Ireland

Just wanted to share the lovely sunset we had every night from our cottage.

Good night.xx

NITS...

My poor little baby has got NITS!!!! I was very surprised when the girls from nursery told me he has nits. They have found two nits alive in the afternoon and we found one when I was there!!! So I got him home, got him in the bath and brushed his hair with the special comb for nits!!! He has got lots of eggs too!!! Poor little angel....But there is no way that I am going to cut his hair. He is too cute with his long hair and his little curls!!

It was very hard to keep him still to put the lotion in his hair. After a bath in the morning, all the nits should have disappeared! I will have to repeat the treatment in a week! I hope that Adam will not get them too!

Poorly...

Jake has not been very well again. He always seems to catch everything which goes round at nursery! So I had to stay at home the last couple of days.

Last night, I sorted out my photos from Ireland which I will post very soon. Here are some photos of Jake on holidays, he is so cute!

It is water!!

Mad About CROCS!

When we were in Ireland with our friends, I noticed we all had a pair of crocs apart Jake because his feet are not big enough yet!!!

Here is the proof....

Happy Birthday Sue!!!

Today, it is my friend Sue's birthday. I decided to scrap a card for her. I have tried to use pink as she loves pink! Hope she likes it!

Happy Birthday!!

Ireland

Got to finish packing the car!!!
See You.xxx

G4 Farewell Tour

On Monday, I went to see G4 in concert in Ipswich for the opening night of their Farewell Tour. I had such a FAB time!!!

I went with my friend Kerry and we meet all her friends there! They are all so nice!

With Kerry, we had some meet and greet tickets so we saw the boys before the concert. I got them to sign my program and got a photo!!!

During the concert, they walk around in the audience. Mike shooked my hand and he hugged Kerry!!! (Cow!!!)

We saw them at the end as they came to the gate to talk to people. I even managed to get a kiss from John! They are such lovely guys!!!

I am so glad I went to see them as I had not realised how good they are!!!

The Pirates House...

...is coming on so well!!! Martin is building a house in the garden for the children and it is looking very good! Adam and Jake are so excited. They already play in it. Jake loves the tools and loves helping dad!!! He takes his tools and hides them in the garden!!!

On Sunday night, Adam, Oliver and Phoebe played in the Pirates House and had their tea in their. It was great for us as it kept them so quiet!!!!

When it is finish, I will have the job to paint it!!!

We will have to have a flag too!!!

Clever Dad!!!

Artbase Crop....

Yesterday it rained, rained and rained even more.....but I had a great day with my friend Sue as we went to the Artbase crop!!! There is nothing better to do than scrapbooking on a rainy day.

We got there after 10am and after a little wonder round the shop, we made an "All about me" envelope album. The kit is from BoBunny. It was lovely to be able to make the all album.

At lunch, we went back to the shop to get a few things. I got a lovely board book which I am going to use to make a Halloween book. Every year, we host a party for Halloween and I make a costume for Adam and his friend Ollie. So I am going to make a book about all the costume. I will be able to add pages every year.

When I got home last night, Adam wanted to scrapbook so we sorted out all my papers. Adam did a layout using a photo of him and Jake and I did the front cover of my book.

I was so pleased!!!

What a great day!!! And Sue and I were very good eating nuts and yummy dates rather than chocolate!!!!

Unfortunately I will be away for the next crop. It is a shame as the kit looks great...it is a little book in a shape of a handbag...every women's dream!!!! Will have to go in July!!!

Been Tagged....

I have been tagged by Toni....
Sorry no time to do it today but will try to do it shortly!!!!

Happy Birthday!!!!

Today Adam and Oliver had their birthday party! It has been a busy day! they had so much fun that it was worst it!!!
They wanted a pirates of the Caribbean's party. They looked great in their costume.
We rented the Plantation Hall and had an entertainer. He was so good. We had 30children but it did not feel like it as they behaved so well!!

Jake loved being able to run around. He sat down at the middle of the group listening to the entertainer like the big boys and girls...he was so sweet!
All the children having their lunch...

Even Jake sat down for lunch but he ended up on the floor after 10 minutes!!!
What a great photo of the boys blowing their candles at the same time...

Happy 6th Birthday!!!!

Make a wish...

