Easter 2008

Goodness me but I've fallen behind again so prepare yourselves for a mammoth post....

My last post was on Mothering Sunday so what have been been up to since then...


The kids got a new double swing which Nanna & I put together on the 9th (with a tiny little bit of a helping hand from the boys). The kids love it and I got it for an absolute bargain price so everyone is happy!





Then on the 18th Amy had one of her school friends, Beth, over to play after school and the kids had a great time mucking about and dressing up. Ben insisted on joining in so I just had to take this photo to use for leverage when he is 18!!








On the 21st it was Amy's school assembly and Steve went. They were doing Pinocchio and Amy was a fish - a talking fish mind. Apparently she delivered her line perfectly!



So onto this Easter - what have we been upto this long weekend...





Good Friday
We travelled to see Granny & Grandad in their caravan which was parked near Ipswich this year.


The weather was very cold and windy so we decided to go the Ipswich Transport Museum. The kids really enjoyed it and they both seemed very eager to climb into the back of a police car there which was slightly disconcerting!



Saturday 22nd
A fairly normal Saturday really nothing too out of the ordinary here.


Easter Sunday
My Parents & the Nans came over for the day (Ally was already here as she is staying for a bit) and we had a lovely roast Lamb lunch which Amy cooked.







Earlier in the day the kids had great fun out in the back garden playing in the snow!










Easter Monday
Our original plans for the day were changed and the weather was atrocious so what do you do - you go shopping in Ikea that's what! Amy seemed reluctant at first but seemed to enjoyed the kids department at least!

So that's us back up to speed. We're off on a mega holiday at the end of the month so will have lots and lots to post when we get back.

Mothers Day 2008

So what did we all get up to this Mothering Sunday...


I for one had a great day. It started out beautifully with a lovely lie-in and then a nice cooked breakfast. I opened my cards and presents and then we played about in the house until it was time to go to lunch.

We all went to the Alma and we weren't too sure what it would be like anymore because it had changed ownership and the head chef had departed too but it was a lovely meal - as always.


The kids, though full of beans, behaved themselves very well and then we all went back to Nana's for coffee afterwards.

So Thanks to Steve and the kids for making it such an enjoyable day

Celebrities R Us

We've had a great day today....

For Valentine's Day I brought Steve a Wembley Stadium Tour and it was booked for today so we all headed off to London.

I said I would entertain the kids whilst he went to Wembley so we decided to go to Madame Tussaud's. I wasn't sure whether the kids were a bit too young for it but they thoroughly enjoyed themselves - as did I.

We saw loads of famous "people" and the kids had a great time having their photo's taken with them. The kids even found a new Daddy!! (only joking).

Steve was full of news about his Wembley Tour and had a good time too.
