Ava and A Bargain!

Here she is. My little princess Ava Brooke! This was taken two days when I got up with the kids, Ava woke at around 6;15am, very unusual for her! Anyway, decided to take some pics as need to give an update on her development. Ava is now over 10 months old, walking (least learning and each day she is becoming so much more confident too). Here Ava is feeding herself the lst couple of oz of her milk! So cute I thought! Hope you like the pics! Can not believe how much she has changed and she turns 1 on 21st March, gee where does the time go????

"Hello! All of Mummys' friend's!....I am having my milk & it's ever so yummy srcummy!"

Last Wednesday, I took Ava out on a short walk in the snow, all wrapped up of course, and we went to the post box to post a couple of things and get a tv mag and paper for DH! Whilst in the PO I stumbled across a DVD stand and there on the shelf was Miss.Potter! Priced at £6.99! I have never seen this before and have heard it's excelent so, it was a must have! I was even more so delighted to buy it as got to the counter and Marie said it's half price....so I got this DVD for £3.48! What afab bargain this was and I can not wait to watch it too!

Choo Choo

Yesterday I was looking after my two angels as Josh is not in nursery on thursdays! We went to the park in the morning and in the afternoon we played..........TRAINS! And here are some pictures to show you Joshs' remarkable Thomas The Tank Engine train set that he has built up in his bedroom! Josh just llllllllloves trains! as most little boys do! Just thought I would share our fun!

Restful Day

I had quite a lovely quiet day with my DD Ava! We hardly did anything really but, least we had the glorious sunshine and heat agin after a great downpour last night - it just cleared the air!

Ava slept quite a bit this morning as I was on here for a few hours. Growth spurt I think! Got some washing done for Josh and cleaned and tidied my beautiful kitchen, which I just adore! Had an appointment with the doctors this afternoon about my toe but, not wanting to talk about that incase it puts anyone off. Get two lots of results so, I'm to be prepared for waiting on these as they take time for the type of tests they are doing in the Lab! Nothing to worry about though! We then went onto the Post Office to post 3 RAKS and something for DH. While in RSMcColls I noticed they had my regular Papercraft Essentials so purchased it as it was a MUST. Have that to read tonight in bed. Before heading home, I treated myself to a lovely scrumptious looking fudge cream doughnut, mmmmmm yummy it was too!

This evening not done much, dealt with the kids and they are both in bed sleeping so off to make a card or two and think about what I'm doing for the Bookmark swap, Tag swap and Baby Card Swap! Amongst producing RAKS for people on CB Forum. Shall post piccies tomorrow!

Afternoon in the Garden

I was unable to fit in all the piccies I wanted to show in my previous post and, was not going to start all over again. So, above is a picture just to show you th pile of magazines I went through this afternoon drinking a lovely cuppa with the lovely company of my DD rolling & kicking about.
As I went through these I got inspired again. So many lovely projects that you completely forget about. More things to add onto my Project List. Below, is a picture of a Scrapbook that I bought for my DS down at RSMcColls. Josh just Loves to cut out like me! I thought he would like this to cut up and to draw on (he scribbles really) and stick things onto, like his stickers (another thing he loves doing). £1.19 it cost me and it is A3 size. thought that was rather good and especially when it has so many different colours inside.

Yesterday I was looking after both the children and it was good but, Josh was being ever so silly and his problem right now is He just does not LISTEN! It makes me very angry because he looks at me as if he is listening when really he is not and he makes no response whatsoever! It's soooo infuriating! Anyway it came to dinner time and he started it fine. But then, he was playing around on the seat and all of a sudden he fell with the fork in his hand and cried! I asked him if he was okay and he said he was fine and we had a cuddle to settle him. Then for some reason he just wouldn't eat the rest of his dinner. I asked him to eat up goodness knows how many times and chatted to him about not listening and ignoring me......still nothing.....I got rather angry that I told him to go to bed and that I didn't want to see him.....he just went and did so. I really didn't expect him to but, it just showed me that he LISTENED THEN! He woke up around 21:30pm and sat with us for an hour and boy was he funny! He told Daddy what had happened then he started cutting up paper at his cutting table because he wanted to cut like me ( I was cutting up my decoupage designs you see). So, that was funny! But, DH chatted to me as I am too soft on Josh and he said tht I need to learn to be more tougher with him. The only thing is I find it really hard!

