The Summer Holidays have come to an end

Brilliant Balloon
The Boys fav birthday pressie
Pressie time for Shelley she
got a new job still with Quariers but a managers position.
No more weekend work or sleepovers.
The 1st day at primary school for the boy
P6 for the girl all at the new Redwell School
Sneaky snooze
The full circle.... Ashley & Gayle were friends at school
Now it's the turn of their daughters
Here we go again yet another bit of recycling/ upcycling
During Colin's summer break he plastered the walls and put a new ceiling up
in what will be my sewing / craft room.
It has a small daybed that will get a multi coloured crochet blanket on it
when I eventually get around to sewing 100 crochet squares together
Anyway being on a mission to spend as little as possible I was on
the hunt for a desk that could be upcycled and hey presto
the local furniture recycling company had exactly what I was looking for
Painted it in my fav Farrow & Ball
A wax of the top and 4 handles
I think it's turned out great the Welsh Dresser that started me on the recycling
route has been move to the opposite wall had a tidy and new bunting
Costs: Desk £25. Handles £1.35 each. Paint & Wax I already had
The boy will be 5 on Wednesday
He had a small get-together for 8 friends at
the local Kidsworld. The theme being super heroes.
His cake was made by a friend of Mummy
Only the bottom was cake the top layers being made of cardboard
covered in icing.
There was a face painter there too
Which the kids loved
The girlie like her mama loves The Simpson
Ashley has a few collectible pieces from her younger days
Another love of the girlie is Lego
She had her eye on The Simpsons Lego House
As it costs quite a few pennies she was trying to save up for it
she reckoned she might with pocket money, birthday money and the 20% off
that Smyths usually has in October she might just manage to purchase it then.
Everyone in the family where possible gave her pennies for her birthday
ourselves included and with a little extra bit of help from Mum & Dad
RESULT!!!!!!!!!
One delighted girl
Where has the time gone 10 years since this wonderful
gift arrived in our lives changing us for the better ...forever
Shelley sent this
The rest of the photos are from the annual
Birthday BBQ
Just noticed my finger!!!!!!!!!!
It is the girlies birthday tomorrow
She loves M&Ms and Kit Kats
Think she'll love her cake
Aimee was learning to play the violin through the school.
The teacher left a few months ago and hasn't been replaced
She loves music so the answer was to pick another instrument
Her mum managed to find a local teacher of the keyboard guitar and drums
She has chosen the drums
This is her at week six
She rocks does our girl
