This is the kitchen in the morning as I'm getting breakfast for the boys and me; Matthew - Coco Pops, Callum - Rice Krispies and Me - Weetabix and Chloe the cat is content as... Read more →

OK, I'm going to rewind a little, just back to Easter. We spent part of the morning on the beach with Jeff's parents who were staying with us. The boys enjoyed building sandcastles, infact one was Dunluce castle (a ruined castle in Northern Ireland which Matthew has been fascinated by for years) and next to it they built Stonehenge with...

These last few days it has really felt like spring has finally sprung, especially the last three days - blue skies, temperatures in the high teens and no need for coats. Infact, it felt like early summer - if I say it quietly do you think it might stay? As you can see the boys have been springing too and... Read more →

Robot day has arrived and Matthew's C-3PO costume is finished. I managed to finish the costume before Matthew went to bed last night, but not an awful lot more has been achieved on my part. I had so many great plans for this week, like making Valentines Day cards and a mini-book for Jeff (well probably more for me!), getting... Read more →

This house has been Star Wars and robot mad recently. The boys can't get enough of Star Wars. When they're not at school they are either playing with the Lego, building spaceships and/or playing with the Star Wars mini-figures, or watching the films or playing Lego Star Wars on the Wii. Seriously they eat, drink and sleep Star Wars. It... Read more →

As in my scrapbook album Me - The Abridged Version which I started last September. Coincidentally the same time that I discovered Twilight, so it's no wonder I didn't get it finished within the month. It's been put to one side for a while, whilst I got on with other scrapbook projects; Yesterday Today album and my December Daily and... Read more →
