Now I’m working during the daytime (I forgot to update that I now work as a community Development assistant instead of working as a waitress) We’re enjoying the sun after school more than we used to be able to. By the time the boys had finished at school before it was time for me to go work. Tonight we’ve been enjoying the sun and have had a nice trip to Vicars Pond in clipstone and a play on the park. Its nice to be able to do this and enjoy the evenings and then come home have a quick bath and bed.
The boys are enjoying having both Mummy and Daddy in the evenings too instead of Mummy walking out through the door just as Daddy walks in.
Luke’s enjoying his time with his Mummy in the afternoon’s too. He goes to daycare for 2 afternoons a week then the other three are mummy and Luke time. I’ve really noticed a difference in him since Jack has gone to school and they are haivng some time apart. they “seem” to be getting on better. Luke’s coping really well with the longer days and I actually think he’s enjoying going to nursery in the morning then PLA in the afternoon.
Jacks doing well too. After he struggled so much to settle into nursery (He basically screamed every morning for about a year until Luke started nursery with him) I was worried that we would have the same problems at school. He’s been the total opposite! Totally proven me wrong. I’ve had a few o the Mums who help out in school telling me how niely behaved he is in school and how much he makes them smile lol. His imagination is as fertile as ever as you can tell from this post http://nemma.wordpress.com/2010/04/20/theres-a-volcano-erupted-in/
All in allI’m very proud of my little man! although I refuse to admit that they are not so little anymore. Jacks five in June and Luke will be four….. Growing up so fast!
Jacks First year at school.

Is now officially over! We’ve had screaming fits, crying when i left him, Funny stories that he’s told his teachers, major decisions about whether we are going to take monkey or racing ted with us to cuddle and Lots of other things inbetween! Jacks first sports day was last month, then we had a shorts and shades fun day last week to celebrate the end of the year.
Jack has made lots of new friends, three little girls in particular. He has become really close to them and unfortunately we had a few tears on Wednesday when he finally realised that his three bestest friends will be moving up to big girl/boy school in september.
However, He’s been consoled a little bit by the fact that major change number two will be happening too in september….
LUKE STARTS NURSERY!!!!
Wahoo! Five morning’s week to myself! I can go shopping without them whining constantly and arguing, I can clean the house without wasting my time because as soon as I clean something up they get it back out. I can have a HOT cup of coffee! lol.
Basically my time is my own!
So what do I do? Volunteer two mornings a week for sure start lol. I’m quite looking forward to it. I’m going to be going in to help with a group on a Tuesday morning. The other morning is going to be flexible as to what day I’m going to be working. Hopefully I’ll be going into various groups and talking to parents about whats going on in various centres. I’m quite looking forward to it. I’ve been kind of doing this for a while. I’m part of the Parents and Carers Committee already and have been handing out leaflets at school and talking to parents about whats going on, which groups there are etc etc. It’ll be something to get my teeth into, something a bit more challenging than taking orders from people and clearing plates away.
Luke’s really really looking forward to starting at school. He’s been ready for the next stage for months. We had his visit a couple of weeks ago and he loved it! I think its helped that he knows the teachers and room through us dropping Jack off. Its a familiar place and all that. The only sad thing about it is that we wont be going to as many groups at sure start. Virtually since Luke was old enough to crawl we’ve been going to groups up there. the last year or so we’ve been up there at least three times a week! We’ll still be going but only for messy play on a Thursday afternoon.
At least theres the holidays!
Anyway, Now I’ve finished waffling, here’s some of my fave pictures from the last year or so!

We went to the local Sure Start children’s centre yesterday for the over 18 months group.
While we were there I spotted a poster advertising the Pre school group they run on a Monday.
I asked in the office about it, as it’s for 2-3 year olds and I thought it would be a good opportunity for Jack to get used to being left for a little while before he starts nursery in September. It also gives me and Luke a bit of time on our own. They took my details and said that because he’s already over 2.5 that they would try and squeeze him in as soon as possible.
We had a phone-call yesterday afternoon telling me that he starts a week on Monday.
He’s so excited its unbelievable, although he’s convinced that he’s going to the same big boy school as our next door neighbour Brandon, Ive tried to explain that its a different group, but he cant get his head round it.
Hopefully he wont be too disappointed when he gets there and Brandon’s not there!
He’s literally told EVERYONE! Even a random woman waking past the house yesterday as I was trying to get them into the car lol.
Karl was greeted with “Mine goin big boy sooool Daddy!!!!” as soon as he walked in, and he’s told my mum and dad and Vicky over the phone too.
I just cant believe how quickly he’s growing up!
