Growth Spurt!

I'm pretty sure both girls have had a growth spurt over the summer holidays!!! I've had to update both  wardrobes with new and bigger clothes. I enjoy it though as I love shopping for girls! Chloe now has some nice new clothes waiting to be delivered today and tomorrow hopefully! Shes rather excited bless her!
Olivia has finally at 22 months moved into 18-24, its still a little big on her but shes had her 12-18 months clothes for nearly a year now and i'm sick at the sight of it! I love changing wardrobes when new seasons begin!!! Heres pics of her new wardrobe!!! (Still waiting on some more bits to arrive!)

Siggy making!!

I've always been into making these graphics known as siggys .. mainly for forums of some kind. I used to be very active on a particular parenting board and made my own siggys for it as well as for other people. I haven't been active on this board for a good year or two now but the other day went back. It was lovely to see old faces and new faces!!!
I mainly posted on the Siggy board and the UK Mummies board. I went back to both a few days ago and have begun posting again. I also made myself an autumn siggy!!!! Here it is!!!

Check out the pout!!!!!

Check out the pout on my beautiful girlie!!!!!! 

School!!

Yesterday (3rd September) was Ryan's first day back at school (year 5) and Chloe's first day of going to school (Reception).
Can't believe Chloe has started school!!!! She had a fab first day bless her but was glad to see us when we picked her up!!
Ryan wasn't phased .. I think because he was used to the school and routine etc and had been there a few years. But he had a good first day back.
Chloe is only doing half days at the minute. She does mornings this week, afternoons next week, mornings again, then all of the reception do a week of mornings and staying for lunch if they want to and then the week after they all start attending school full time.
She looks so grown up in her uniform. Its still rather hot outside (unusual for the UK!!!) so most of the girls have been going in their summer dresses. Can't believe that just 6 weeks ago Chloe was still attending pre-school!!
She has been super excited about starting school especially since Ryan is there. She thinks she can hang around with him at playtimes but i'm sure he will be off with his mates rather than play with his 4 year old sister haha!!!
She seems to be settling in fine. I think of course there is some adjusting to new surroundings and new routine .. but she will get there.

How smart do my babies look!!!!!!

Last day of the summer Holidays!!!

Tomorrow school starts. Ryan goes into year 5 and Chloe starts school for the very first time!!
So today after lunch we went on a bike ride to the park.
Olivia loved going on the trike and Chloe certainly enjoyed whizzing along on her balance bike! Ryan LOVES going on bike rides!

When we got back I labeled the kids uniforms with a little helper!! I think she found it boring though!

And Chloe then laid her uniform out ready for tomorrow (although I have now put it in a neat pile so its not across out living room floor!)

Can't believe she starts school tomorrow!!! She is really excited bless her!!!!

Christening

Today we went to a christening. I was her godmother!!! I feel SO honoured to have been asked to play this role in her life!!! She is an amazing little girl and I take this duty seriously with her!!!!
It was a beautiful ceremony and lil lady certainly had a lot to say throughout the service!
She looked adorable in her little christening outfit!
Me and her mother met after Alana was born. Nic's mum had been to my house before Alana was born to pick up baby items she had bought. Alana put in an appearance at 30 weeks. I didn't meet Nic til she came once with her mum to pick more baby clothes up. Alana was so teeny tiny and it only feels like yesterday that Nic walked into my house with this teeny tiny bundle!!!
I value our friendship very much and love how our friendship has blossomed since we have only known each other for a little while now .. but it feels like i've known her FOREVER!!
Both our girls get on very well (they are close in age) and Chloe loves Alana to bits. Ryan has also said "shes very cute"!!!
It was a lovely day and it was lovely to spend time with Nic's family and friends!!!!

22 Months old today!

Our youngest Olivia is 22 months old today!! I have no idea where the time has gone, she has grown up soooo fast!!! Can't believe that very soon we will be celebrating her 2nd birthday!!!!

Weymouth Beach and Fireworks on a Bank Holiday Monday!

Monday 26th August was Bank Holiday Monday. We had arranged a day out with my husbands sister and her family a few weeks back. We decided to go to Weymouth Beach and then watch the fireworks in the evening. The older two had a fab time in and out of the sea. The middle two stayed a bit closer and were paddling in a shallow bit of water and Olivia sat with us filling her bucket with sand and stones! 

After we finished on the beach we went for a short wander along the harbour side. Managed to get a picture of the 4 older ones and a picture of the Condour Ferry!

About 6ish we headed back to the cars that were parked in the park and ride car park. We then drove over to Bowleaze which is a beach caravan holiday park. There the kids had a chippy tea and went climbing on the rocks. We even saw the Ferry go back out!

 We then headed back over to Weymouth about 8ish and sat on the seafront to wait for the fireworks to start at 9.30!

We had a fabulous day and we were late getting home. All 3 kids were in bed pretty quick and were soon fast asleep!!  We soon followed suit haha!
