Spidey and Birdy

The boys had their first exposure on Saturday to the 'parent trap' that is face painting!

Charlie chose a Spiderman look and Theo wanted a bird. From the look of it, Charlie got the better value :-)

We had this done at Howletts Wild Animal Park in Kent. Slightly disappointed at the lack of visible animals but the boys (as always) had fun in the kiddies playground...

Pee Pee, Poo Poo - Charlie No No

The struggle that is potty training Charlie continues. Quite what made us think that twins would be aligned enough to potty train at the same time, I have no idea. Theo has been dry for months having taken no more than 4 days to fully train!

Charlie is slowly getting there but it is definitely on his terms and no one elses. He's getting into a bit of a routine now - needing to be sat on the toilet morning and evening for an 'extended visit'.

Fingers crossed he continues to get the hang of it.

Where's my Balloon?

Whilst we were in Wales last weekend, we frequented a 'well known takeaway restaurant' for lunch.

Like most kids, the boys love a balloon, unless Mummy decides it's a good idea to open the sunroof and let the balloons go....

Bad, bad Mummy....

A Mini Mini Break

We spent just over 24 hours on a 'mini mini' break to Wales last weekend. Clair's family have a farm in Llanelli so, via an overnight stop off at the Celtic Manor, we visited them on Saturday. The boys loved feeding (ie. chasing) the chickens, playing on the tractors and generally harassing any animals within their grasp! Here's some pics. You can see more by clicking here.
