Nicola wins a prize

At school this term, year 3 are studying ancient Egypt and yesterday they had to go dressed as explorers.

Nicola and her friend Megan won first place and got a prize.

Its a book about Egypt with puzzles and games :)

I stopped mid blog to get a cup of tea and came back to find Josie trying to help, she's actually very good on the computer. I can't believe she's growing up so fast.

Talking of growing up, Danica can now climb onto the sofa and likes to sit like a big girl with the others.

Danni clapping hands when I asked her for a smile!

Danni asking to be picked up.

Anyone know how to stop my girlies growing up so fast?

Park and Lego!

What happens when Daddy's left alone with the lego?

He builds an archway acround the living room doorway :)

Nicola built a castle before bed and Coco decided it was a good place to sleep!

But she wasn't impressed with having her photo taken.



In the afternoon we went to the park and as usual Danica loved the swings.

Nicola doing her favourite thing.....posing!

Nicola and Josie.

Josie about to go down the slide.

I managed to catch her on the way down.

When we got back Daddy said the girls could break up his lego, I think they were pretty excited about it?!

It was an enormous build and had to be held up with tape.

Timber.

Daddy had to help with the last bit :)

Crash and it was gone.

 

Bank Holiday Monday at Granny and Grandpas

Today we took the girls to Leamington to see Granny and Grandpa.

A lovely cuddle for Granny.

Daddy and Grandpa having a chat.

Danni wanted to see what Granny was doing for lunch!

Mummy rescuing her little hudini!

Nicola decided she wanted to take photos of the Xmas decs,so heres the train.....

......the snow scene.....

.....the cute little Springer Spaniel..... 

.....the nativity.....

..... and the Christmas tree with the ice rink underneath.

Then it was time to eat :)

Then Granny played some board games with Nicola and Josie.

Danni rubbing her ear coz she was tired.

Danica playing peeboo!

Josie's face when I told her it was time to go home :(



Josie wearing Granny's hat, scarf and gloves, what a cutie.

A trip to the park

Sunday afternoon we braved the cold and went to the park.

Josie pushing Danica, it was soo cold!

Nicola posing as usual, I can't believe she took her coat off!

I just about managed to get all 3 in one picture :)

A very inquisitive Danni, who has knees covered in mud!

Peeboo Mum.

Nanny came and joined us at the park and gave Josie a lap ride.....

.....and then Danni a ride :)

Josie always finds time to refuel.

After an hour in the park it was time to go home and warm up, Danni decided Daddy was the best thing to warm up :)

It was a tiring afternoon, so time for a nap.



Shoes

3 cute pairs of shoes for 3 cute little girlies.

I always like to get the girls different shoes and clothes, to encourage them to be the 3 different little people they are but they only had the pink ones in Danica's size and Josie had already fallen in love with the same ones! Little Danni is now a 4.5, Jojo is a 7 and Nikki is a 12.5. I am convinced poor little Jojo is going to be overtaken in size by Danni some time soon, still the best things come in small packages :)

Happy New Year everyone xxxxx



My (not so) little Nikki's 8th Birthday

I can't believe my gorgeous Nikki is 8!

On the 27th December 2010 my gorgeous Nicola turned 8.

When Nicola woke up, the tree was down and there was balloons everywhere!

She couldn't wait to get started on the pressies, she's liked Bratz since she was 3!

She got some new clothes from her cousin Vikki and just had to wear them.

Then it was back to the presents.

She was happy to get more games for the DS Santa brought.

I love the look of surprise in this picture.

" I wonder whats in here ?"

"wow this ones big"

I think we can safely say she was pleased with the Bratz ice rink!

After breakfast it was off to Nanny and Grandads for more presents :)
She saw what was first as it wasn't wrapped !

A gorgeous pink tutu, I'm so jealous!

Then she got the last rooms furniture to complete her and Josie's dolls house, that you can see in the background.

She was really happy.

I couldn't resist a picture of the 2 little ones looking cute together.

When we got home Josie disappeared after being told off and I thought she was playing......

......but on closer inspection I found she was actually asleep!

After lunch we had lots of visitors.

Who brought Christmas and Birthday presents.

This would have been a lovely picture of Danni if it wasn't for the biscuit dribble!

Nicola's friend Megan came to say Happy Birthday.
Nicola loves pulling silly faces.

Big Niki (who she's named after) and her partner Frank.

Then time for cake no2 (she had one at her party remember)!

She chose Sponge Bob Square Pants :)

Josie jogged my arm as I was taking a photo of Nicola blowing out the candles, so this was the picture!

She was happy she blew all the candles out in one go.

Then Uncle Mikey and Aunty Debby arrived with more Christmas and Birthday presents!

Daddy was pleased with the cool car presents he got, but asked where they had parked his new Ferrari!

I think Danni was thinking not more presents!

The girls are so lucky, I think they got given half a toy shop!

Nicola never gets bored of being given presents :)

Daddy thought it would be funny to put balloons up his top!

He did the same thing for Nikki's 4th Birthday when we went to Mike and Debs, some things never change!

Mikey joined in that time :)

The girls cousin Ryan came to visit, but Danni wasn't impressed !

Josie got a Thomas The Tank train set (she's my little boy in disguise!).

It took 3 adults to put together!

Daddy and Mikey decided it would be fun to pop balloons, but Nicola didn't like the noise.

How these 5 balloons didn't pop, I don't know?

Nicola and Daddy dancing.

Aunty Debby having a cuddle :)

Thank you to all our friends and family that made Nicola's 8th Birthday so special.
She was spoilt rotten with lots of expensive and grown up presents :)

I can't believe she's 8 !
