This day I love.......

The weekend before our Bluestone holiday my youngest daughter was given the honour of looking after Beat Baby, the nursery mascot.  This was a big responsibility but one which my youngest was really looking forward to.  First one the list of fun with Beat Baby was a picnic with one of my youngest best friend.


The girls and Beat baby had lots of fun, played lots of games and of course enjoyed their picnic.  It was however soon time for dancing lessons.  My eldest had won a moustache in a cracker at school and so insisted on wearing it for the rest of the day.


Beat Baby decided to unwind with a trip to the local paint a pot shop and took a liking to the Dr Who models.  I think Beat Baby has good taste.


Beat Baby had picked a good weekend to visit as we were taking part in the Santa dash, which of course meant that Beat Baby met Father Christmas!


The Santa dash was a 1.5mile circuit which took me over an hour to do, last year I did it in 8 minutes.  Beat Baby even made it into our family photo afterwards.


Our final festive fun with Beat Baby was to make gingerbread biscuits for the girls teachers.


We were rather pleased with our gingerbread baking!  The whole house smelled fantastic too!


This day I love the weekend Beat Baby came to visit

It would appear I have now been bitten by the running bug.  Although I still would say I just walk quickly.  My running friend and I saw a local event organised by Wakefield Hospice and it sounded a lot of fun.  A Santa dash.  

Santa dash had face painting, raffle, hot chocolate, cookies for the kids and of course a visit from the big man himself.  Only he was arriving in style, via helicopter.  This was something I knew the girls would love to see and I also knew that there was enough to keep them occupied whilst I ran the 2.5km lap around the lake, chasing Santa.

My Mum came with us and the girls were very excited, watching the skies for Father Christmas.  It was a very cold morning but the girls were very excited.


They had snowflakes painted on their faces and some very tasty gingerbread cookies whilst they watched the skies for Father Christmas. 


The girls spotted something in the sky so we took a walk to find out


I didn't time the run around the lake but my Mum says I did it in less than 10 minutes.  It was a really good run and one I would love to do again next year.  If you are wondering if I managed to catch Father Christmas.....


This day I love a Santa Dash.
