Half Term Fun

We were very ready for half term after a busy couple of months of the school routine. It's been a fun-filled week with a few mini adventures thrown in...



We visited the Eureka national children's museum in Halifax and it was space week!

Astronaut Samuel and his space buddy Daniel

I love you bigger than the moooooooon selfie!

Seriously chuffed little man getting to wear a space helmet.

Knowledge is power. We learned lots of new space facts

It was quite worrying that the boys were better than their parents at matching the planets to the surfaces

Freddie in his element...a child sized play M&S shop. Endless fun.

Melon anyone?

That'll be £5,000 apparently.

Rogue Traders

Would you trust this man to fix your roof?

These boys are slightly more professional, but less safety conscious...where are the hats boys?

Go to North Yorkshire, experience a hurricane. Done. 

Postman Freddie

Not sure how I got the boy out of the massive play kitchen, complete with washing machine!

Picnic time. They may be smiling but it's bloomin freezing! Also, yes that is the biggest picnic ever.

The boy loves a picnic.

Just filling up and checking the brakes before the journey home.

That is my friend videoing the boys driving the car and not just some random odd bod.

Daniel takes after his Daddy and loves the cars!

Not sure what to say.

Nope, still got nothing.

Now it's just getting a little strange.

Aliens in underpants day.

We decided to bring this alien home with us.

Who knew a huge nose could be so fascinating.

Yep, they love the nose. Especially when it sneezed on them.

After Eureka we visited Nanan and Grandad and celebrated the "Old Lady's" birthday. Freddie's words not mine.

Half term wouldn't be complete without this little lady. Cheese!

I'm camera shy...honest.

Bootiful Sienna.



Zachary thought Auntie Aimee was a crazy lady and kept running away.

Boys stuff

Don't take your eye off the ball brother, or the child.

Favourite pastime, football under Mamma and Grandpops' carport.

Good times.

Agghhh ger off Mamma!

Action shot!

Yesterday we held the Tinies and Toddlers playgroup fundraising cake sale!

 

 

Like last year, all money raised was for Heart Link children's charity based at Glenfield Hospital

 

 

 

 

There were some seriously delicious cakes!

 

 

 

And some crazy people blowing up balloons

 

 

Even Freddie's 'Nenna' joined in the party

 

Thanks to the lovely ladies that volunteer at the group and all of the generous people who attend it was a big success!

 

Whoo hoo!

 

 

This gorgeous, cheeky boy enjoyed himself.

Massive thanks to everyone who helped raise £221.36 for Heart Link

January is a very long month and the Sawyer's are definitely looking forward to a bit of spring sunshine. It will be so nice to be able to play on the garden again and for it to be lighter in the evenings.

We had a lovely walk along Trent Embankment at the weekend and despite the freezing temperatures the first signs of spring were evident...

The first daffodil I have seen had to make it on the blog! I think the boys thought I was a bit crazy at this point. 

Sunshine selfie!

A go on the swings was a must.

Samuel's shadow photo-bombed this picture of Daddy...and picked his nose!

Samuel is much braver than me.

Good times.

I love this photo of Trent Bridge.

Happy January everyone....counting down the days till spring!
