased to get these.

Jamie's tooth fell out today. It is the first tooth to come out naturally, and was not knocked out like his top two teeth when he fell over! He has put his tooth under his pillow ready for when the tooth fairy visits during the night.

February is ..... congratulations and celebrations!!

CONGRATULATIONS PHILIP!

He did it!! He passed his driving test. Well done Philip, I cannot explain how pleased I am for you, I am so proud that you never gave up and kept on going! I will never forget when I saw that massive smile on your face and I just cuddled you!

A little poem for you:

You've cracked it!..Knew you could
Your driving test you've passed
It's all over now, a job well done
The 'L' plates gone at last
But just make sure you take heed
Of what's in the Highway Code
Please keep safe and drive with care
You're a 'Newbie' on the road!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANIEL!

Can't believe your 21 already! I remember the day you were born and holding you in my arms. I fell in love with you instantly and love you as much now as I did then!

I found a poem for you too:

How could it be so long ago
You were just a babe in arms
Melting everybody's heart
With all those baby charms.

How could the years have gone so quick
It seems like yesterday
When you were just a little boy
Running out to play.
Did somebody put forward
The precious hands of time
And turn our little son
Into a man so sublime.

For here you are today
All grown up and lovely too
A warm and gentle person
So special through and through.
And all those childhood charms you had
Have grown with you each day
And made you much more special
Than words could ever say.
So Daniel, may all the dreams
You hold within your heart
Come true and bring you happiness
From which you'll never part.

Congratulations on your 21st Birthday
With love, Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I would like to take credit for the poems, but sorry to say, I borrowed them, as poetry is not one of my talents!

At the moment Jamie likes to come home from school and get the face paints out and chose a design he wants, it was the skeleton today! With fake blood for added gore!

Jamie was sat on the worktop making his toast this morning, he saw the sink full of bubbly water and could not resist giving his feet a bath!

We practised Jamie's writing today, he did really well.

Look at the concentration!

Daddy and Jamie put on a magic show.

Just like that!

Abracadabra!

Daddy was chief cake maker today. He has caught the cooking bug! Just have to get him into making dinners now!! Jamie was chief taste tester!!

Jamie oliver better watch out!

Yum, yum!!

The Aliens are coming!

Jamie and I have been busy at school, our topic is "To infinity and beyond". The kids have loved getting into their role play spaceship, making a moon surface from modroc, baking star biscuits and making aliens.

Aliens with the planets.

Jamie made some claws and pretended to be a monster, but in my opinion he is far too cute to be scary!!

Not so scary monster!

Jamie felt like being creative. He made his dinosaur (with a little help from Mummy! It had to be slotted together and the instructions were not the best!) which he got from Father Christmas when he came to visit school, he then decided to paint him (multi-coloured dinosaurs were all the rage years ago!!) He then wanted to mix colours, which he always wants to, he just loves the feel of the paint squishing through his fingers.

There seems to be a pattern occuring when he is being creative, he either is in his pants or pyjamas!! Not sure what that means?!

Jamie and I had a game of mini table tennis. He did win, but I'm sure there was a little bit of cheating when he was keeping the score!

Super Jamie! He gets his fit body from his Daddy!!

Most nights this week we have read Jamie the book called "honey biscuits" and as you have probably gathered from the title it is a story about a boy cooking honey biscuits and it explains where all the ingredients come from and at the end there is the recipe for the biscuits and Jamie asked Daddy if he could make them. So Daddy was up for the challenge and they had a baking session. I kept out the kitchen and it was lovely to hear them having fun together baking. They were so delicious (I did mean the biscuits that I tasted, and not Jamie and Daddy, although they are both delicious too!) one of the best biscuits I have tasted.

The book.

Mini Master Chef!

The Master Chef (looking very dishy!)

Biscuits "yum, yum!"
