Sunday morning sat in bed with a cup of tea, in my yarndale mug ( it has to be my yarndale mug!). This has become a big part of my weekend routine, just spending a bit of time relaxing, working on a crochet or knitting project, reading blogger. It's so nice to just be for a while, now the kids are not baby's they are happy to have downstairs to themselves and get on the Xbox for a while. The mornings have been very sunny recently as well, which is always a bonus and i love sitting and looking out on to the fields.
I like it early in the morning when its still quiet and the fields are empty, its very peaceful.
Although this sounds like we have very chilled weekends, this Sunday morning calm, is possibly the only chilled bit, weekends are usually very busy, its cramming all the house work and washing into two days and we can do around 10 loads of washing in a weekend! Thank god we bought a tumble dryer months ago, washing in washing out, that's our weekends.
Yesterday i sorted out all the clothes, 3 bin bags full for the charity shop, one full of jumpers to store in the loft for winter and a bag for the bin. In fact yesterday was a very productive day, i got lots done so today we are off to Marsh Mill for Superhero day.
There are not many weekend where we don't have at least one thing in the diary, a few weeks ago was a Coffee Morning at the Conservative Club, i baked my usual Strawberry and Cream Cake.
We took the kids to this one and they got to draw the raffle
As the weekends are getting sunnier, i decided i needed to get outside more, as i feel i never seem to get outside with working in an office all day, so when the matches have finished we pop over to the field, take a blanket and some crafts
We had a visit from Pritti Patel MP, who was the guest speaker at one of our coffee morning, we decided to bacon rolls and i volunteered to make the bacon beforehand so had to get up super early to cook it all which took about 2 hours, but it was another opportunity to use the buffet server to keep it warm till we got there. Note to Paul-see i have used it lots now..not just a waste of kitchen space, stuck in the cupboard, is it very sad that i have this kitchen appliance obsession?
The kids are getting very good at drawing raffles now!
We finally got the hot tub out, a lot later than we usually do, but i have just not had the time to set it up, i have been in a couple of times so far with the kids.
Whats really bugging me,is that i bought some lights that go inside it and i can't find them. All i know is when i bought them at Christmas i put them in a very safe place so they wouldn't get lost.....
We have been doing quite a bit of crafting here and there, this weekend was making planters for the gardens,pictures next time of the finished article
Last weekend Paul too Ewan and Molly to Lazer Quest, on what wasi think the hottest day so far.
Me and the little boys got the small tent out and they enjoyed playing camping and setting the tent out
Love this picture, Alex made me a vase of Dandelions and insisted they should be by my bed.
Hes is so sweet
Big Family day out last month was a trip to the SandCastle , which is a big indoor waterpark.
We had not been for 4 years, the last time i was pregnant with Alex.
Fred and Alex were just amazed,i don't know where they got there energy from but after 4 hours they just slept and slept
