In life, we all want what’s best for our kids, and will be happy as long as they are happy, whether it be in career, life, family, hobbies whatever…But with our 4 kids growing up and them being three different age groups I ponder to myself when and what do I think their careers will be? can I see it in them now?
This year’s valentines like other things recently is a bit disjointed and slightly delayed, but like every other year it’s just Boo and i at home as we have the kiddies. This means we have focused on what we are going to eat together, this is our only expense as we have decided not to buy presents, cards gifts etc…to save money, ultimately we have a Wedding Anniversary that’s much more important, but we wanted to see what meals we can do at home for it.
As a family some of us are gamers, Boo many moons ago did some gaming, Piglet is still too young, I’ve have gamed for years, Roo has for a little while but in the last couple of years has done more, Tigger though loves games.
Very rarely do 4 of us get a chance to sit down and play games together
We are a family of water babies! Ever since I was little swimming has been one of my favourite things to do. Once I got to a teenager and then adult my chances to swim got less and less, and almost non-existant after I was 21, But having kids allowed me to swim more.
We are big film fans, most weeks we enjoy a family Film night, and Xmas time is no different. We change our weekly film to Xmas films normally in November, however, to be honest even during the day when we often have films in the back round, especially with Piglet. So for us what are our favourite Christmas films?
I love doing Christmas decorations! I love having them all over the house! so for me, this is a great time of year. Much like Halloween, I try to make an effort with the event so I try to plan, reuse, and look for offers in the sales once it Xmas was over.
As a family we have enjoyed Advent Calendars for many years, when Boo and I were first together before the kids we didn’t have them much, just a small chocolate one each, but to be honest it was just a way of having chocolate. Then as we had kids we, started to look more in detail and invest in Advent Calendars, just to add to the fun of Xmas.
November is a busy time for us, not only is the end of Halloween that we put a lot of effort into. Not only do we launch Xmas in our house! but it’s all three children’s birthday! With Tigger and Roo only being 3 days (4 years) apart, if provides complications.
Over the years we haven’t always been big Halloween fans, we haven’t always dressed up, we haven’t always done things like Trick or Treat. Sometimes I’ve been working, or we have been busy, ill or one of the kids have had something on or themselves being ill. I think back and we haven’t always been in that spirit, with Xmas, we are huge fans and go all out, Films, decorations, music, presents generally having fun
Piglet recently started preschool, at her school that she will be attending next year. So she has the school feeling over a separate Nursery. To get her in to there it’s been a battle, Boo has been battling for a long time, not just like a normal situation where you’re competing to get into a school, but seemingly education the school on this system…
