Been over a Year

And so much has happened in the Carlisle household. The girl is a year older, the boy is a year older. Dad is just Dad, while mum has lurched from one health problem to another health problem, and is currently awaiting 2 lots of different surgeries.

There's been no big holidays this year but a trip to Alton Towers and a ferry trip to Amsterdam has taken place and the summer holidays were ok to start until Mum broke her foot. This meant only short trips until mum got better but now she has a long term broken foot :-S.

The girl has dance exams coming up again and came 2nd top in the exam she sat in the summer. She's also participating in this years Gang Show and has performed in her dance show.

The boy is playing away for the boys club football team.

Lots of fun days coming up soon on new school trips etc.

Happy Birthday to The Boy!!

Hope you have a great day and have fun at your party!

October?

October Holiday already?

Mum has been busy working. She's been at the same school and has been very happy there. Dad's work is picking up and the girl and boy have been doing very well at school and both got great reports from parents night.

Mum and dad are leaving us behind. They're off for their 11th wedding anniversary. We get one day with them before Mum is taking us to York. We're very excited about that.

Reports when we all get back xx

Jeez....time's flying

We're nearly in September. The last 10 weeks have flown past and I have no idea where they have gone.

The children are back at school and Mum should return to work next week. All the usual activities have resumed. No more lazy weekends. So we need to treasure as much as we can.

Busy Week 3

On Monday we went fruit picking at another farm. It wasn't as good as the Fife one but we had fun.

On Tuesday we had to meet friends at Costco to collect a cake and had lunch.

On Wednesday it was our friends birthday and we had a day out to East Links Farm. We had pony rides and went on Go Karts.

On Thursday we walked to the library and it felt like a long walk.

On Friday we went swimming.

On Saturday we went Bowling to Crazy Golf and then McDonalds.

On Sunday we had a lazy day.

Busy week meeting up with everyone who's finally home.

High School Musical

We went to see High School Musical on stage. It was good but not as good as the film. They changed some of it. But we had lots of fun.

Fruit Picking

We had a lazy morning before heading to Cupar in Fife to go Fruit Picking and visit the Maze. The maze we gave up when we got fed up after 30 minutes so we headed over to the fruit picking area and got Fresh Strawberries and Raspberries which tasted so divine. Daddy and Boy liked doing the Strawberries because they were low down and Mum and girlie picked the raspberries which were quite high up. Unfortunately it did start to rain so we headed off. But will be visiting nearby places to pick fruit as they enjoyed it so much.
