Weekend in London
Dru was jetting off to Amsterdam last Saturday so me and the kids decided to go to London.
We set off Friday evening and dropped Dru off at his mates house in Basingstoke and then headed to my parents house.
We didnt get there until about 10.30pm and the kids were hyper as anything to get there.
After a while we all hit they hay. Max went in my mums bed with her and me and Alfie slept in my sisters bed (she was staying at her boyfriends house).
Saturday morning Max went to my dad's football and me and Alfie went to the shops.
Later on, we went to collect my sister and we all went to my grandparents house.
It was nice to see them as we hadnt seen them since August. They spoilt the kids as usual! Im sure Max and Alfie ate their body weight in sweets/crisps/junk
After spending the day there, we went to collect my dad and me, Nicole, dad, Max and Alfie went out for a meal.
Once back at my parents house, the kids went to bed and i spent the evening with my dad.
My mum was doing the Shine walk (13 miles around London for charity) so she arrived home early hours Sunday morning. She done the walk in 4 hours which she was pleased with.
Sunday, Nicole came back round to my parents and then Chantel popped over too.
It was a nice chilled weekend.
We arrived back in Norwich at about 5pm and had a McDonalds.
The kids loved the weekend and it made it easier to have the family about because the kids were missing Dru.
We're back in London during half term so they are already looking forward to that...

Alfie's third birthday
Alfie woke up on his birthday and was very excited.
We spend the first part of the morning, opening pressies and cards before preparing the house for the party.
Dru's mate Craig came over about Lunch time and the kids were bouncing off the walls with excitement!
We got the kids into their costumes and my mum, sister, nan and grandad arrived.
The kids opened yet more presents before their god mother Mel arrived and you guessed it.. more presents!
Chantel arrived next with Charline's kids Pedro and Julius.
By this point i had put up the decorations, food and got the place ready for the bombardment of children!
The guests started to arrive about 3pm. We had Mia (Belle from Beauty and the Beast), Amy (Tinkerbell), Jessica (Tinkerbell), Ethain (Pirate), Amina (Fairy Princess), Maddison-Kay (Belle), Kerri-anne (Cinderella), J'Dice (Sleeping Beauty), Nikita (Cinderella), Joe, Pedro, Julius, Haydn and Tegan (who didnt dress up).
We had dancing, face painting (done by Nicole and Mia and Amy's Mum), pass the parcel, musical statues and generally had loads of fun!
It was nice for the kids to say goodbye to their friends and i got a chance to say goodbye to mine too!
Max and Alfie had their faces done as tigers and then Alfie rubbed it off and wanted to be a pirate.
We all had a great day!

Alfie's Nursery
Alfie started nursery on Monday.
All weekend he was really excited and on Monday morning he was excited to wear his new uniform.
Me and Dru had to stay for part of the first session to ensure he settled all right so we dropped Max off first and then headed to the nursery.
As soon as we got there, he was in and off playing. They done snack time and he played outside.
The teacher, Rachel, said that we could go and come back at 11.30 so we said goodbye and he started to get a bit upset but i distracted him with a car and off we went.
Came back at 11.30 and he was buzzing about his day.
Tuesday morning, Alfie was excited again until we got to nursery. We said goodbye to him and he started crying
It was horrible leaving him but Rachel said it was best if we just went.
So i dropped Max at school and then popped back to the nursery to check he was ok without him seeing me. Rachel said he was fine.
When i collected him he was telling he that school was hard work. I asked him what he had done and he told me that he had played playdough, cutting and drawing.
He was going on and on about it and how good it was so i thought today might be better.
This morning, as soon as we set foot in the nursery, he burst into tears. Max said goodbye to him and he cried more and when i said goodbye, he REALLY went for it. I gave him Tiger which calmed him a little and then we left. I wanted to cry. I felt awful leaving him.
When i collected him he was hyping about he played with all the girls and how he got a stamp on his hand because he done "good listening and not talking on the carpet".
Fingers crossed for a better day tomorrow. Wish me luck!
