End of the half term :-(

Emily goes back to school tomorrow Boo and Hiss.....! Bless her she got ready this afternoon in true 'Emily will always be organised in the morning style' Samuel and Tamsyn have an extra day off and are going to Granny Rosa's for the day as I have to work unfortunately. I seemed to forget about the extra day and forgot to change my shift! This half term crept up on me far to quickly and I wasn't quite prepared. The children haven't done too much but we have had a couple of really nice days walking, going to the beach, walk's in the wood with the dog and what seems like far too much ice cream and fish and chips! We finished off the holidays with a really big roast at the pub in five lanes. Very yummy, and afterwards went up to Uncle Neil's and Aunty Margaret and met the whole of the Barron clan (his Mum and Dad and brother were there as well as Josh, Mac, Shaun and some of Mac's friends).
Ben took Samuel fishing this afternoon. The girls and I stayed at home and played on the Wii and messed around. We were going to make some muffins but none of us were too bothered. Just happy to have the opportunity to sit and do nothing for a while - Tomorrow the chaos starts again.
I must remember to get Tamsyn to read her school books before we she goes back on Tuesday!! Bad Mummy hehe. I still think that holidays should be just for having fun but a little bit of reading isn't that bad xx
The one thing Emily and I did this afternoon was to spend lots of money on handbags!!!!! even bigger bad Mummy......! I bought myself the most wonderful Cath Kidston day bag YEAH and Emily bought a saddle bag made form Cath Kidston oil cloth - she is really pleased and is going to use it for school. Again a very good purchase :-) We are going to look very fabulous with our new bags xx My Emily has the most amazing good taste at the moment - long may it continue. Buying Emma Bridgewater and Cath Kidston with her birthday money - good girl. I don't know what I'm going to do when she gets all stroppy, wears black, has greasy hair and thinks the whole world is a dark room (bettlejuice hehe)
Anyway must go.... I'm watching the constant gardner...Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz, fantastic film xxx

The month of May has ended!!!

Since I last wrote we have had a few more birthdays :-) birthday season continued. Tamsyn's was the next and she had several of her little friends over for a tea party. She had Gruffalo cups and plates and a table cloth and napkins to match. We even had a Gruffalo banner saying happy birthday, she was thrilled and all the little lady's (and Bradley) had a wonderful afternoon. They played with Sylvanian families and playmobile and had playdoh all over the place!
We even had a badge each (I was the owl, Tamsyn the mouse, of course, Ben had the Gruffalo, Samuel had the fox, Emily the squirrel and Jet had the snake attached to his collar!)
She came over to our house after school with the Sleeman tribe for cake and a play. We all sang happy birthday very loudly. Bless her she was very cute and very happy.
Its now June and its the month of the 'royal Lang wedding' Is in 15 days!!!! I only got my dress yesterday. Ben and I went late night shopping in Plymouth and after several hours thinking Plymouth had nothing I liked!! not even a decent pair of shoes.....!I went into Coast...oh boy......they had lots. So from the start of the evening thinking I wanted a summer/county chic dress I ended up buying a most wonderful satin dress that is the most impractical thing I have ever seen but is amazing at the same time!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its amazing on. Ive decided to team it up with a red cardigan and either one of my lovely red shoes. I still think it's far too posh but I love it and it feels fantastic on - I cant wait to wear it. The girls and Samuel look fantastic in their outfits and Benjamin looks wonderful as ever in his suit :-) We are going to look very glamorous xxxxxx
