The big party!

We survived the manic 5th birthday party without too many headaches. The boys had a great time although a bit tired & grouchy this evening. We managed a few hours in the garden this afternoon which was lovely. Nice to smell freshly cut grass again. We definitely need somewhere with a larger garden though.

the earth's atmosphere has a lot to answer for....

.....the state of Sam's space shuttle cake for one. I'm just hoping it's still in one piece for the party tomorrow.

Birthday treats...

We went to legoland on Sunday with Harvey's family. Everyone had a great time. I was really surprised how much Sam liked the roller coasters. Toby got a bit upset though as he wasn't tall enough for a lot of the rides. This Sunday is Sam, Harvey & Zach's joint 5th birthday party. We've hired the village hall, (for which I am now the booking secretary) , and there are 40 4-5 year old's coming - chaos will ensue!

This 'n' that

The boys and Daddy treated me to a lovely mothers day - I got some lovely cards, gorgeous earrings and we all went to Petworth Park and relished in the unseasonably warm sunny weather. A perfect day!

Sam had a strange dream last night. He was crying out for his Dad and when he went in he asked for him to rescue one of his teddies off the ceiling. When Dad mentioned the bear was in bed with him he just said "oh he must have flown back down" and went back to sleep. Talk about bear out of body experiences....

baking...

Sam has made some Blueberry muffins...and they really are yummy.

He was in tears after school today. He wanted to go to the after school animal club but it seems all the places have gone :-( Must be a waiting list as his was the third form handed in. Maybe next time.

Daddy has a new motorbike which the boys were keen to get on.
