They're growing up....

This week my Word of the Week is....

 Becky turned 13 yesterday! She is a teenager! Eek! She had a wonderful day even thought she had to go to school....I am planning to write a whole post about it like I did with Ellie! She was happy with all her presents....You can see she is growing up by what she got....There wasn't many toys at all. A lot of books, clothes and beauty products....We did have a party tea last night....You're never too old for a party tea!

Becky has got her wish of getting a Facebook account....Grr! I'm not happy about that but at the moment she only has Stu and I as friends and I am hoping to keep it that way....At the moment she isn't bothered about adding friends she just wants it to play Candy crush and those sort of games and follow people like Stampy & iBallisticsquid who play Minecraft! She knows the rules so I am hoping she will be sensible with it.....

In the space of about 24 hours she seems really grown up....I like it but at the same time I don't like that she is growing up....It's a strange feeling!!

Ellie has had another fantastic week at school.....No bad behavior at all....It turns out she has two teachers....One for most of the week and the deputy head on a Friday.....She is firm but fair and I think Ellie knows that any bad behavior will be reported to her at the end of the week.....She is also known to be a bit of a shouter so any bad behavior gets nipped in the bud before it's really begun....Ellie has really seemed to have grown up since starting back at school.....I couldn't be happier with her!

This week has been a good week....There has been a few little annoyances but nothing that I couldn't deal with....I am so glad it's Friday....It seems to have been a long week! The first full week always is when the girls return to school.....Bring on the weekend. Hopefully we can have a lie in!

  6. I've heard it many a time that little ones grow up very fast. I'm presently unsure of this as my daughter seems to still be in 3-6 month clothing when she's months. Having said that though I do feel life in general is on fast forward with the big C word being mentioned and preparations for it appearing in high street stores already! #wotw
