Over the years the kids have been brought up having a variety of board games, puzzles, family games in the house, often they are learning-based ones, working up to more fun and mess around ones, these have often been bought at Xmas and birthday, or when we have looked for bargains, there also something that the kids tend to look at shops to swat up what they want.
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
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.
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.
Twycross Zoo is a Zoo that focuses on conservation which has a variety of animals indoors and outdoors, and their message carries of conservation follows through the whole place. Its located a the Village of Twycross near Hinkley, Tamworth with Coventry and Birmingham not far.
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…
But I do ponder, how do people make these decisions, as I said earlier Boo and I put thought into it. We look and what they like and get things appropriate, not the cheapest, not random, not last minute or that will do.
As a family of five, we are all very different, this is anything new for many families but for us food out or at home can be very challenging. For me, I have to ultimately change what I want to ensure everyone else is ok as we all have issues.
SEALIFE centres are located all around Britain and we have had the opportunities to visit 6 of them using our annual Merlin passes. The locations we have been are Great Yarmouth, London, Blackpool, Birmingham, Hunstanton and Manchester, they might all be sea life centres but are they very different? is it worth going to more than 1? would the experience be different?
