The last day of May

I climbed Mount Everest and conquered it... YAY!!!!

The feeling when you get to the top is amazing.. Truly!!

Ok so my Mount Everest was actually Mount Ironing and it is done. I know that some of you people dont believe in ironing but it just had to be done. It was spreading and spreading and taking over the house.

The last month has been hard trying to post every day and I have only not posted once which is not bad really. I wasnt going o do it again but the topic for this June is Home, Home is something that is very important to me so I may just have to post again for June. Please forgive me if I dont get it done every day.. The days I work are pretty dull as I am sure you wouldnt want to hear about my day at work but I have afew ideas for Home...

We are hoping to go camping in a couple of weeks time and have spent the day looking at various tents, ours is just not big enough for the four of us. It is amazing how much stuff you end up taking and I am talking essentials NOT the tv or DVD player. It has been a super week been with the children and now we only have seven weeks to go until the end of term and then we have the summer holidays.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

Cannonball !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We took advantage of a lovely sunny windy day and took the children out for a bike ride. There is a lovely park near to us which apparently used to be a coal mine and they made it into a beautiful park and there is also a woodland. It is within walking or riding distance of our house but the roads are so busy I took the children over in the car loaded with bikes whilst Andrew cycled over ther and met us. My son wanted to take some pictures whilst I was driving so the next couple of pictures are by him and not me as I was driving.

Andrew joined us and off we went. It is the perfect way to explore the park and we found bits that we had never seen before. Cannonball is what my son shouts as he pedels off "REALLY FAST MUM".

I have no idea where he got this from. There is a skate and BMX course in the park and he looks longingly at it every time we go but I usually tell him it is too buy for him. Well today I was a brave Mummy and asked the "Big Kids" if they would let him have a turn around for one minute. To say he was thrilled was an understatement and the big kids were shouting him on. Shame that Daddy had gone off with the camera so I didnt get a picture.

Here is one of me, well sort of.

We even had a cycle around the woodland, it was perfect.

My son asked me what the noise was, all you could hear were the trees.

Perfick !!!!
