My camping hell....!

Doesn't look too bad here does it..? This was probably the only five minutes when the sun actually came out and it finally stopped raining. Wasn't exactly my dream weekend break but we did have some good laughs and I think I would do it again......maybe!

Happy Fathers Day Dad!

I am such a lucky girl to have a daddy like you - you are a lovely, kind, loving and gentle man and I am lucky enough to have you as my dad. I miss you lots but will see you very soon. Speak to you later - love and hugs xxxx

Hurrah - it's the weekend..!

Joe and Izzy are only very happy that it's the weekend and there's no school for a couple of days. They are also going to sleep overr at Aunty Helen's tomorrow night while Ellie May gets to sleep at Nanny and Grandad's so this weekend involves a very late night and lots of junk to eat. We are also very excited to get rid of the kids so we are having a load of people round for a big dinner party tomorrow night where we can make as much noise as we want and stay up really late cos we can both lie in on Sunday morning.

Joe finally got his Silver Merit Award!

Well he has finally done it - he has got his Silver Merit Award Certificate. He's very pleased with himself and rightly so and I am very proud of him. He works hard most of the time although whether he will continue to do so is another matter entirely. There are only five weeks left of term and he has realised there is no way he can get the ultimate Gold Award so doesn't think there is any point in pushing himself anymore. Fair point I guess and shows some kind of intellectual reasoning to have come to that conclusion and deserves an award in itself!

Shall I cut my hair....?

This is the burning question at the moment - do I chop it all off like I usually do about now when growing my hair, or do I persevere and try and get that flowing mane of curls that I've been wanting for as long as I can remember. To cut or not to cut, that is the question. Does the hair go - you decide....?

Joe went on a very Tudor school trip...!

Joe went on his school trip to Sulgrave Manor today as part of his Tudor project at school. He had to take a Tudor packed lunch - basically a miserable lunch wrapped in a piece of muslin. He seemed to enjoy it though which is the main thing and out of his spending money he chose to buy Izzy and Ellie a present each which I thought was the sweetest thing. Maybe he does love his little sisters after all - he's just doing a very good job of hiding it!

What a nice weekend...

It's been glorious this weekend so we had loads of time to spend in the garden enjoying our new decking. Here are my three little cherubs playing chefs on the deck with a bowl, a wooden spoon and some shredded pieces of a cardboard box. Who needs a Playstation when you have got cardboard..?
