Beach party!

Grandma took the girls to Mass for Good Friday service and then Mummy went shopping and got a fab picnik, The weather was glorious and we spent the afternoon playing on the beach with lots of food!

Matilda got lots of presents but the one she was holding out for was the Nintendo DS she had admired them for some time with Mummy being adamant she was too young..... Mummy gave in and Matilda was thrilled when she received it with a Tinkerbell Game, Auntie Jo then bought her a Kitten and Puppy game too! Grandma and Grandpa got her a gorgeous jewellery box and Nanny pineapple gave her a charm bracelet with one of her special charms on it, Matilda was thrilled and spoilt rotten! Elsie got her a Wheres Wally postcard book which she loved too!

PORTUGAL - On the beach!

Girls building sandcastles on Aljezur beach, we spent a wonderful day on the beach, uncle Charlie was teaching Matilda to surf and we all played and swam.

Mummy, Gary and the girls went to the restaurant over looking the beach and ate fresh mussels and Portuguese custard tarts.

Pirate party on beach

To celebrate the end of term and end of the water/pirate topic, Ms Anscombe organised a after school picnic party on the beach for the reception class and their family, we took a picnic down and had a great afternoon watching Matilda get a pirating certificate from Pirate pete.

Matilda and Elsie both dressed up as Pirates and enjoyed their picnik and some cupcakes.

Update!

We are yet to have a 2010 update so now seems as good a time as any to update! I will also try and fill in the blanks along the way!

I will add pictures from the last 6 months and try and back date some posts as I have been notably rubbish at updating in the last year.

The girls are doing really well and Love living by the sea side, Matilda had a school trip to the beach earlier and Elsie had a singing concert at her nursery, we went to the beach after school and had a picnic.... Mummy forgot that Uncle Charlie and Auntie Kimberly were collecting Tils to take her out for the evening so we had to rush back super fast! Charlie and Kim took Tils to the pier and then had fish and chips on the beach, they bought Matilda home and Charlie carried Matilda to the front door as she was a sleep then placed her on the sofa when he got into the house, Mummy picked her up to put her into bed and she played a trick and jumped up and said 'Boooooo' and made us all jump! The girls are snuggled up in bed now and mummy has just spoken to Nanny Joyce about coming for supper tomorrow.

Sunday in Cornwall

Mummy got up early with the girls today and we went and explored on the beach, it was still dark when we left and there were lots of Bunny rabbits hopping about!
When we left it was quite mild however once the sun had come up it soon turned grey and then began to rain so we ran back to the on site shop where the girls we each allowed to choose a treat, Matilda chose a beaded instrument that you twist and Elsie chose a woven bouncy ball and then we went has a quick play in the park and look around we went back to the caravan and had another massive breakfast and then Mummy, Kimberly and Charlie went surfing, it was so much fun! Grandma and Nanny Joycee took the girsl to the kids club again.
We came back got showered and Charlie and Kimberly packed and then we went in search of fish and chips we found a restaurant and Matilda had Scampi and Elsie had some roast beef. We walked down the road and had the best Cornish Ice Cream! - Elsie had a chupa chup Lolly!
we then went in search of Gifts for Daddy and Ms Anscoombe, we bought them each a bag of fudge made with delicious cornish clotted cream!
we said goodbye to Nanny and Charlie and Kimberly and went back to the caravan to pack up, Mummy and the Girls went and played in the aprk and went to the club house for drinks, Matilda did some colouring and Elsie did some driving!
Then we set off back to Sunny Brighton! We had the best time - Thanks Grandma, Grandad, Nanny Joycee, Charlie and Kimberly! xxx

Beach time!

Today was beautifully sunny we went and had a picnic on the beach and Jessica Ellen and Bella were there, their Mummy had some work to do so we stayed and played on the beach while she went off to do her jobs, the girls climbed on the rocks, tried to do sandy hand sands and dipped their feet in the water. Michelle, (Jess & Ellens Mummy) came back with Ice Lollies for us all Yummy!

Seaside Friends!

Elsie and Henry chillaxin!

Today we met Oliver and Henry for lunch it was great to see them, Matilda had not seen Oliver since her 1st Birthday and they had both grown so much! We had not seen Henry at all, Their is two weeks in age between him and Elsie and he is gorgeous!
We went to Picasso's in the lanes and had Pizza and ice cream, what a treat!
We then went to town as Mummy's wanted to do some Shopping and after we had turned GAP upside down we went to the park opposite uncle Charlie's flat, we played for ages in the sand and Henry and Elsie had a good crawl and climb around in the sand - I think Elsie ate more sand than she played in! We finished the day with another Ice cream - It was a hot day! Mummy and Anna thought it would be a good idea to try and pump up our buggy tyres whilst the children played, only we both ended up with one flat tyre as we could not work out how to do it properly...duh! It was a pain to push the bugs up the slope with a flat!!!

Back to normality!
