This morning we went off to the cinema to see Madagascar: Escape to Africa. It was Sam's first time at the cinema and when we first walked in he said 'wow', we managed nearly an hour of the film but then left but not because of Sam, he loved it but Daisy found the film too scary. I did think they had over done it on the fighting in the film.
We then met Nanny Maureen for a Burger King lunch before heading home to chill out for the afternoon and also catch up on housework.
No pics today folks!

First day of half term
This morning we hung out at home and then went and met Daddy at lunch time to go swimming at the leisure centre across the road from where he works. Daisy is doing really well with her swimming and is now happy to put her head completely under the water and loves jumping in. I took Sam swimming for the first time in ages a few weeks ago and he was not keen at first although tday it was like a different boy, wanting to jump in and splashing loads. We have put them both down for swimming lessons but there is a waiting list so hopefully they will start soon.
After that we picked up a dolls house that I bid for and won on Ebay, it is from the Early learning centre and is in great condition so we are keeping it for one of Daisy's birthday presents and we will get her some furniture too. Got it at a great price, real bargin! We then stopped off at Hobby Craft as I am making the order of service for Angela's wedding so had to shop for supplys. On the way home both the little people were fast asleep!
No pics as not allowed to take them in the pool!

We went for a stroll in Stanmer Park this afternoon with Uncle Murphy and Aunty Jo and then stopped off at their house for tea and mountains of chocolate and cake!

Saturday 14th Feb - Sam, Daisy and I walked to the shops late in the afternoon to get the final supplies for our valentine's suppa and also to get a dvd. Sam did a great job walking all the way there and back and not running off, although I think it did help that he had his buggy with Bob the Builder in!
Friday 13th Feb - Daisy had to go to school today with mad hair!

We love parcels
Well two exciting things happened today...
The first was we received a parcel from our friend Jane in America (a belated Christmas present) which was a lovely surprise. Daisy and Sam were very excited even more so after they had opened them as Daisy got a new dressing up outfit and Sam got a new remote control Thomas, Nanny Maureen got a cardigan and I got some wine glass charms and some butter knives. So a huge THANK YOU to Jane for the lovely presents.
The second exciting thing was Daisy and Sam's 2nd cousins came to tea this afternoon, Tilly and Elsie, they have recently moved back to Brighton so it is nice to see them often. They had a great time playing and lots of biscuits and chocolates was consumer.
The down side of today was I got soaked and I dont mean a little wet, I got so wet that I had to change my clothes. It was only a five minute walk from Daisy's school to the car park but boy did it rain!
Sammy boy is talking so much now, unfortunately since his haircut Daddy has taught him 'Skinnnn Headddd' which I am not too impressed with. He also keeps saying 'Oh my god' - which is actually quite funny but dont encourage it. He also says 'What we doing now' 'I like this song' 'my hands are cold' 'I am hungary' 'I am tired' - we are very proud of him and hopefully with his talking coming on he won't have to go back to the speech therapist.

Relaxing weekend
This weekend was pretty chilled out. Daisy had dancing on Saturday and then a party afterwards so Daddy, Sam and I headed into town for a few hours.
Sunday morning we relaxed at home before going for a long walk along the seafront and then came home and made some fairy cakes for the school cake sale tomorrow and also finished off Daisy's alien mask that she made for her space project at school. Sammy boy and Daddy got a haircut with our new clippers - there's a credit crunch we cannot afford the barbers!

Daddy and Sam on the swings
It was a beautiful but cold day
Daisy's alien mask that she made all by herself (other than me cutting it out), she painted it, put the glitter on and then stuck it all together. It was very handy that she got a green mask in her party bag on Saturday - that is what is behind the green mask and keeping it on her head.
The fairy cakes that she made and decorated - Aunty Dawn, our Daisy is a dab hand with the icing encase you need any help, unlike me who mainly eats most of it!
For some reason this afternoon, Sam spent most of it with no clothes on - his choice!
Before the hair cut and very happy
After the hair cut and just caught a sight of himself in the mirror, not so sure... it was Daddy's idea to go that short! The lines either side of his head are natural, I did not shave them in!

A lot happens in a week!
What an exciting few days. Firstly Sam and I collected Daddy from the airport. It was a complete surprise for him as he thought he had to get the bus home from Heathrow which normally takes at least two and a half hours but he called when he landed and I lied and told him I was in the supermarket and you could tell the disappointment in his voice so he was very pleased that when he came through arrivals there was Sammy boy and me waiting for him.
Daddy picked Daisy up from school and she was very excited to see her Daddy, it was then family dinner, cuddles, story time and all the Parker's went to sleep at 7pm other than me as I went out for drinks with the girls (well I knew Tim would be jet lagged).
Thursday was busy as I had an event so the little people had a great time as not only was Daddy home but Nanny Anne and Grandad picked them up from school/playgroup and then Nanny Maureen had a sleep over to help out Tim in the morning.
The weekend was spent chilling, Daisy went to dance school on Saturday morning and then had a nice reat of lunch with Nanny Maureen, Uncle David, Aunty Dawn, Mia and Bob at one of her favourite restaurants. Sunday Daisy then went to the cinema with cousin Cala and we all had a nice roast dinner in the afternoon when they got back.
Monday, well see photos below, the first one is what we woke up too. School was closed and Daddy could not get to work...
