We have not had access to our computer for nearly 3 weeks so I have had to borrow other peoples laptops to get these photos on, Iam sorry it has taken so long and I do have alot more photographs but I do not want to upload too many to other peoples computers!!! I will upload more as soon as our new cable arrives - which should be today!!!

Rugrats!

We went to Rugrats and halfpints today with Milly and Ellie from School, It was raining so it was great to have a nice long play! We were shattered when we got home - Matilda sat down to watch beebies whilst Mummy prepared sups and fell asleep!
We had a creative concoction of bolognaise sauce with macaroni pasta - Was not as bad as it sounded although we didnt have any passatta so we had to use yukky tinned tomatoes...eurghh! Mummy really needs to go shopping! - but keeps putting it off as we are here there and everywhere at the moment! We only have a couple of days until we are back in Brighton so we can probably wait until we get back to do a proper shop...Iam not sure what to cook in the mean time...something creative and delicious!!!
We could not get any photos in the play centre as they do not allow cameras..so its a boring post today!

Lazy sunday afternoon!

Our one year old having a nap!

Today was a lazy day! We had a delicious roast dinner! Daddy and Beau worked all day in the rain to build the Pergola in the garden! It looks so good!
We dug up some of our veggies and ate them with some roast pork...it had the best crackling ever!...I need to stop taking pictures of our food!
The veggies from our garden!

Daddy and Beau........ 'An action shot!'

Happy Birthday Elsie!

Happy Birthday

(Elsie enjoyed her dairy free chocolate cookies!)
Today we celebrated with Elsie, we got up early and went to Banbury (Lucky Elsie!) It rained and was miserable but we had fun! Mummy went to waitrose to get some bits for cakes (and dairy free biscuits!) and Beau came and collected her from the shops, then we had some lunch, Elsie had a sleep and Mummy and Tils made her biscuits and a birthday cake!

Daddy and Beau got on with building the Pergola in our garden.
We went down to Bumble bees and met Ellie and Miasie and Olivia and Penny, it was so much fun and had a little cake each!

We came home and had a play, Then it was time for Granny and Pops to come round, we had some cake and Bubbles!

When Granny and Pops went home Emma came in and we all had a Indian takeaway...delish!
Mummy, Daddy, Emma and Beau played wii until the early hours!

A day at home

A day at home! We were meant to be going to the park for a picnic today but the weather was yukky so we stayed in and Ellie and Maisie came to play, we played at home for a while then walked to the park just before lunch, It was nice having Ellie to play and she is staying the night tomorrow! What a treat!

We are back!

I have been rubbish as per usual!
However I do have some photies of the girls to look at from our hols!
We spent a wonderful week in Praia Da Luz it was so hot and the girls had a fabulous time! Jessica and Donna were amazing hosts and we loved the area, we got to see dolphins and crocodiles at Zoo marine and had lots of fun shopping in lagos. It was great having Jess with us as a babysitter she was really good at looking after the girls to give me a break! We ate really well (or badly....) and spent a lot of time in and around the pool...a perfect holiday all round!

Mad Hatters!

On Thursday we went over to Mad Hatters in Bicester, It was great fun and we got to see Til's friends from school, she was a bit thrown at first, seeing them all out of context but she had a ball and Elsie loved all the attention too!
