summer is ending..

The boys & I have had a great time out & about all summer and Sam has started big school which he loves. We spent a week with Granny & Grandad on Anglesey and luckily had some good weather. The boys seemed to have doubled in size and cheekiness....

The Darling Buds of May.

We had a great day yesterday at the Darling Buds of May Classic Car show. I am a big fan of th Darling Buds so it was lovely to see where it was all filmed - what a gorgeous place to bring up children.

next stage

I've just packed up all of my lovely washable nappies as we don't need them anymore :-(

My local Homestart will put them to good use....I'll miss my fluffles.....end of an era....

I've nearly got all Sam's uniform sorted for when he starts big school - I can't believe we're there already. He's had all his taster sessions now and has loved them all...my baby boy is growing up sooo fast.

Busy weekend ahead...

We're all off to Goodwood tomorrow so I can thrash a few classic cars around the track - a present from my darling Hubby....looking forward to the AC Cobra the most.

On Saturday we're off to collect BumbleBee Mini.....going from a bus sized people carrier to a mini should be interesting. It'll be a lot cheaper for a start and we're going for a roof box when we go camping. We've also got all the local fayres inc the Infant School one & we've been invited over to our new neighbours house in the afternoon - there just aren't enough hours this weekend.

On Sunday we're off on our first mini run - meeting up at Winchester and all driving to the Mini Cooper day at Beaulieu......

Birthday Boy!

Toby is 2 today. He got his favourite car from the Roary the Racing Car series - CiCi and was most pleased. Big brother Sam had a lovely day at the Theatre courtesy of the Preschool. Time to go and bake a gooey cake me thinks.....

another milestone...

Sam came into our room last night saying he wanted a pee......then announced that he was no longer going to wear a nappy to bed! My big boy......

We're back on the house hunt again. Hubby found a perfect place right on the edge of the New Forest - lovely garden - huge kitchen - naturally it sold before we even had chance to make an offer.

We definitely need a bigger garden so its all fun and games again....I just want to be settled somewhere before Sam starts school in September. Keep everything crossed.

Feeling blue...

Feeling rather melancholy today after reading Infertil Myrtles latest post....I so know how she feels.. :0(((

I hope with all my heart she gets one of these soon......

What a gorgeous Easter!

We drove up to Anglesey to stay with my parents and had the most perfect weather the whole time. We even managed a day on the beach at Trearddur Bay which was stunning. We also had a lovely day out with Granny at Penrhyn Castle. The boys had their first proper easter egg hunt on the sunday - far too much chocolate was consumed by all..

Gorgeous Sam at the Zoo for his birthday......

So fast...

My big boy is 4 today :0)

We were woken up at silly o'clock so all piled on the bed to open cards & presents. His favourite by far is the motorbike his Granny got for him.

We went to get some new shoes this morning, he's at a friends party with his Dad now and we're all off for a picnic at the zoo tomorrow.

Toby & I have just been stuffing Arctic roll in the garden - talk about 70's retro food...
