Catch up time!

We have a an enormously busy time recently...I can't even really remember what I last posted about. My mum and dad arrived here on Tuesday as mum had a docs appt the next day (all was fine) and below is just the cutest picture of my mum and Moodle.....so gorgeous they both are. The children just love having them stay and we are having a wonderful time apart from poor mum getting a horrible sore throat and chest and the girlies teething...whenever they come and stay one or some of the children always seem to be ill. Thursday was spent with mum and I going to town and dad taking Bubbs to the park on his 2 wheel bike where he was just amazed at how well Bubbs rode....he even went on the skate park with the bike as it was empty.....this is Bubbs fav place in the park....the weather started off amazing but soon started pouring down and mum and I did get soaked. Friday was spent getting Bubbs school uniform, shoes and sports kit bag! Oh my goodness, it is really weird to think that in a couple of weeks an era will end.....no longer will I have my 3 children at home with me all day having to find stuff to do with them, whinging about not having enough time to do any house work or laundry. Bubbs will be at school!!!!!!!! Luckily, he is excited as I am rather nervous, because it has just hit me that if he doesn't like it I can't take him out he is on this path of life for a while now!
On Friday afternoon our guests arrived, J and E drove down from Stoke.....J is my mums cousins son and Jim Jams godfather and E is his gorgeous girlfriend. We don't see them often enough as they live quite far away but whenever they come we always have such a good time. They are both amazing with the children E especially and it is lovely to have helpful hands in the house....she is a natural. E has also just graduated from Uni and starts a 'proper' job in sept so we had a bit of a toast for her on fri eve with some guitar hero.....can you believe the 2 of them......(v early 20s) had never played GH before .....shocking, J got quite into it in the end......below is a pic of E this morning doing her morning chore....tee hee ,reading to the girlies....'Emma read pease....' how could she say no! and below that is J, strumming on the GH!

When you get to read this guys, thanks so much for a wonderful weekend! You are both so welcome anytime we always have a great time.

On another note, we ran out on our children, J, E and my dad this morning to go look at cars...we have an enormous renault Espace, which is great but just about to go up massively on the tax and is costing us rather alot to run....so we have been thinking alot about changing to something smaller and more cost efficient...we found a great 0% finance deal on a Scenic so are just waiting to hear whether we qualify or not.....Lets hope so as our insurance will be so much cheaper so will fuel consumption.

Mum feeling a little better tonight and will hopefully get some sleep, hopefully we will too I was up 5x last night with the girlies.....we are owed one peaceful night surely.

Next week is going to be just as busy, as soon as mum and dad go Caro and her family arrive from Guernsey for 5 days as they are getting their daughter baptised at their old local church and we are proud god parents. So I probably won't blog much but will fill you in next week.

Have a great week one and all and see you soon
