Visit from Uncle Brend-on!

We had a lovely surprise visit from Bren today. He's over from Switzerland for a couple of days on business & managed to get over to visit us for the afternoon. Lottie was very shy with him to start off with, but soon warmed up to him, although she wasn't too sure about the scratchy beard!!


Uncle Brendon bought Lottie (or rather I bought on his behalf!) a cash register for her birthday. We have been playing shops all afternoon - she's hilarious. Will get some video of her & post it so you can all see.


Thanks Bren for coming over today & for the yummy lunch. Lottie managed to polish off a big bowl of pasta, followed by strawberry ice cream (Lottie asked for it herself from the waiter "strawberry ice cream please man").

Then we went to feed the ducks on the canal. After that it was back home for more shop role play!

Lottie's family birthday party

Sat 24th November, the Tucker & Rogers clans + friends descended on Preston Place!

Lottie had a fun time opening all her gorgeous presents. She was thoroughly spoilt by everyone & is loving playing with all her new toys. Thanks to all.

Nanny Bea made a fantastic strawberry shaped cake which was extremely yummy!

Nic enjoyed playing with Lottie's new cleaning trolley!

The kids played pin the tail on the donkey & with the new Elefun game that Auntie Lisa bought Lottie.

NCT Birthday Party

The remaining 3 of the NCT baby group (Lottie, Isaac & Thomas), had their joint birthday party on Sat 17th Nov. They had a bouncy castle & play party at a leisure centre in Aldershot.

Lots of fun was had by all the kids invited & there was lots of yummy party food afterwards!

Another year has flown by, I can't believe they're 3!

Fairies!

Lottie & Nic indulged in a spot of dressing up the other day. They both wanted to be fairies!

They stayed dressed up for about an hour, carrying round little pink handbags with them!

Lottie in boots!!

How cute! Lottie thinks it's funny at the moment ot put on our shoes & tramp around the house in them! She managed to get my long boots on & zip them up as well!

PS - hote cute does she look in her school jumper!!

Fireworks

Lottie finally seems to be getting used to fireworks. She was terrified last year & hated them, so we tried to gently introduce her to them this year. We got some sparklers & had them in the garden for 3 nights. Then watched the big firework displays from the garden & Lottie's room.

She was a little scared still, but liked the pretty colours. Maybe next year we will take her to a display to see how she is...

Autumn trip to the park

Jenn & I took Lottie & Nic to the park to feed the ducks & swans & have a play in the sunny cold.

They had lots of fun chucking whole pieces of bread into the canal for the ducks!

Then they wanted to catch the leaves as they were falling down from the trees - how cute!

Halloween

Another delayed post! So, what have we been up to since I last posted.....

Halloween - we had a kids' party at Jenn & Nic's with some of their friends. Jenn & I decorated the playroom with balloons, pictures & a haunted house picture that the kids stuck shapes onto.

Lottie dressed up as a pussy cat & Nic dressed up as a spider.

We set up some craft tables with play doh & glueing & sticking for the kids to do. They loved it!

Then we headed home for some trick or treating round Preston Place with the other children in the road. Lottie thought it was hilarious knocking on her own front door & saying trick or treat to Daddy!

Afterwards we headed over to a neighbour's for some grub & fireworks in the garden.
