Cinema, Shopping, Aquarium, Ears Pierced, Emma Bridgewater.......A fabulous day had by all

We all had a fabulous day yesterday. We got up and left the house early and went to the cinema to watch Rio (a film about a blue parrot who finds himself back in Rio and his adventures after being taken!!). The kids loved it. Afterwards we met up with Wendy and kids (who were also at the cinema and had been trying to get hold of me all morning but I had left my phone at home by accident!!). We all had dinner at Pizza Hut together which the children thought was fantastic, can't remember the last time we went there. When we had all eaten until we were completely stuffed the girls and I went into Plymouth and went shopping and Samuel went off with Wendy and boys to the marine aquarium for the afternoon!!! He had the best day ever!!

The girls and I didn't have too long to shop but we had a good go. Emily spent her gird card in Claire's on a 'The Wanted' bag she is going to use for PE! When we were in there I said to Tamsyn about them doing ear piercing and she said she would like it done.............! She has been talking about it for ages but has always changed her mind when I say we will go but yesterday she said yes! She sat in the chair and was very brave. When it was done I could tell she wanted to be out of the shop as soon as possible she was trying really hard not to cry and trying to smile to stop herself. Poor thing she was so pleased but so shocked at the same time. She said they felt like they were burning and all red. They look amazing though and make her look really grown up. I put the solution on last night and she turned tham and the wern't red or hurting at all. The ladies in Clairse's were really nice and gave her and Emily a lolly pop.

She suprisingly wanted to go on shopping and we ended up in Emma Bridgewater heaven :-) much to our excitement. Emily found the cup I was going to order next from the website so I now have a Bittern mug (a bird looking up to the sky). We also bought a EB heart photo album which I think i'm going to give to Lucy and Dan our friends who have just got engaged. I bought an EB canvas shopping bag with hearts on it and a notebook with the black toast print on the front in flock!! I also bought a blue le creuset butter dish which is fabulous. That and a few really lovely beach bits for Emily in Primark and some wellies in Next for Tamsyn we all had a good day. The whole time Tamsyn looking at me with a beemy smily on her face.

On the way home the girls and I called in to see Uncle Andi and Aunty Tanya and children who were supposed to be coming over for tea but it had all got a bit late so we postponed. We had a good chat and catch up and then went on to Wendy's to pick up Samuel.....or so we thought.......the boys had put the tent up in the garden and were all going to stay in it for the night. He came back with us to pick up a few bits and then went back down for the night. He is even staying with them all day as well today lucky boy, he's having such a good holiday.

The girls are going out to Granny Rosa's today and I have to work boo and hiss. Iv'e just had a text about Emily having her long lost best friend coming to stay for a couple of days this weekend (Matilda moved all the way to Newquay hense the long lost hehe) which she will be pleased about when I see her later. Guess whats happening tonight :-) shes going to finally have to tidy her room hehe.

  Really good film     My new mug
