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!

The Vikings are coming!
The boys are having a Viking day at school on Saturday for an open house day. They are both really looking forward to it. In preparation for this occasion, Ronan made a really cool viking ship in class. He was so proud to show me his creation. He is definitely more the artist when it comes to talents and he loves to create art. I think we will have to do some more fun with clay. Today was also the boys’ last day at school with one of their classmates. After school they played for a few minutes and got in some last minute hugs.

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.
