Ho Ho Ho and away we go! <3

Today we went to see the big guy himself!
We went over to Milton Keynes with Granny to see Father Christmas, It was so much fun - Mummy is some what of an expert when it comes to the Big FC and she thought he rocked! He was amazing and had a real beard and low voice, I am convinced it was a double bluff....That he was the real one pretending to be a fake!


Tilly and Elsie both got a lovely gift from Santa - they were actually quite good ones! Tils got a scooby doo tin with magnets, and colouring stuff and Elsie got a cool rag doll.
One of Father Christmas' Elves kindly took a photo of us all!
Santa Giving Elsie her Rag doll.
Tils had a chat with Santa, He reminded her to leave a carrot out for rudolph.
The scenery!

We went a on the christmas train and looked at the festive display - it had reindeer, elves, snow and rabbits it was lovely.
Tils having a cuddle with Santa, Elsie was not too impressed when we were in Santa's grotto and just wanted to be cuddled by Mummy and Granny but she loved her doll.

Christmas Tree at Daddy's

Today Daddy bought a Christmas tree for us, We had lots of fun decorating it with the new decorations we bought this morning, Elsie was loving all the little bits and bobs and took them off about 100 times faster than we could put them on!
Elsie keeps pulling her skirt and top up to show her tummy - she thinks it is really funny!
Tils loved going throught the box of decorations, and thought the Pink beads were fab, she wore them as a necklace for about half an hour!
The tree half decorated! More photos of the finished artical to follow!

Merry 'almost' Christmas From Matilda and Elsie

It suddenly feels like Christmas! It has popped up on us again. Mummy is so unprepared, I have only just started shopping!
Mummy has been busy packing and getting everything ready for our big move and the girls have been busy socialising and doing toddler things...Elsie is a fully fledeged walker now and is also incredibly stubborn - not like anyone I know! So she wants to walk everywhere...even though she has another new buggy which I would rather she sat in and looked beautiful!....What will I do when she out grows a buggy, I can't bare to think about it!
Tils is loving calender time in the morning, she loves finding the numbers on the calenders but adores the treats inside, we had to doctor Elsies to remove anything that would set off her allergies, but she is more than happy with some raisens and a banana chip!
The last few days have been quite borng as Mummy has been packing and sorting stuff out, It will probably be the same for another few days too! We do need to make our cards though and have some other crafty things planned.
and some Big news....We hope to visit Santa in the next few days!


Ho HO HO

Novemberish

As you can see I have not been great at updating this blog recently! Elsie and I are staying at Charlie's for the next few days whilst Matilda and Daddy are cruising around Eurodisney with Auntie Bindle. Tils also has chicken pox so she is a spotty bean.
Mummy has been flat hunting in Brighton but we are yet to find anything suitable, they are either too cheap or too expensive, too high up or too small... we are hoping to find something in the next few days so fingers crossed!
Grandma took Elsie for a few hours last night whilst Mummy caught up with Liane and B, it was great to see them and later on Elsie joined us and showed off her teeth! Today we are meeting Carla and Aimee for sushi - Elsie loves Sushi! If you click on this link there is a voucher for 5 free plates of sushi!
No pictures today but I will be sure to add some soon x

***Update***

Here are the pictures from that week

Mummy met up with B^^^ and Liane and Grandma took Elsie for a walk along the pier!

Laine got free wine - She was happy!
Aimee and Elsie rocking the Sushi
Elsie doing a shaking boxer!

An early start!

Tils having a spin in the bowl at the park.
At the park it was chilly but lots of fun, we got up and went out early as Daddy had been out with Tum and they were suffering after Birthday drinks the night before - It was a good move as we had the park to ourselves!
Leave stomping is so much fun! - Tils dressed herself today!
We went out on a crisp autumn morning to crunch some leaves!

Daddy's Birthday

Elsie rollin in last Seasons buggy!

Daddy and Tils with their facial hair.
Yes Elsie has her pyjamas on back to front and a crusty face but she looks soooo good sporting the facial hair that I thought it was ok to include these pictures...and we were at Granny's!
We stayed at Granny and Pop's house for Daddy's Birthday and had a pirate cake (made by Mummy and Tilly) as requested by Daddy!

Sunday

Today we went to see Charles before he goes to Afghanistan for his 6 month tour ('tour' makes it sound like a holiday...Posting?) We met him and Lucy in West Wycombe and went for a walk around the national trust area and then we went to a viallage pub for ice cream a drink and a play on their climbing frame. It was great to see them and we can not wait to see them again soon!

Super saturday

This morning Tils went out to work with Daddy, they had to get rid of all the scrap metal Daddy has been collecting for the last few months. Then they came back and Daddy had to fix the leak in the bath - we are always the last to get plumbing jobs finished!!!
Then we walked to town and Tils had to print some pictures she had choosen of her family, she had about 20 pictures as she has pictures of Daisy and Sam, Mia and Bob, Cala and Jay, Jo, Grandma, Grandad, Nanny pineapple (Nanny Maureen)Uncle Charlie, Granny and Pops.- They are for school, she has to tell her class about her family, the only person we did not have a suitable picture of was Auntie Bindle - she is holding a glass or cigarette in all of our pictures so they were deemed unsuitable by the panel - Mummy and Daddy! I think most of the Children will have their immediate family so I hope the teachers have put aside a couple of hours for Tils presentation!
Tils scooted to town and managed some 'big air' on the post office disability ramp!

