Ryan took the boys to school on a Saturday for the Open House event all about VIKING! The boys were both very excited about this event. They got to make their own shields, eat yummy food, make Viking crafts, watch and cheer on authentic Viking fights, and most importantly: dress up and learn how to fight like a Viking!

Pancake Day!
Today is the official Pancake Day! I did not know about this holiday until this week when I was in Sainsbury’s and saw a ‘Pancake Day’ display with all like items available for purchase. With Ryan and I both having the day free, I met him in Brighton for lunch. Technially this was my breakfast, but we had yummy crepe like pancakes. Later on we met up with his university friend, Krista, and her boyfriend, Nick, for two rounds of Laser tag! This was my first time playing and I was not the best player but it was so much fun! I really want to take the boys to go play. For dinner we had pancakes again so that the boys could take part of this silly holiday. Ryan made homemade pancakes with zucchini and I put nutella and fresh strawberries on mine. It was very declicious!

Park Time
The boys have the week off from school do to half term. I took a holiday from work today to watch the boys so we headed to the park. They had fun playing and then we headed back through the trail for lunch at home.
Maddox loved the yellow gold on the tree; his favourite colour! |
Namaste. |

Valentines Day
10 years ago Ryan and I had our first date at University. We spent the next weekend, Valentines Day, on a trip to Austin, TX with our traveling theatre troupe. I remember catching him looking at me across the table at dinner. Tonight, ten years later, I caught him looking at me with that exact same look. Here’s to another ten Valentines. ♥
For Valentines Day we had aimed to see a castle, but it was not in our cards this year. However we had a really nice time out in the town of Hastings. The boys got to climb rocks and see a beautiful look out, they played at the park, we walked through the town, and we had a wonderful supper at a very old and historical pub. We topped off the night with a stop in an authentic old sweet shop.
