Reasons to be happy

 

My reasons to be happy

It's beginning to look a lot like spring! Waking up to sunshine is fantastic and walking through my garden of baby daffodils each day always puts a smile on my face. Sunshine is an instant mood lifter and I can already smell the BBQ's.

 

We had a lovely weekend at Drayton Manor and the weather didn't disappoint either. It was great to have a family day out at a theme park now that Mini Mes are a little older as they go on all the scary rides too - woohoo!

 

 

 

My weight loss continues and I'm not craving junk food at all as yet. I'm focused and completely in the right mind set to do this. My goal weight doesn't seem so far away!

 

We have a weekend in Blackpool ahead. It may be a little challenging with my diet but I can't wait to have fun at the pleasure beach, see my family, have a meal and drinks out to celebrate my birthday.

Kids know best... apparently. Plus vampires

Storm Force. The awesome water ride at Drayton Manor with 3 drops, including 1 backwards, will get you wet. Jamster however didn't appreciate this fact assuming it would only be a little splash and he wanted us all to go on it Sunday afternoon. He called us chickens and wandered about clucking so eventually we followed his instruction and went on, despite not being keen on the idea of getting drenched before we wanted to head to the zoo area!

He got off lightly but Minxy and I, sat behind him, were completely soaked through to our underwear and our trainers squelched for the remainder of the day.  However, he wasn't very pleased with drenched jeans, wet arms and a soggy back at all - maybe mum knows best after all!

...Notice his funny facial experience? Jamster is fully aware that as his top two teeth have recently fallen out he looks a little bit like a vampire! He is taking full advantage of this by posing in all of his photos with his mouth slightly open and hissing at people...

He would give Dracula a run for his money!

Have your little ones learnt the hard way?

My reasons to be happy

The Easter break fast approaches and I can't wait to spend a fortnight with the Mini Mes. Both of their birthdays are during this break so I'm looking forward to celebrating with them being at home rather than school! We have lots planned including a trip to Torquay with friends, a few cinema visits and days out at the zoo.

The school Easter fete is being held today and Minxy has offered to work on her stall, selling ice cream! She is always keen to help others and is very kind in that way which makes me a rather proud mummy. Hopefully we can win some eggs on the raffle while we are there!

We are going to Drayton Manor at the weekend and I'm really looking forward to a day out as a family. I'm hoping the weather improves a little though as it seems bitterly cold out there again but hopefully it will be a nice way to enjoy the Mr's birthday (yep, 3 family birthdays in the space of 14 days eek).
