Finishing the year with another double post – illness made me lose the plot a bit and I just totally forgot to do my week 51 post. I did take the photos though – even on the days where I had a temperature of 40 degrees and spent more time hallucinating than anything else! Today…… Continue reading 365 Project 2014, Weeks 51 & 52
Arthur went to a birthday party today and his party bag was full of pirate goodies so the theme for the afternoon was very much treasure and pirate ships! It was Arthur’s turn to find the right book in the Advent Book Calendar box tonight. It’s a great way for him to practise his numbers…… Continue reading 365 Project 2014, Week 50
First up – last week just got away from me and I never found the time to sit down and do my 365 post so this week is a double. Secondly, part way through numbering my pictures I realised that somewhere during the year I have skipped forward a few days because by the way…… Continue reading 365 Project 2014, Week 47 & 48
Today we took our Operation Christmas Child boxes to the tiny Methodist chapel in Ellerdine to add them to the collection ready to send off. There are almost 200 boxes there from churches in our local area – that’s an awful lot of love in a box going out to some less well off children…… Continue reading 365 Project 2014, Week 47
‘Twas Caius’ birthday today and there was a moustache theme going on – even his cakes had them 😉 Caius had the day off today and we took advantage of the child-free time whilst the kids were at school to just relax and have some grown up time. (I won at bowling but he trounced…… Continue reading 365 Project 2014, Week 46
The last of the concrete went down today and we all left our mark in it 🙂 I’m not sure why, but Arthur was in a general rage today so I broke out the hair brush which always calms him down. I spent over an hour brushing his hair whilst he played with his cars…… Continue reading 365 Project 2014, Week 45
My brother and his wife are moving house so I helped my mum babysit my niece and nephew for the day so they were out of the way of all the carpet fitting and boxes! I took lots of photos and particularly like this selfie of me and Evaleena 🙂 First day of half term…… Continue reading 365 Project 2014, Week 44
When I washed the kids hair this evening I noticed that Tori and Artie’s hair is almost the same length when wet! Pretty much the highlight of my Monday every week is pom-poms… Crazy weather today – like this one minute, torrential downpour the next, battering winds in between. Very peculiar. Walking home from school…… Continue reading 365 Project 2014, Week 43
Today my parents, sister and I travelled to Leeds to attend the final ever service at Meanwood Methodist Church which has been our family church for many years. Weddings, christenings, funerals, Sunday School, Scouts, Brownies – all sorts of things. Friendship and family, love, fun, worship, memories beyond measure. It’s slightly strange attending a funeral…… Continue reading 365 Project 2014, Week 42
My sister and brother-in-law were up in Shropshire this weekend with their lovely dog Kew. Tori & Arthur are both a bit nervous around dogs usually so it was great to see them confidently making friends with Kew. We went for a lovely family walk around Colemere and at one point poor Kew had three…… Continue reading 365 Project 2014, Week 41
