Saturday is Caption Day – 11th January 2014

Isaac went back to school on Monday and was most upset that Kian and Callan didn’t have to go back until Tuesday, so made sure he made so much noise his big brothers were awake.

Kian decided he was going to come with us on the school run although he couldn’t be bothered to get changed so ended up scooting in his Star Wars onesie.  Eliza then decided that her scooter wasn’t good enough and insisted on hitching a lift.

Project 365 2014 – Week One

I am still in shock that I managed to complete last years 365.  I thoroughly enjoyed it and although most of my photo’s were taken on my trusty iPhone it did inspire me to buy a DSLR.  I am still learning how to use it and am looking forward to doing a course later in the year.

Saturday is Caption Day – 4th January 2014

During a trip to Christchurch to feed the ducks, Isaac and Eliza were having fun posing with various statues when I managed to catch them pulling faces with this one. (Yes Isaac did insist on going as Mr Incredible)

Project 365 – Week 52

I have done it!!


A picture for every single day of 2013 and here are my final entries:

356.  Our first full day on the farm at Coombe Mill and Isaac got to drive the tractor with Farmer Nick.  How proud does he look?

357.  Sebastian didn’t like being put in his new baby carrier, however once he was hoisted onto Daddy’s shoulders he loved being able to see everything going on around him.

Coombe Mill

358.  It’s Christmas Eve and the kids were surprised by a special visit from Father Christmas on their train ride at Coombe Mill.  They even got a present (or two) each.

359.  It’s Christmas Day and someone got a new lens for their camera (ME!).  Here is my very first photo with it and I couldn’t wish for a better one!

360.  Boxing Day say Eliza get her turn at driving the Tractor.  I am not so sure that I would have been as relaxed as Farmer Nick!

Coombe Mill
361.  Today we said goodbye to Coombe Mill and all our new friends.  Eliza gained an honourary big sister in the process – Mediocre Mum’s daughter M!

362.  Home sweet home and the kids get to open the presents we couldn’t fit in the car!

Christmas 2013

363.  After spending the last week in the great outdoors, staying in just wasn’t an option so we headed to Christchurch with Abbey and Paul to feed the ducks and mess around.

364.  We headed to London to the O2 to see Disney On Ice to review Seatwave’s click and collect service.  What an utter disaster – 3 hours to get there in the torrential rain and high winds and the O2 had no record of our tickets.  Luckily there were a few other bloggers / journalists in the same situation and we stood up on mass and the O2 kindly stepped and gave us tickets – albeit ones in the gods and I spent the whole time trying to stop Eliza climbing over the edge so she could get a better view!

365.  Whilst at Coombe Mill the lovely Chrissie (Mediocre Mum) introduced the kids to home made waffles.  They were such a hit I found a waffle machine in the sales and here was my first attempt at making our own.  They were a success!

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year and I look forward to sharing our adventures in 2014.

A big thank you going out to all of you that have viewed and commented on my blog this year and to theboyandme for hosting this fabulous linky!

Saturday is Caption Day – 28th December 2013

The train ride at Coombe Mill was really popular and it wasn’t until our final day that I got to take Sebastian on it.

Kian was taking photos and I was hoping for a lovely family shot………. I got this!

Project 365 – Week 51

I have to admit that this week has been majorly stressful.  Firstly we had Sebastian’s Christening on Sunday which was fantastic and it was lovely to see family and friends, then it was making sure all the presents were wrapped in time for our trip to Coombemill on Saturday.

I was expecting hubby to be home to help as his shop was on shut down, however he has been in work everyday due to a refit and then had 2 christmas parties so I have seen him even less than usual.

As soon as we got into the car to travel to Cornwall I relaxed and now I am sat next to a roaring fire at 5am in the morning typing this – lets hope the fresh farm air makes the little sleep longer tonight!

Here is my week in pictures:
349.  Me with my eldest two
350.  Kian building some LEGO Chima
351.  Sebastian chilling out on the sofa watching me wrap presents
352.  Isaac performing in his school nativity
353.  Sebastian refusing to sleep and let me finish the wrapping
354.  Abbey and Eliza posing in their matching hoodies
355.  Choo Choo – the Santa Express has arrived at Coombemill

Saturday is Caption Day – 21st December 2013

We were lucky enough to win a photo shoot with Venture as part of the Travel Supermarket Kids Capture the Colour Competition.  

The shoot was yesterday and hubby caught this fabulous picture on his phone before getting told off for taking pictures.  Can you caption it?
