Parties and boating!



Grandpa has his new boat so we got to take a ride last weekend. Oliver was excited to go on but was a little nervous when we actually got on board. However, it didn't take him long to get used to it and he was soon walking around the boat and having a go at steering! Emily did not like her lifevest one little bit but, again, once she was on the boat she absolutely loved it!! Even I didn't mind it - much better than a jetski ;)

Oliver went to a birthday party for one of his school friends last weekend and had a lot of fun. She had a bouncy castle and a pinata so you can guess what the requests are for his birthday..... All I can say is the release of Cars 2 is perfect timing because he is Lightning McQueen mad and therefore not difficult to buy for! He is also a big fan of Olivia and I got a video of him reading his library book (well, he's memorised it!).

I think the last time I blogged the temperature here reached 103F. It was pretty crazy! Since then it's been pretty changeable and we are in for a rainy few days now. Where is summer??!!

This week Emily will be 15 months and gets to go in for her MMR shot and maybe some others. She is doing well and can now say Daddy and Bye bye pretty clearly. She's still a shy little thing though and will hang on to my legs and hide behind me if she's unsure of something or someone. I just laugh at her!!! Such a sympathetic mum ;)

OK, I'm waffling! Not much news this time - sorry!

Wiped out - but holding on tight to the snacks!

Oliver likes it too :)

And Emily has a Nemo one!! She cried for a little while when we first put it on.

But that all changed and he even had a go at driving!
