The sun really has had his hat on!
What a fab weekend it has been. The boys have loved being outside for most of the weekend and we even squeezed in a trip to the seaside....

Let It Go...

Monday 5th May 2013

Ok Samuel and Freddie, if you ever read this when you are a bit older this post is a bit mushy...

A very proud Mamma just sent me these photos and I have to say the look on your Dad's face when he saw them said it all. You make us so proud, I'm not sure you could ever really know how much we love you both.

Good job Sawyer boys....

And Mamma's money shot...

Today the boys have made us very proud (even more than usual) by being mascots at the Barnsley Vs QPR game.

We have had a wonderful day and the boys loved every minute.

We have lots of photos to sort out but here are a few from my phone for now...

More to follow

The Sawyers go to York!

York holds a special place in my heart as the husband and I enjoyed some lovely romantic trips there when we were 'courting' as my Mamma would say. 

We have put off taking the boys in the past as we thought they were a bit young to enjoy what York has to offer. This weekend however we decided to take them on a Easter mini break to the city...

 We started with a cruise on the river Ouse! Freddie was mostly fascinated by a bag of dolly mixtures!

Here are the boys being their usual boystrous selves while I cling on to Freddie in order to prevent a man overboard situation.

Daddy, Samuel and Christoph (Samuel's new best friend) in front of the Minster

Freddie less excited by the wonder that is the Minster!

The peace and tranquility of the museum gardens, and then.......

      Stick em up tourists! I blame the violence and skeletons of the Jorvic museum. Not sure the       Vikings had guns and pirate swords though? 

  Surrounded by boys.

Samuel's photography skills- good work.

'Freddie cam' - this is how the little man must see the world. Scary.

Admiring the royal trains at he National Railway Museum.

Train spotting with Daddy.

      Mahoosive train, the Chinese Engine.

The Bullet train.

     ALL ABOARD!

A walk on the Wall

A walk down the Shambles 

Sorry for vast amount of photos- lots to choose from! 

York was amazing and we are definitely going to head back again later this year.

If nothing else we must return to the Jorvic to see the thing that created the most interest and excitement with the boys....a preserved Viking poo. Yep, an old turd turned out to be highly amusing. What can I say, boys will be boys (Jon was laughing the most).

We have had lots of fun over the last couple of days. 

I have been trying to find a swimming pool that was suitable for Freddie for quite a while now. Suitable in terms of the temperature! Everywhere we have tried lately has been far too cold and the little dude only lasts ten minutes before his lips start to turn blue!

A friend recommended Victoria leisure centre in Sneinton so we decided to give that a go on Tuesday morning. It was fantastic. The facilities were lovely and clean and family friendly. The small pool was really warm and big enough for Samuel to enjoy but not too big so Freddie felt overwhelmed. They have a little splash pool that is also very warm and has a slide and some little toys which were very popular. I would definitely recommend it.

On Tuesday afternoon we ventured out to the park in West Bridgford (with almost all of the population of Bridgford it seemed) for some fun in the sun

Samuel, Sophie and Daniel took to jumping off a little wall,

Making us very nervous!

An attempt to get a photo of the four of them - me trying to get out of the photo!

Yesterday we spent some time visiting Grandparents and Great Grandparents.

Brooke Farm shop in Linby.

The icing on the Easter egg yesterday was finding out Freddie had won the easter bonnet competition at nursery...

Here he is looking very happy with his prize!
