Always the last to see it!!

I have been kind of amazed lately just how much bigger jasper looks when we go places,it's kind of a shock when you realise their not babies anymore as it FEELS so gradual when your there day-to-day,y'know?.It was the same realization today when we went back to warnbro playgroup and I watched him with all his other big-kid friends,but it's quite exciting aswell,to see him growing into this lovely and gorgeous boy...his smile just seems to captivate everyone.
It was abit of a dodgy start to playgroup this morning as we got caught in a mini downpour running from the car into the building,but luckily(somehow)both kids stayed bone-dry,and only mummy got soaked to the skin!?,and ruby had chocolate all over her face,"GREAT"...it was bribery chocolate as it was the only way to silence her tears before we got to playgroup.SO,wet and chocolate-faced we headed inside.The kids had a good time,and it was great to catch up with a couple of buddies of mine.

Gym play class

Well,the kids needed to get out of the house and so this morning we checked out the gym play class,up at the ymca.It was very busy but the kids were very excited and had an action packed morning of play.Jas loved the toy trucks,cars,blocks and things,he also joined in on dancing but there was just too much going on for him to stick at anyone thing.Ruby had fun playing with the balls,climbing and generally running around.After gym they all moved into the craft section and ruby loved playing with the playdough.After a snack and juice they each decorated a paper fish.
A fun morning and good value for money too.
