My Special Dad x

We enjoyed coffee and toast at Webb's this morning.

Made my dad's Birthday card when I got back

Visited my dad with card and present

Wished him a Happy Birthday.

Pity there was no sign of my two brothers....grrrrr

I got the call that Larry was ready.

Heard how much it going to cost me.

Direct hit to my bank account!

At least he is back!!

 

Saying Goodbye :'( Part 3

While watching the Third season of "House Of Cards",

Our long haired gold hamster called Ruby didn't make appearance at all.

Investigating further, poor Ruby had died :'(.

This is the third hamster to die in the last six months :(

Mostly from old age :'(

So we now have just Smokey Blue hamster left.

Hubby and I have been in mourning today,

The kids haven't been as upset as we have.

We laid Ruby to rest, where our other 3 hamsters are buried...

Waving Goodbye to Ruby,

Saying Hello to Larry, as hopefully he is back tomorrow! 

 

Burnt Offerings..

Welcome to my Hump of the Week
Filled up Flask & Cool Box
We were out of here...

On road trip to  Evesham.

We had a good sort out and handed 93 books into the Book Recycle Shop

Kids played football (until they started arguing, and sulking)

Picnic by the river

Then they played in the large sand pit area.
Now to make the most of the remaining sunshine

Time to use our chimney in our front garden!

 

Shake,Shake, Shake The Tree

After playing with gear stick late into the night,

I woke up early and played a bit more with it (Hubby's not complaining!)

We went once more around the lake.

Someone's football got stuck in a tree.

I offered to climb the tree..

If I had attempted to get into the tree,

It would end up like a Weeping Willow,

Plus it didn't fancy get stuck up there!

So Jack got up in the tree.

Lots of Shake,shake, shake of the branches..

 Two brothers helped too.

Teamwork!

Hey hey the ball was retrieved!

Somewhere Over The Rainbows..

Time to escape from the house...

No Wobby Work Wheel for 6 weeks!

Dropped off Larry at the garage for his service.

The mechanic joked: "Surprising it can still drive!"

Enjoyed teacake, coffee and chat in the cafe at M&S

Later on, time to let the kids burn some energy off playing football around

 the nearby Lake...

There was a double rainbow over the house tonight :)

They looked really nice...:)

 

 

 

A Little Bit Of Adult Time!

The morning consisted of lie-in, tea and a little bit of love...

Children went off with their dad..

Now for some adult time...

It took us FOUR times to decide on a table ..

Not this fussy about the food!

We had a lovely carvery, with my dad :)

I wrote the list of things we have got for Larry.

As he is going in for a full service tomorrow.

Found a guest near the money tree...

 

Showing The Red Card!

We are only into the 1st day of the School Holidays..

Already had squabbles, arguments, the bored word mentioned, and the removal of pocket money.

By the end of the 6 weeks holiday I am not going to have a voice, and have lots of grey hairs!

Tomorrow they are seeing their dad for the first time in months..

We will see if they play up for him or he if loses his temper....

The 21st present I bought my older son, was not collected.......

So I handed the contents to  our local Charity Shop and

gave a £80 donation. 

Roll on tomorrow \o/
