Lately

Making the most of the pleasant weather, cooling down in the pool and hanging out at the park.

Isaac Turns Two

Today we celebrated this little boys second birthday. I can't believe it has gone so fast, since the first day I met him.
The little ones played so happily together, with new toys and in the paddling pool, whilst us adults divided our attention between watching the tennis and watching the children! What a day, the first Brit to win Wimbledon since the iconic Fred Perry 77 years ago. We certainly won't forget this birthday party in a hurry!


Happy Birthday special boy, I hope you had a fantastic day and thank you for inviting us :)

Sunny Sunday

Sundays have become such a lazy, stay at home day. The sun shone and it was a beautiful afternoon so we spent the day playing in the garden.
Painting, paddling and picking flowers for Mummy from the garden. Thankfully, Mr Bees ankle seems to be on the mend, a day of nearly perfect walking, no nap (although he did crash out before 6!) and no sadness.
Our Sunday roast was taken outside, opting for lemon roast chicken with roast vegetable couscous and homemade potato salad and all the salady trimmings.

Sunshine!

Fully taking advantage of the glorious weather. The paddling pool was a highlight, keeping Mr Bee cool throughout the day. I lost count of the amount of iced lollies he has eaten trying to keep cool. A trip to the shop ended in tears and numerous nasty grazes which really frightened Mr Bee, but he was a brave boy. Papa was fixing Uncle Gerards car and Mr Bee was itching to help, carrying spanners and fixing anything he could. Luckily the weather seems to be here to stay, hopefully long enough to give us wonderful weather for our holiday next week!

Indian Summer

We are having fun enjoying this wonderful Indian Summer that has landed upon us in late September. Yesterday, I took my Bees for a break down to our local pub for a quick drink and a bite to eat. Papa bee has been working very hard to fix his car so very much deserved a treat.

 We got the train set out to play with in the conservatory too, it is one of Mr Bees favourite toys. He will play for hours with his train set.

 This weather is great for pretty nappies, no need for clothes in this heat just a nice owly nappy!

Sharing his bread with Sonny Jim

 I very rarely talk about our 4th memeber of the household, Sonny as he doesn't seem to sit still enough for good pictures! However, he was being very tolerant to the camera today so I snapped him whilst I could.

Whats this then?

 We have visitors down to stay again this time, this time my Auntie Bonny and Iain. They are down for Sophie-Maes Christening tomorrow. Mr Bee has taken to Iain and wants him to play everything together.

Bumblybee

 Our garden is going a beautiful colour at the moment. All the summer flowers have shrivelled now, but some red ivy has appeared from over the fence, and the lillies have flowered to a beautiful dark pink colour.

It has gotten hotter and hotter and Mr Bee has gotten stickier and stickier so it was time to get the washing basket out to have a cool down.

Reading Jane Austen on the Kindle with Auntie Bonny

Washing hands and stealing the Swarfega from Papa

Playing cars with Iain, big kiddie

Someone got very muddy feet, thanks to Papa fixing the car and tinkering in the garage. There are black footprints all over the place! His feet were washed about 3 times, they are oil stained for good I think!
We all enjoyed an al-fresco chinese around the table which was just lovely. Mr Bee really enjoyed himself, chomping on a piece of duck!

Then as the sun went down (shhh! sleeping!) we carried on playing in the garden, as it was so pleasant out there. We were singing and Auntie Bonny taught Mr Bee a new song about owls.

Despite having a nap at about 5:30, we still need to all get an early night ready for Sophie-Mae's Christening in the morning!

Quiet Weekend

This weekend we have been;

Obsessed with a certain Bee teeshirt! (Louie not me!)

 Eating breakfast in the kitchen, on the stool, like a big boy

Still missing Papa Bee a lot, he is having fun working at V festival, so far, we have heard that he has seen Kids in Glass Houses, Florence and Jessie J, we are jealous little bees! Another week and a bit and he will be home.
Time for an early night I think, snuggle down and watch a film I think!
