walk down memory lane

It has been a difficult few days in our house. Things have not gone well and someone who I thought was a friend has proven beyond all doubt that she really isn't. So life is a little tough currently.  I am clinging to the proverb that This Too Shall Pass.  And so far, some of it has.
Meanwhile, on Sunday i was putting something away and came across a box i have full of letters etc from the kids; their Santa letter, easter bunny letters, birthday cards, that sort of thing.  I knew i had it but had forgotten where I put it. I did have a fun time last night going through the box, so I thought I would share it with you and hopefully it may put a smile on your face, or jog your memory about your own kids. so, here goes... (i will not make you sit through it all, I promise!!!!)

Pretty self explanatory from my youngest who had just turned eight. I think he was eating an apple on the trampoline at the time of the losing!!

This was from my eldest son when he was nine; it was for no reason; he just felt the need to make it (awww sweet!!!!)

This is still no.1 son, when he was eight.  Also for no reason.


This one may take some explaning:

It was my first mother's day card; my DH saw it and thought it was funny so that is what i got.  I have to admit; we do love the Far Side cartoons in our house. It was funny, so into the box it went!


This one is a mystery to me. To mum, from Joshua is about all I get from it. We did have fun last night trying to decipher it but to no avail. I do know that Joshua was four, possibly nearly five, when he did it. 

I don't think I could read it at the time he did it so I have no hope now!!! 

I have many of these sorts of things in my box. I hope you have a box too. It is fun to look back at the sweet little things they once were.  Now one is a teenager who is taller than me and the other is a little peewee who looks like never growing!  I am sure he will but as he hasn't found his hormones yet, he is a little thing (and still a sweetie!!!!) I love them both dearly, they are great kids who i am very proud of.
