If I could give you the stars, I'd gather them inside my heart,
I'd wrap them in love and brighten your day with starlight ..

OMG ~ where have 2 months gone??

I just cannot believe that it has been over 2 months since I posted on my poor neglected blog (I am so sorry blog, I do still love you!). I have really missed blogging, missed all my blogging friends and your blogs. I have such alot of catching up to do and will be over to visit you all this week/weekend, so expect me to be popping up to say hello very soon! I will not be leaving it so long and am hoping that my love of blogging will still be there and indeed stay!

We have been really busy and there have been alot of changes. Daniel has moved up to senior school and is getting on really well and seems to enjoy it. He has grown up all of a sudden and doesnt actually tell me that much about what goes on at school........getting ready for the teenage years I fear!!

Lauren moved to junior school and she is also doing really well, she is the opposite of her brother and tells me everything that she does at school......EVERYTHING!!!!!



Lots and lots of events have taken place, the most recent being Laurens 8th birthday. She had a joint cheer leading party with one of her school friends, which she loved and then on her actual birthday we had a celebration at home ~ more presents and yet another cake!!

Here is my little birthday princess, blowing out the candles on her cake (yes, she is in her pyjamas ha ha !!)

cake and eight candles, how can my baby be 8 already!??


Lauren has recently joined the brownies and was actually sworn in to the brownie pack on her birthday, another nice celebration.

Shake those pom poms!



We also celebrated haloween and the children enjoyed trick or treating. I have never seen so many sweets and they are still getting through them now (the poor teeth!!)
Here are some scary spider cakes that I made with Lauren, they were very yummy!!




Lauren and Daniel carved the pumpkin that had pride of place in the kitchen window, very spooky!!


The annual haloween party was great fun as always and Lauren decided that she wanted to be a purple witch this year, that face make up took forever to get off and she still had a slight purple tint to her a few days later!!!



My big boy, looking so smart on his first day at senior school. If only he looked that smart every day!!




That is just a quick update of what we have been doing. Life is much the same as always, busy but happy!! We are getting ready for Christmas and the children are excited that we are going to be putting up the tree and christmas decorations over the next few weeks (photos to follow!!). We are also planning to go and visit santas grotto in the local shopping centre and I have a few nights out planned in the lead up to Christmas, so good times ahead!
Will be over to visit you all very soon and promise that my next post will be in a matter of days and not months!! XXXX
