Book Day!

For reasons best known to themselves, the small's school doesn't celebrate World Book day when the rest of the country does, but does it in October...hmmm.. strange, but who are we to argue!
Without further ado, I give you.. the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland (pity you can't see the tail!)

And Beanie Potter!! I mean, Harry Potter!

All costume pieces models own or from the Sunday car boot sale the day before! Result!

The Feast!

Just a few, as I was too busy trying to make sure I didn't lost a child or have my handbag dipped (can you tell I just lurve fairs...) to take pictures!
Bean on the helterskelter!

Tween on a GHASTLY, scary and downright dangerous looking ride. He spent the whole time turning yellow and looking like he was going to be sick but apparently enjoyed it. I couldnt watch and won't watch next year as I think my life expectancy has been shortened.


Ed in something much more sedate and sensible! Snow Whites house which has a slide hidden in the middle of it!!

Me and Tween on the log flume!! There is something very, very odd about a log flume in the middle of your local park but it was ace!! Made me want to go to Valley Fair again and go on theirs in the Minnesotan sunshine! Not the best of pics as Chef's never used the camera before!

Happy birthday Church!

It was our churches birthday last weekend, cunningly, it was actually on MY birthday!! :)
Here are a few pics of the smalls enjoying the bouncy castle, face painting and the like!

Back to school!!!

It's that wonderful time of year again when small people trot gaily back into their classrooms and Mums flump on to their sofa in exhaustion to contemplate the extra cleaning that needs doing now they've gone back.
Here are the little 2, years 4 and 2 respectively..




And here is the 'Too cool for school' Tweenager
who is no longer a little fish in a big pond,but
more of a medium sized fish now he's a Yr 8.


Tidier hair, but the silly fring remains much to his Father's
dismay..

Off to Silloth go we...

It was that time of year again and off we all toddled up the M6 to Cumbria!! There are a few hundred photos so here are a few, all of which, if you click, will send you to the album containing all of the holiday photos! Enjoy!

BOING!!!

My friend beat me in the 'Buy a naff off trampoline' stakes, so here's Ed and Bean with their friend Hannie Annie bouncing on her new 10ft monster!!! Yes, the pics are a bit funny as they are taken through safety mesh!

Swimming with church! Chilly but fun!

Originally cancelled when the floods hit the Shire our church's outing to the Lido went ahead on Monday, which was actually a boon for us as it meant Daddy could come too!
Here is my waterbeanie!

Ed didn't let anyone else near this float all night!





Tween and a red sausagey floaty thing...


Peekaboo! I see Eddo!

Time to get out..

It's COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very cold and tired!

Mummy got in a photo at last! Ed and I are quite pleased with our 'arms reach' effort!
I was the first Mummy to get in the pool, one of only 2 who were brave enough! But I soon got out!

Snuggled up under the picnic blanket!


Tween is the only one still in the water but his lips are starting to go blue!


Thank God we took a flask of coffee with us!