As soon as the candles were blown, they started playing with the cake as always. They were so happy!

We spend all day with Steve and Louise and the children...opening the present, having a yummy Indian take away and lots of wine!!!

Birthday Cake

Today, I have been very busy making the cake for the boys 'party on Sunday. As they are having a Pirated of the Caribbeans' party, I have decided to make them a cake with a treasure map.

They loved it, they wanted to eat the chocolate gold coins straight away!!!

Happy Easter....

Easter Sunday...Great! Let's eat ;lots of chocolates!!!! It is exactly what my little monsters did today! What did they have for breakfast...Easter eggs! Jake could not believe his luck when he was given a very big egg!
We always spend the day with Steve and Louise so the children can have an Easter egg hunt in the garden. We went round theirs and we had a great day. Adam, Ollie and Phoebe loved their hunts...they looked so sweet walking round the garden. They must be getting old as they manage to see the eggs this year.
Jake was asleep while we had the hunt, so in the afternoon, while the boys were at a birthday party, Jake and Phoebe had an Easter egg hunt together. Jake loved it. As soon as he found the first chocolate he gave up and starting eating it!!!!




What a wonderful day we had!!! So many happy memories!!!

How Cute...

Sleep over...

The boys had a great time last night. They played in the street with their scooter for a couple of hours, then they had some tea. Jake loved being out with the big boys!!!
They watched TV until about 10:30pm. Adam felt asleep first, then I did!!!(Hoops!!!!). Then Charlie did and Ollie was the last one.
Jake enjoyed waking up the boys in the morning...

Sunny Days...

The weather has been so lovely today. We were all in the garden very busy tiding up after the winter. Daddy was cutting the grass while Adam and Jake were cleaning the rabbit hutch. Our little rabbit called "Spud" after Bob the Builder died last winter. We have a good clean up in his hutch as it would be nice to get a new one new year. Jake seems to be fascinated by animals. He loves watching the birds and cats.
The boys were so funny tiding up as Jake kept trying to close the hutch with Adam in it!!!
How lovely to have a family day in the garden!!

Tonight Adam is having a sleep over. Charlie and Oliver are coming to stay the night...how exciting!!! We have decided to let them sleep in the front room so we can set them up to watch TV and hopefully they will go to sleep!!!! I have bought them Flushed Away to watch.

Good luck to me!!!!

Poor Little Nose...

Last night, we went round Steve and Louise for our first BBQ of the year. We had a lovely time. Jake loved the garden, he loves walking around exploring!!!

The kids had so much fun in Phoebe's playhouse. Jake adored it!!

Water Cans are so much fun!

Poor little Jake fall out of the little house...He fall flat on his nose...and this morning he has got a big scab on his nose..Poor Little man!

A bit of Fashion....

Second disaster....

Richard hurt his leg at football last night. He could not walk so Martin took him to A&E to get check....He has broken his leg!!!
Can not believe we have got two injuries in the family in 3 days!!!
WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!!!

OUCHHHHH....

At about 16:30, I got a phone call from the nursery....I thought Jake was not very well as he was coughing! Jake was fine, it was about Adam. He had fallen over and opened his head badly!!!I was so shocked that I felt like crying. Adam was tidying up all the toys before his tea time when he tripped over a small toy. He had cut his head on the edge of the table. Adam needed to go to hospital to have his head stitched up.
Martin had been away to Gratham and was on his way back. I told the nursery that it would take me about 30minutes to get back. They wanted to send Adam to hospital quickly as he had been bleeding a lot. So I called Richard, his big brother, who took him to A&E in Chelmsford with Kelly from the nursery.
I went to the nursery to pick up Jake.By then Martin told me he would be back in time to collect Jake from nursery. They were all so upset about Adam and told me his cut was quite bad.
It took me a long hour to get to A&E, the traffic was so bad and I got lost as I did not know where it was!!
When Adam saw me, he started crying...I could not believed how deep his cut was, you could see his skull. He had to have 3 stitches inside and 5 outside. He did not cried when the doctor was doing it, he was so brave. I was so proud of my brave little boy!!!
It was the first time that one of the boys hurt himself...I did not realised how much it was going to "hurt" me.
Adam is looking like a real pirate now!