Elsie is climbing mad at the moment and Climbs on everything.
Daddy took Tils for a milshake as she had been such a good helper in the morning.
Elsie rockin' the Forbes snout.
My little china girl has grown so much in the last few weeks!

That old box was alot of fun earlier!
Daddy burnt his tongue on some solder...duh...why did he put it in his mouth in the first place???
Its saturday night and Elsie is waiting for Dale!!!

Wig is walking!

Although the Elsinator has been trotting around for some time she is now a fully fledged walker! It is so odd seeing her tottering around! I dont have any pictures at the moment but I will add some later! We hope you are all having a great weekend xxx

Funky friday

This morning we were on Lemon Curd duty again as our last batch was such a success we were getting requests for more, Tils was great at whisking up the eggs and squeezing the lemons and limes, When we had finshed we went down to Livvy and Penny's house and we all walked to town, we shared the buggy which was a disaster as we bought too much in waitrose and had no room for it all! The two older girls went to school and the Mummy's, little ones and Gemma, Lara and Hattie went back to our house for scones, jam and clotted cream. Then Livvy came round for Tea and we had homemade carrot soup which the girls helped to make.

Elsie and Pen getting ready for some hardcore Waitrose action!!!

Blackberry milkshake

Today we went Brambling, we got up early to try and find some blackberries to make a pie (Although Tils wanted a blackberry milkshake!) but we could not find any! We looked high and low and searched in lots of places but they had all gone.
Mummy's phone had been broken (it is also a 'blackberry' it must have gone out of season too, I was almost tempted to liquidise my phone into a milkshake!), it had put its self into 'flight' mode and would not recieve any calls for the last few days, it started working again but then stopped so it has to go back to the shop for a repair - she has so many problems with phones! Her sewing machine and the computer have also been playing up so she has been trying to fix those too! Granny has taken Tils and Elsie for the night so Daddy is going to take Mummy out for supper...Yum yum!


We do not have any pictures of us today.

Here come the girls.

Click on our girl picture to see the Sugarbabes video and hear the song.

Tils loves the Sugarbabes song 'here come the girls' and dances like a mad lady when she hears it! We all have to stop what we are doing and dance when it comes on. Chris Moyles plays it nearly every morning this week and Tils calls it her girl music- its not for stinky boys like Daddy!

Elsie and her mate Dale

Elsie loves Dale Winton!!! She laughs so much when that rubbish program 'hole in the wall' is on tv on a saturday night, she thinks it is hilarious!

Mummy was surprised when a leaflet popped through the door and it was one of the final fliers she had designed for Hannah (@ defern) - Really bad photo of Mummy... But I was so pleased with the final result when it had the real logo on and had got to print! The more elaborate ones are going on her website and other internet stuff.

You spin me right round baby right round!

Today we took our new buggy out for a spin, we only managed to have the last one for a grand total of 9 days before we had to sell it so that Tils could be transported around! I had waited ages for the Lulu Guiness I love you buggy, but now we have a sensible double buggy! Tils is back in shoes and is able to walk although she says she is abit 'wobbly' in the mornings until she wakes up properly (about 10am!) she limps, So we have the buggy for long journeys and wet weather!- she looks rediculous in the buggy as she is so big but it holds her weight (according to Phil and Ted) and she is comfortable and it is better than the wheel chair the hospital offered us!

I want to ride my bicycle... I want to ride my bike.

Today Matilda had to go to the hospital to get her ankle checked out, luckily it was not broken and she was able to have the plaster cast removed. She was so brave as she had it pulled and proded by lots of doctors, we had a long morning waiting to see a fracture specialist, we waited 1 hour and 50 minutes before we even saw anyone, but Tils was happy drawing and playing with her sister and asking the other patients what they had done! The doctor loved her rhinestones on her cast!

When Daddy came home he had a suprise (The kind only Daddy's do when their child has had their plaster cast off for a whole 5 hours and we had agreed Father christmas would be getting her one!) A Bicycle for Tilly!
She was so excited and is so in love with it. It is purple,pink and silver -hideous, But it is the best thing in Tilly world and she is thrilled so that is all that matters. She has her own basket for her shopping but she is a bit concerned about Baby betty! She has only riden it in the kitchen so far for fear of hurting her ankle, but we are sure it will see more action soon.
We had paella for supper and Elsie decided she would rather wear hers than eat it!

The weather has turned!

Today we just chillaxed! Mummy has been designing some fliers for her friend Hannah's beauty salon - I am being repaid in treatments - Yay! So I have spent the last few days helping people with websites, designing fliers, cutting hair, being Mummy and generally very busy! We made some time to take some silly pictures and have fun, we also had some marshmellows toasted on our log burner as it had turned quite cold over the weekend so we had a lovely chilled weekend.
Here are a couple of the fliers Mummy designed, the criteria was Lilac and crisp - Not a usual thing associated with me!
