Clever Boy

Last weekend we were down at Selsey and Jonny was playing in his friend Jack's garden. I looked out of the window and low and behold he had got on Jacks old bike with no stabilisers and rode right across the garden - wow what a clever boy. Of course I didn't have my camera so I took these when we got back up to home. So proud of you Jonny. Yup he is wearing Rhea's riding hat couldn't find his bike helmet.

Happy Birthday Jonny

My baby was 4 on 12 September - among his presents was a log trailer and logs - he loved it and insisted on playing with it in his gooney before breakfast. He had a pirate party with his friends. Happy Birthday Jonny - I can't believe you are 4 now.

Back To School

All dressed up and finally back to school in September - so cute.

Lego Land

We had a lovely day out at Lego Land two days before the end of the summer holidays. We went with Edward and Charlie Cain and their Mummy and Aunty Val came to take Rhea on the big rides. I don't do roller coasters. I did brave it on the log flume - quite scary.

A New Kind of Pump

A brand new type of pump for blowing up your boat.

Take two children
Hold under the armpits or by hands
Lift up and down on foot pump
Voila
All pumped up

Gizmo

Gizmo my elderly cat takes it upon herself to sleep in funny places - a couple of weeks ago the fruit basket took a hit. Big cat little basket - oh well she was happy.

My Cute Boy

Just love these pictures of my lovely boy.

Just Add Water

My new toy for the new house - I treated myself to a sea going sit on kayak - it is such great fun - I chose the one with space for the fishing rod. I have since added a sail to the front of the kayak so I can tack in and out on the wind (that's a sailing term tee hee). I got it back in the summer - slight problem though - when I went to buy it I paid for it and then realised it wouldn't fit into the car - so what to do - no way was I going to line Mr Porsche's pockets with gold for a roof rack - luckily the man at the shop sent me down the road to buy some wood. He kindly strapped the wood and kayak on the roof. The kids thought it was great fun to be able to see it on top of the car from inside - promised the kids we would go out to lunch - much to their pleasure we had to go to McDonalds drive thru - yuk - no way was I going to park and leave my new toy on the roof.

It's a Boy Thing

I'm upstairs and hear Jonny shouting from downstairs

"Mummy, Mummy I'm stuck"

I rush to where the shouting is coming from - no sign of Jonny - then I see the bolster pillow wiggle on the floor - Yup you've guessed it Jonny had taken the pillow out of the cover then zipped himself inside the cover - but he couldn't undo it.

Well boys will be boys.

Our Summer

Just a few pictures of our summer, various of the kids surfing, fishing. This all took place on the beach (we call it our beach) in front of the house - its a long walk to the beach 10 - 15 seconds at most. Lucky us.

If You are a Mum - Watch This

You've got to watch this - what more can I say.

I'm Back

Well, I am finally back. Sorry to have not posted but life has been very hectic. 10 weeks summer holidays with the kids - great time despite the weather spent alot of time down at our new house on the beach - will post some pictures later. Last part of the holiday not great for me - done my back in - they think I have popped a disc - so I am staggering around like an old lady. Anyway - drugged up and having acupuncture so hoping that will help.

Will put up some photos to sum up the last couple of months and I will try and be a good blogger and get back into it.
