Half Term Break

School's out for a week, it's half term. I can't work this week to take care of the kids. Nothing much to do at home so we decided to visit a small farm park in Epsom. About 7 miles from our house, it's suppose to be 30 minutes drive but it took us almost an hour to get there. As ususal we got lost again finding our way but they had a great time. The park is very much the same as the one we've been beforw except that this oune is a lot smaller and nearer. There were different animals and I manage to take a photograph of Enzo milking a cardboard cow. (see photo) It was a bit cold that day but they didn't mind it at all. Most of their time they spent in the sand pit and the playground. Pau loved the slide though he usually doesn't like slides this one he had lots of fun. He even climb the small moountainlike mound to go up the slide. Enzo liked playing in the sandpit evenmore. There were toy trucks and he pretended he is a construction worker driving those dump trucks all areound the sandpit. At around 3 p.m we leftsince there's nothing more to do. I have no problem telling them that it is tme to go home, I gubess they had had enough of the place too. Just before we left for home Enzo remembered to buy a souvenier from the shop, he always want something from the places we go. ...Last night, Girlie managed to pull the milk tooth from Enzo's mouth. We've been trying to pull it out before but he keep shouting we are killing him. He cried of course but we told him that if he put it under his pillow a tooth fairy might give him some money. He wished for a pence form his tooth. While he was asleep Girlie put £1.50 under his pillow. He's was so happy this morning finding that he got money from that tooth fairy thathe was asking me how much money if a molar was left under his pillow. We have nothing planned today but if the sun shines this afternoon it's of to the park again. Next week it's back to school again and their next break will be the Easter break. Back soon....

Nine

How quickly time passes by, my son Pau is already nine years old. I wonder if in a couple of years he will be taller than me. He's already 4' 4 1/2". He has improved a lot talking more at home but not much at school yet. They had a small party at school for his birthday and here he's blowing the candles on his cake. Girlie bought chicken nugget at McDonalds for them to share unfortunately he ate them all. I think he had a great time at school today. We also had our small salo-salo here at home that evening. I cooked pancit canton for long life and bought a chocolate cake. When it was time for him to blow the candle Enzo got excited and blows it first that's why in the picture you can see Pau pushing Enzo. It's half term week and today Pau is in Mencap, it's an afterschool club for children with special needs, so Enzo and I can go to high street and have some bonding of our own. He attends Mencap once a month and it is funded by the Sutton Trust for Children. For the rest of the photos of his birthday go to fotopic.
