What i've been up to

• Sewing costumes
• Baking tons of cakes for teachers gifts and for my Brother in Laws animal themed fancy dress pub crawl.
• Finding a one with my hubbies initials.
• Watching my son in his school play.
• Loving getting my sons work at the end of the year.
• Last day of term - can't believe my youngest has done one whole fulltime year at school and is still only 4.
• Fantastic report from my eldest.
• Funny report from the youngest 'Needs to learn to sit still, concentrate and listen!!'
• Playing 'ice hockey'
• Eating veggie hotdogs.
• Toasting (but not eating as we are veggies) marshmallows around a camp fire.
• Dinner here - their cinnamon ice cream is so yummy!!
• Buying my youngest a teeny tiny pull along suitcase to take to the airport when we go on  our hols soon. Bargain price of about £6!
• Laughing at my eldest putting toys in his bed so his little brother thinks he is asleep when actually he is downstairs getting some peace in the mornings.
• Making my brother in Law a funny little gift - 30 lollies because '30 sucks'!!
• Collecting dollars to put in Bro in laws birthday card to go towards his disney hols. '30' dollars from each of the people that put in.
• Bro in laws birthday BBQ. Kids loved the bouncy castle!! Some of us adults were gutted we weren't allowed to go on. Its prompted me to hire one for an adult only party!!!!
• Heading down to a very hot and sunny Brighton for dinner here and rides on the pier.

Home and other things

I love my home!!
I can't believe we have been here a year now, it has gone so quick.
There is so much i want to do to put our stamp on it. But we are doing it gradually as to be honest going out and being with family is more important. Here are some pics from the last few weeks that have been on instagram - follow me at lissylou123

I got these mints in Brighton - aren't they just soooo cute??!!

Couldn't resist these pj bottoms. Perfect for me - Happy at night, Grumpy in the morning:

This purse has been lying around the house for a few days. My youngest won it in a lucky dip. Its clearly second hand (and the zips broke) but he loves it! I remember having a purse like this as a kid. Did you?

My house was a state after a busy week and heavy weekend - all tidy now though.
I took 4 pairs of shoes just for a weekend away!!!!