Afternoon in the Garden

Our afternoon outside in our garden was bliss! As you can see! Ava lay looking at the funny plastic flower (in the pict. below) and rolled about onto her front and kicked her legs about. She had a whale of a time out in the fresh air lying in the garden of peacefullness.

Here we both are out in our peaceful garden. Do not like the pic of me though. Ava below after rolling onto her front and showing off her skills at 4 months 7 days of age.

Ava is reading my CB magazine, she takes to the pictures and colours so she does! I'm sure she will turn into a crft person just like Mummy! I do hope so anyway!

A Beautiful Day

Ohhh! What a beautiful sunny warm day we have had here in Fife for the second day running. We have been so very lucky with the weather. Josh, Ava & I went on down to the Kocal Park after postng some vital post packages: magazines for my elder sister who is pecting anytime now, THE PRIZE to Louise (pinkpuupy on the crafts beautiful forum), a cheque payment for craft materials at Angel Crafts and my August ATC Swaps with a RAK for Amelia Fraser (courtneysmum on CB forum). We arrived at the park and Josh headed straught for the swings, as I expected he would. He craves swings!

He swang and swang to his hearts content, as you can see, while Ava drifted off to nodland in her buggie! Once I said to Josh it was time to come home he was not a happy littl fella. He went on the sea saw with me and then on the funny looking roped roundabout, which you can see in the pictures. He absolutely LOVED this as you can see in the picture below!

On our way home Josh insisted on going for a littl walk! So we did and this is him wih his biker! A Happy Little Fella!

Glorious Sunny Day

What a Glorious Summers Day it is here in Fife today! It is so very warm and just what we need after some horrible weather we have been experiencing lately. I feel so much joy and smile so much when the sun comes out like this. There is nothing that beats it....eept would not mind being somewhere abroad but, I really can not complain with the weather today because it is just Glorious! I have been inside though as I am rather weary of the sun what with littl Ava! You can not be too careful! I hope that this weather is just the same elsewhere today for everyone else!

A Lovely Day

Awwww! What a lovely, blissfull relaxing time I have had today!....The morning and afternoon was spent in the swimming pool with myelder sister, neice and DD Av Brooke. We had a wonderful time together just catching up and letting our little ones have some quality time together before my sister pops! Had a lovely spot of lunch too, then came homeafter talking about the probles with in laws, as you do! Arrived at mine, sat on the grass and chatted some more in the beautiful warm sun beaming down, as my neice played with Joshs' toys and sandpit. Now, i've been catching up on some posts and waiting for my two dearest boys t arrive home after a ay at nursery/work.

Lovely Sunny Day

We have had such a lovely Sunday today. Weather was just beautiful. Enjoyed ou time as a family watching telly, going to the park and playing with Joshs' train set! Josh lllllloves his trains, especially Thomas and His Friends!

This morning I dealt with my kitchen first though, as it was a right mess with dirty dishes etc. so got that sorted before doing anything. Managed to get two loads of washing out as it needed done or else I would have left it till tomorrow! Made a lovely pork casserole on our slow cooker and made the lunch too. Dinner was very tasty but, Josh was whining and took forever to eat but, finally finished it off. My parents popped by as they were over in Fife staying in their holiday cottage for the weekend so, that was nice to see them as not seen them since DH Surprise 30th Party! They saw a change in Ava! Once Ava was asleep she went down to bed at 10pm and we watched Midsomer Murders, a programme I just love! I sat and finsihed cutting out a decoupage sheet I have been working on over the last couple of days so will be able to make a card for someone with that. I am now wondering about on here catching up but, off to bed to get my sleep before another day arrives. Shall post some piccies of Josh and Ava at the park tomorrow.

Sleep well all x
