Catch up from the last few months

we have done a few things together as a family since i was last able to post. one of the things we did was to visit legoland Windsor towards the end of the September, just before it started turning cold. we went with Michael mother and his little brother Jacques, it was a pleasant day out Thomas walked most of the time and spent the rest of it on Micheal's shoulders as you can see from the picture.

Ellen slept for almost all of the trip, only waking up to ask for food and the occasional nappy change. we went on a number of rides and it was even warm enough for Thomas to play in the fountains, though he was shivering towards the end of it! we bought Thomas a soft Lego man, and Michael got a really nice keyring that had both Ellen and Thomas' names carved into it. Jacques got to go on the car racing ride he wanted to go on, and i went down the water flumes with him.

We stayed until the park closed, and we did the famous buildings made out of Lego at the end when the kids had crashed out in the buggy. They were most impressive, and the funny thing was they had characters from batman on the roofs, it was so funny they looked like the fathers for justice crowd!

We also had fireworks night. That was nice, we went to my mums and set off a small box of fireworks and had some sparklers. here's a picture of tom and his daddy drawing their names with the sparklers. doesn't he look happy?

of course we had Christmas after that, the pictures i will add when i get time to get them off my phone. i will fill you in all the details tomorrow hopefully, but right now I'm shattered and need to head off to bed.

night all xx
