Finn's 4th birthday...

Hello there peep's

Today I'm posting about Finn's birthday, it was back in August but I figured Frazer's is just past & I don't want to leave the wee guy out!!

We had a lovely wee morning opening pressies....

We took Finn to a place called Red Castle in Ireland, it is such good fun.... Not only for the boys but if your a big kid then it's such a laugh, I love the dodgems they are soooo much fun!

Finn really did have the best day lots of his friends came for the party and it turns out he loves the dodgems too!! My boys are at such a fun age..... Still hectic but fun!

After such a exciting day they got a well deserved nap!!!!

We had such a great time, we've been back a couple of times. It has such a lovely beach too. I have a few photos of a different day out there. But that is for another post.

Hope everyone is having a ace Wednesday

Photos are a GO GO GO!!!

So people I am now a go for photo blogging again.... I have the biggest smile right now.

My how the boys have grown in the last 7 months :)

Me and the boys were out to the cinema today see Alvin & The Chipmunks - Chipwrecked with our friend Nicole for Frazer's 3rd birthday, the boys enjoyed it and that was the main thing! I wouldn't be taking them to see it again that's for sure!

Frazer had the best time..... He got to make his wish!

You wonder where the times goes I mean Finn is 4 & half.... Frazer will be at nursery in September. It will be good to have some more me time I plan to use it crafting and making a perfect wee home!

I'm still off the smokes it's been 17 days now....

How proud of me am I!!!

See my wee puffer!!!

It was a super day that day lovely and dry..... Cold is fine, but wet is not for me!!

Well that's me for tonight... I shall be catching you all up on our summer with photos are promised.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!!

The infamous Granny Mattie's knitting, this is a cardi/jacket with a scarf and hat to match, I'd say it's age 4-5, as Finn is 3.5 and it's still a long while till it would fit... It's Arron and will wash really well....

Here are 3 wooden embroidery hoops looking for a new home as I have doublers, I bought them in a clear out on eBay and have never used them....

This little bundle of fat quarter's will make a lovely wee summer project I'm sure....

I'm having a clear out of all my patterns also, this is a lovely vintage 2-piece size 50...

This dress pattern size 20, has such a lovely bust line, in the right fabric this would be a show stopper....

This dress pattern size 14, is right in time for summer and comes as in a maxi dress size too...

This girls dress size 8 is super cute I love the pleats.... Too cute!!!!!

It's not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can't tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself.

Happy 2nd Birthday my wee man
I love you

finn's 3rd birthday

so three years have passed and......
my wee boy Finn is growing up before my very eye's....

i mean how did he get from

here.......

i still remember him being handed to me in the hospital....
"it's a boy"
my first question was
"is he ok...."
and he was and still is and of that i am very thankful

Finn had a ball at his part and loved his house i was so happy with the turn out, I'm glad that so many of his wee friend's made it over.... they really made his day,

the cake was much enjoyed by the......... mother's, all the kid's wanted the marzipan!!!!!

saying this everyone had to wait for wee frazer too wake he's been having so much bother with the teething of late bloody back teeth are killing him the wee dote....

when everyone was away home me and the boy's had the last of the bouncy fun..... finn really did love it infact today when we woke he asked
"where bouncy????"
to that i said
"away home"
i defo found this easier than the question
" where woody"
when he opened the buzz light year !!!!!

i hope everyone is having a fab weekend
