We took the kids Happy Meal and got 3rd out of 3! we were a bit miffed to be honest as we were in a line and the judges came to the first people and gave them 1st Prize, then the next people got 2nd and we got 3rd! so maybe if we has arrived first it would have been us! Not that's its all about winning, the kids have been enjoying taking park in the parades, which has amazed me as Lytham is a really long parade and Fred walked most of the way, he was waving and smiling at people and people were clapping for him, he was lapping up the attention. Molly on the other hand had her head down ignoring people, though she changed her mind when i reminded her of her wish to ge Gala Princess one day, that had her waving, nobody wants a miserable Princess!
We found this picture on a website a few days later
and what are we all looking at....
He was "lovin it" really
They have there crowning back at Lytham Hall, which is really nice.
Here are a few pics from the day, we have found loads on fb as well and Alex was in the Gazette as well on Monday
Lytham Club Day, is a loveley very traditional gala, they have a lot of support from the churches, but all in all Lytham is just that kind of place and looking through there brochure there gala costs £25000, compared to ours at £5000! but they do pay there volunteers for gala day.
During the last couple of weeks while we have had some really good weather, including a bit of a heat wave these last few days, i have mainly been outside with the boys during the day and in the evenings and been feeling very summery at last
Fred and i podded peas, which he loved and kept him occupied for ages
and he enjoyed the fresh Pea & mint soup we made with them
I watched the kids sports day, which if i am really honest i am not keen on, at there school they do everything in groups and they don't have all the different races, just running race, which Ewan gave up on half way through and insisted he had hurt himself (i have video proof that it just gave up!), they just do activity and then move on the the next, but the kids liked me watching it and at least it was a nice day
The element on my cooker went weeks ago and i have been using my halogen cooker, that was a bargain from Aldi at £9.99, its great and i think even once my element arrives i will still use this, i have been trying lost of new summer recipes i found on the internet.
Just love this pic, Alex is such a cool dude
Tried some summery sprakly cocktails
and me and Molly painted our nails in a glittery rainbow!
We love doing girly stuff together.
My brother gave us a new paddling pool, that they didn't use anymore, as its easier for little Ali to get in and out of rather than the large round one. Its great just sat out reading and knitting and watching them
I forgot to turn the tap off one day and it overflowed and they both enjoyed the muddy puddle it caused than the pool!
We have done lots really the last few weeks, i don't write about everything as it would take years but i love doing my blog these days with small snap shots of our lives and its been nice to read back last years posts and remember things, so although i started this blog mainly as a place to share my crafts, technically the kids are our makings as well.
Today i think i will have a break from knitting and have a bash at a small make, but what?
