The Weekend

We did a few things over the weekend, it was all rather pleasant. On Saturday we went to our old stomping ground in Sheffield. We had a lovely walk through Endcliffe Park and spent a while in the playground. After lunch at an American style burger joint (nothing close to the real thing), we went to the Botanical Gardens for a wander and an ice cream. The kids had a great time chasing each other round a tree - easy to please! Someone was getting married, a perfect setting but it was really warm so they were all spilling out of the 'greenhouse' before they were cooked!

On Sunday Steve made Toby a ramp for his cars, it was a great hit with all of us. Again, easy to please. We spent the rest of the day at Sherwood Forest. Steve has always wanted to see Major Oak - I saw it when I was younger but couldn't remember the occasion particularly well. It was pretty impressive, over 1,150 years old (they think) and rather big. Can't say the kids were too bothered by it, even with a mention of Robin Hood, but they did have a fab time clambering on all the tree trunks. Just thought I'd include this last picture as Steve seems to think it's hilarious. I like to think I'm a fairly observant and conscientious mum but it seems this isn't the case!!

I love that post and that last picture made me laugh out loud! I started cackling and Nathan ran over and said "What's so funny?!"

Toby is like a little man now. The last photo is classic. Made me laugh so hard.

Toby does seem to be an endless source of amusement for us and he is growing up fast! His favourite word at the moment is NO and both he and Beth have Yorkshire accents - another source of amusement. :)
