Weekend Fun!

I'll start by apologising for the blurry pix but still wanted to post them as we had such a cool day. Ourselves and another family went to London today for a day at the Natural History Museum! We bundled up all the kids onto the train and off we went. The boys thought the train was fab and sat in a seat together bless them and proceeded to put the trays on the back of the seats up and down....you can imagine how much the people in front of them enjoyed that! Girlies just tried to run up and down the entire time befriending anyone who would look their way, lovely and cute now but not so sure I want them to be that friendly in their teens :-) Below is a pic of the tube on the way to museum. London was great but the amount of steps in the stations was exhausting and we are certainly feeling it our arms tonight, the girlies weigh a tonne along with the pram. We made it to the museum in one piece and all had a blast. We got these explorer back packs that gave the boys clues to look for and the safari hats that you can see below. They did really enjoy these and posed for cute pix below with the polar bear.
We had a really great day going to Covent Garden afterwards and just enjoying a bit of sunshine and great family and friends time.. We ended the day off with pizza in the park and managed to get back on the train and home just before the heavens opened. Thank Goodness.

Saturday was another scorcher and a party day for Bubbs. They had an obstacle course and loads of games and yummy kids party food, don't you just love it and Bubbs came home on a complete sugar high but had such a great time.

Hubby and I had a night out to a friend 40th birthday party with all our church buddies and it was a really great night. Hubby and I thought it would be really good to spend some time together but managed to spend time with everyone else but each other, still we had a lovely time and the party was wonderful.
Friday was American Independence Day and as Hubby is American we went all out and had a bit of a 'do'. We were having a couple of neighbours round for chili and fajitas and while hubby was putting Bubbs to bed I dashed round the house and put up as many American flags and bunting as I could find so when he came downstairs he was really pleased. Bless. We had a great night and our neighbours had all brought American style food, P and J had even baked corn bread for us....that is something we don't have over there so great effort, thanks if you're reading they were yummy. Brilliant night had by all I think so we'll definitely do that again.

Hubby still on holiday so next week is going to be sparse on the blogging front but there will be lots of before and after pix, tomorrow we are doing the girlies bedroom as we went to Ikea again on Friday for beds. We are also going to decorate the conservatory and sort the kids toys out. Tuesday is another induction day for Bubbs at his big school and Wednesday is his birthday....he is getting a bike without stabilisers so you can imagine what we are doing that day..On Thursday we are going to Legoland as his birthday treat with his friend T, we are meeting my sis and BiL and my godparents so going to pray for nice weather that day. When I look at this it makes me want to hide in bed as there seems to be rather a lot to cram into one week but hey ho we'll get as much done as we can....

Speak soon,
