Busy Sunday (well as Sundays go)

Normally on a Sunday we don't do anything, just stay in the house and veg and the kids get bored. Well this week we decided against that.

We started by going to the local carvery for an absolutely gorgeous Sunday dinner followed by a drive to Yeadon Tarn to walk off the food mountain we'd just eaten.

As is the done thing at the Tarn, we threw food at the ducks. My effort to be environmentally (or is that ecologically?) friendly, we threw waterbird food rather than stale bread, the ducks and swans etc, seemed to prefer. We got a lot more takers than those throwing bread anyway, ner, ner, ner, ner, ner.

I promised my cousin Caroline that I'd post recent photos of everyone and that was a couple of months ago so apologies to you Caroline, here are some pictures from this afternoon. Can't get more recent than that

Adam and I can never decide whether we should walk first then play or play then walk. The result of that decision usually determines what mood Theo is in (and consequently us too) on the journey home. If he's got too much energy left when it's time to go home we usually have a paddy!

We decided on the walk first, give his lunch chance to settle before he sloshes it around on the roundabout . It seemed to work cause everyone was in a good mood on the drive home.

Here's Adam and the boys playing on the swings

Decisions decisions

I have decided. The reason this blog is so out of date is that the idea of catching up is so daunting. So I'm not going to.

I will try and get around to posting more camping pictures for those of you that are interested but apart from that I'll just try and keep this thing updated going forwards.

Farm Park

I know it's a bit later than promised but here are some pictures from our camping trip to Cayton Bay in July / August this year.

We started with a trip out to the local far park where we could feed the animals..

play on a tractor...

and in the sand

Adam and Louis kept each other entertained whilst Theo was playing :D

There were lots of animals to see and Theo really anjoyed running around and feeding the animals and identifying them

In brief

Well I haven't actually gotten around to posting any holiday photos yet. I haven't even updated for just day to day goings on, which is unusual for me 'cause I usually rabbit on about allsorts of inane rubbish.

Here's an in brief, and I will be back with photos soon, I promise.

Louis has another tooth, the other top front one and he's doing a very good impression of some sort of army sniper the way he scoots around the floor on his tummy.

Theo started nursery 2 and a half days per week (thanks to Nursery Education Fund vouchers) and moved up to the big room, he's a Happy Apple now

Adam is working hard to earn us lots of pennies as usual.

I've been having fun playing at being a Virgin. I've had a few parties which I've really enjoyed doing and I've made my minimum sales so now it's entirely up to me whether I keep going or not and I get to keep my kit whatever. I'm definitely carrying on though Right, off to drum up some more business and get some more party bookings. I'll be back soon with more updates and photos, promise.

Tooth Tooth

Yeah, Louis first tooth finally came through today, it's the top right (his right).

It's been threatening for a couple of weeks and he's been having some discomfort with it but it's through, only a tiny little bit so far but that's a start. Only 19 more to go (I think).
