9 years...

My eldest is 9 now, Nine!! seems such an old age. next year he'll be in double figures, which is a scary thought, then he'll be fast approaching the dreaded teenage years, crazy!

Anyway back in January when he turned 9, I put this montage together :)

4 years...

It was my littlest birthday the other day, and he is now 4 years old, seems like the past 4 years have passed so very quickly, but then in the same way it seems like hes been here forever.
It does seem a little crazy that I now am 'mum' to a 9 year old, 7 year old and 4 year old.. seems like they are all so grown up now, well and truly out of the nappy stage, all proper little people with their own views and opinions, which is certainly intresting!

Anyway we had a small tea party just the family, and a BBq with granny and grandad the next day, it was lovely, Mikey desperately wanted Lego Ninjago for his present (which may have been influenced by his older brother!) and I also got him some lego hero factory sets, and he was very impressed with them all, lego certainly never fails to entertain and they have such good variety of toys there is something for everyone! I do like the hero factory toys they clip together easily and offer a variety of play opportunities, they can all be mixed up to creat new heros or stick to the book so to speak, the main draw I think to lego toys is the fact they come apart, my boys seem to love to engage in games and battles between there toys ultimately having a winner and all the others seperated into several pieces where through the battle they have lost there limbs one at a time!



I even went all out and tried to make stripy jelly not the most difficult of tasks but it certainly pleased my three, coupled with sandwiches, cakes and balloons what more do you need for a party!
