Holidays

The kids broke up on holiday on Friday. We went swimming at teatime and the pool was dead. Then on Saturday we went to the family fun day at Redford Barracks and Murray loved the Army Assault Course which was there. He was a bit wee for climbing up the main bit and then needed a bit of help out. But here he is on the rope part.

Phew he got over it lol.

Yesterday was a lazy day. We did a food shop then lazed about before taking the chance to buy some fence paint. So we just have the fences down the side of the house to paint now. But everytime I painted it rained. Grrr. Anyway they are done now and look good. The kids played outside all day and were content for once.
This morning, the first morning we don't have to get up.... what happens? Both are up by 7am. Lazy morning Leisurely lunch and then we went swimming. The sun even came out so we went for a swim in the outdoor pool and lasted a good 30 minutes. The pool indoors was freeeeeeezing.
SO one day down...... how many more to go? Oh yeah 52 left to go with 15 days in Lanzarote lol. So only 37 days to plan things hehe.

Yellow Submarine

If I never hear Yellow Submarine sung again, then it will be too soon.

Yesterday after school, we went to get the new specs. Then we went to the cinema to see Prince Caspian. It was a good film, although Murray got restless. Then we went to the Peach Garden for a chinese. Getting home at 8.25pm, we put the Gruesome Twosome straight to bed. But at 11.30pm, Murray was lying singing Yellow Submarine at the top of his voice. He'd been singing for 2 hours!!!! So we became very tough, lights off and severe telling off. At one point, he started banging on the wall between our rooms as well. Telling my friend today she reckons he was banging to get out of his submarine.

At 12pm our school holiday's started. We have 7 and a half weeks this year. Will be interesting to see how long my sanity lasts. We're not away for another 4 weeks and 6 days. Weather forecast for July is to be rubbish. How typical. I'd rather have a wet June.

Family BBQ at my mum's work and a lazy weekend. Am very excited.

Just realised I have reported back on Stobo. It was a lovely relaxing day. I had a facial. Then a massage, a gorgeous lunch then reflexology. I struggled the last 10 minute drive home and was exhausted. Been trying to talk Dh into going for the day or maybe the night but he was a bit off with me after mentioning it. Oh well, I'll just take my girly friends or my mum again.
