I Think we are ready.......

for school that is.

Clothes are all labelled and bags are packed. Boys have been showered and will be in bed early ready for first day back tomorrow.

Here is a piccie taken of Harry in 2003 when he wa starting year 1. He looks so diddy and very very cute!!!!!!
Tomorrow he starts his first day at the local middle school and year 5. My goodness how time has flown!!!!
I am more nervous than him I think and he is sooo excited.

George starts year 1 tomorrow with the same teacher Harry had back then. She is a lovely lady and I am really looking forward to his year ahead.

So tomorrow I am on my own for the first time in six and half weeks and that will be really weird. Then again I won't be entirely on my own as I am nipping over to Traci's for a chat and poss some crafting.

Right am going to spend some time with Harry before bedtime xxxx

It's been a few days!

Blimey it has been busy here with one thing or another!

Unfortunately not in a crafting sense but more of a post holiday pre school type of way.

But I think that as of now I can honestly say that we are all labelled and ready for school - hurrah!!! The only thing is I am really not looking forward to the early morning routine - urghhhh!!!!!
Then again they don't actually go back until Wednesday but tomorrow and Tuesday we are having 'practise runs' to get the boys prepared ;)

Today has been fun as George had a few friends over at the bowling alley for a little party. I was actually dreading it but every child was really well behaved and it was fab!!! He is well and truly birthdayed out and WILL be in bed by 7pm tonight.

I on the other hand may be catching up on blog reading and web browsing xxxx

My Birthday Boy!!!!

Well my baby is now five!!!!

Oh my goodness where has the time gone?

He had a fabby time yesterday and he is sooooo pleased to now be the grand old age of five :)

He had a couple of friends over for tea and a play in the garden and of course everyone admired his new set of wheels!!!!!

This little chap has wanted a motorised car for such a long time and so this year we decided to get one for him. His little face was a picture but apparently it does not go fast enough!!! Hmmmm me thinks we have a boy racer on our hands!!!!!!

My poor room!!!!

My craft room is mine. Its a tranquil and creative space just for me in this house of boys.

Hmmm so imagine my shock this morning when Steve informed me that 'a slight leak had occured from the shower and had gone through downstairs'.

Now my room is below the shower. Panic set in - and what was my main concern??? The ceiling, the floors? No way - my first question was 'Are my papers and bears ok?????' Well you have to get your priorites right?????

So my ceiling is looking not pretty but hopefully will dry out soon. And my papers and bears?? they were fine - yes you can all breathe a sigh of relief!!!!

I escaped for a few hours to a craft class run by Traci and we made a Xmas Star Card which is fabby and once I have finished I will take piccie and upload.

I was also given a pressie from Traci which is sooooo lush and girly and will look so at home in my room especially when I have decorated it which will now be sooner rather than later. A piccie will follow and I just want to say THANKYOU TRACI!!!!!!!xxxxxxxx

The pic on tonights post is one I took in Lyme Regis. All along the prom are these street lights and aren't they lovely? According to my son they are Amonite shells - I just loved the design!!!!

Tomorrow will be busy as it is my baby's birthday. He will be the grand old age of five and he just can't wait. My boy is growing up!!!!!

Back home!!!

Well we got back home from our holiday and boy we had a great time!!!

The weather was not great to start with but by the end of the week it was lovely and we all actually caught the sun a little.

This piccie was taken at the start of the week at Portland Bill and boy was it windy and cold there! Infact at the little cafe there we were so cold we ordered hot chocolates - in August!!!!!

We chilled out and there was no dashing here, there and everywhere. But we still went out everyday and did something. We even had a go at crabbing which was something Steve and I enjoyed more than the boys!!!

But on Saturday it was back to earth with a big bang although I have now finally caught up with the washing and ironing and so now feel like I can relax a little. Steve is off this week too which is fab as I think he is planning a few jobs around the house.

We also have George's birthday on Wednesday - my baby will be five! So this week will be lots of fun!!!!!

Tomorrow i am escaping for a couple of hours so that I can take part in Traci's craft class - bliss!!!!

We are off to the seaside!!

Today was my hubbys birthday!!!


Bless him he is now the grand old age of 35 - it is hard to believe that he was 19 when I first met him!!!!!


The picture opposite is the Box of Love I made for him instead of a normal card. I got the idea from Traci who made one for her dad. Steve loved it as it just summed up all that I felt about him without saying alot in words. Thanks for the idea Traci!!!!


The card below is what I made for the boys to give to their dad and again he loved this one too!!!!



We have had a busy day getting ready for our holiday tomorrow but we made sure that Steve was taken out for tea to frankie and Benny's and as usual the food was lovely!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE LOVE YA LOTS XXXXX

So tomorrow is our week long holiday to Weymouth and boy are we looking forward to it. Hopefully I will be able to post during the week but if not I will update you on our comings and goings next weekend!!!!

Have a good week everyone xxxxxxxx

Nearly there!!!

Oh yes not long until Saturday and our week long holiday. I am soooo looking forward to it and so are the boys.
Steve has just got tomorrow at work and then he is off work for over two weeks - yippeeeeee!
I am slightly excited about this can't you tell!

Today has been slightly quieter than yesterday. Harry has been at a friends house since 10.30 this morning and he is still there! So it has just been George and I, which was nice and I have been able to get on with the dreaded housework. Urghhhhh!

I made this card today and the design is a first for me. I have often seen these flowers made out of strips of paper and so I thought I would give it a go. Not bad for a first attempt!

I have got more sorting out tomorrow for hols and a trip to a friends house in the afternoon for tea and a gossip!

Have a great evening xxxx
