Day 90: Chocolate! - I never usually get an Easter egg all to myself but hubby surprised me with this massive Dairy Milk one. Happy Easter to me.
Day 91: My boys - We went to my in-laws for lunch and an Easter egg hunt which the boys thoroughly enjoyed. This is after they'd found (and eaten) their chocolate.
Day 92: More chocolate - there's just too much of it in the house. I finished off this bag of mini eggs as I figured that the sooner it was eaten the better. The problem is there's still lots more to eat. Well, if I must.....
Day 93: LEGO - my oldest son has started following the instructions to build LEGO vehicles. He's really good at it and follows the instructions perfectly. He obviously takes after me.
Day 94: Shower - almost a year after ripping our old shower out we finally have a brand new one. It's amazing.
Day 95: Painting rocks - we had a bit of a craft day today. The older boys did their homework ready to go back to school next week and then we painted some rocks and anything else the boys could get their hands on. It was great fun.
Day 96: Pampering - I went on a spa day to my local hotel and had an eye treatment and a manicure. It was bliss to sit there in peace, have a lovely lunch with a glass or two of wine, and a chat. I feel very chilled out now. Maybe I should do it more often.
The summer holidays are here, and whilst your little ones
may be super excited about being off school especially during London 2012, this
long break poses a problem for parents - so, how can you keep your whole family
entertained? To help you we've come up with our top five things to do during
the Summer Holidays - with the Olympic Games in mind....
1) Explore the
great outdoors? Even if it is just the local park!
Taking your kids to a park is one of the easiest things
you can do and not only is it free, there are plenty of things to do there to
keep your kids entertained. You can rent bikes, go on a horse ride, play sport
and even have a picnic!
2) Get their
creative juices flowing with some culture!
Again, lots of museums are free entry and are fun and
educational for the whole family. There are many fun activities you can do with
your children when you are there, for example if you are at an art gallery why
not get the kids to have a go at a masterpiece themselves!
3) Turn your
little swimmers into champions!
Get your children into the spirit of the Olympics by
challenging them to a swimming competition. Not only is this great exercise for
the kids but splashing around is also fun for parents too!
4) Award gold
medals with your own Olympic bakeoff!
Why not bake cakes for any Olympic parties you might be
having? Turn the baking into a competition and award gold medals to the most
outstanding effort!
5) Take your
children to Cadbury House
It's all about Cadbury House at Hyde Park, which will be
running 27th July to 12th August where children will be able to take part in
the ultimate chocolate experience from experiencing the 'Chocolatrium' to
participating in the Great Games Hall in loads of fun Olympic themed games.
It's the perfect place to keep children busy during the summer holidays and
Olympics.
Running from the 27th July to 12th August, Cadbury House
at Hyde Park is part of the BT London Live experience throughout the London
2012 Olympic Games. Your children will enter through a walkway into a tasting
zone to experience Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate, before continuing into the
?Chocolatrium? to take part in Cadbury experiences for Twirl, Creme Egg, Wispa,
Freddo and Cadbury Dairy Milk, before moving into the Great Games Hall to try
out a series of Olympic themed games and stand on a podium to be awarded a
Cadbury chocolate medal. It is the perfect place to take your kids during the
Olympics, and a place for you to enjoy some chocolate yourselves! Check out our
video to see it being made:
