Camping

 A few weekends ago some parents from Elias' school arranged a family camping weekend. We set our tents up on a field belonging to someones house. It was an amazing location with a perfect view of the Long Man. We were very lucky with the weather and it was a really nice weekend.

 

 

 

A few Mondays ago

..we had a lovely afternoon. The kids were cykling along the beach, we then had dinner (pizza) on the beach, took the scenic route home and came across a bunch of people paragliding. I think we all really enjoyed it!

6 years (+1 month)

I thought I should post some pictures from Elias' brithday and his party. Better late than never huh!?

 

It was actually sunny on his birthday(!). He got a little pressie and a goodie for breakfast but we saved the rest of the presents until after school. Then the Hills came round for dinner and cake.

A few weeks ago before his birthday we went bowling after school and since then Elias was determined to have a bowling party. He had invited 6 friends and they had a game of bowling, food and cake. 2 hours of craziness and then it was over. Phew

Sister visit

Angelika and Felicia was here just before Elias' birthday and we had a few really great days together. Luckily they also brought the sun with them from Sweden..

On Saturday we walked to Berwick for a pub lunch. A quite long walk but the kids did great and we were all rewarded with a lovely lunch when we got there.  

On Sunday we went to Seven Sister's country park for a picknick with the Hills-family. It was sunny and low tide so the kids decided it would be a good idea to have a splash about..

The gap

On Friday Elias' wobbly tooth finally came out. Or not out actually since he accidentally swallowed it while eating an ice cream...

English weather

Alice seems to have realized that the weather can change quickly so it's best to be ready for anything!!

Bruise, day 3

And now he's gone a bit loopy too.. 😉

Not pretty

Yesterday Elias fell during a break at school and now he has a nasty nasty bruise on his cheek. His shin also got a bad knock so he's feeling quite miserable. I don't blame him, it looks awful!

Rainy day activities

We've baked some (experimental) cookies and when they've cooled off we'll tuck in! While waiting Alice drew a picture of her mummy. Don't I look pretty!?

Hallelujah

After 5 days of high temperature and no appetite it seems like our little girl is finally back to pretty normal. She is still covered in spots and has a bit of a temperature, but now at lunch is the first time she's eaten properly. She downed a bacon sarnie, had crisps, tea and some chocolate and chatted non stop meanwhile. Welcome back Alice!!

The blog is alive!

Hi again! After a few very hectic months we are now settled in (a bit) here in Alfriston so I will try to keep this blog updated a bit better. We have a separate blog for the shop if you want to see what's happening there: www.peppa-k.com

So, what's happened? Elias has started school

 And Alice has gotten chickenpox. She is completely covered in spots the poor thing and very miserable. She also refuses medicines which doesn't make things easier. Yesterday when the rest of us had dinner she had a nap sitting up in the sofa, bless her.
