My Wonderful Week

My sincere thanks for all your wonderful comments they were so uplifting to read.  The Christening was a wonderful day that brought our family together for  a beautiful celebration in such a stunning setting.  It was such a shame that my parents were unable to travel but we did send back photos straightaway so that they felt like they were included.  I feel blessed that they were able to enjoy their Great Grandchildren this week, we kept popping in and out so they could enjoy some of their antics.  They love to run riot in Big Grandad's garden and hide behind the shed the three dogs running wild with them.  We have such a good week of fun and laughter, the children certainly kept me busy.  It seems really quiet now that they have all gone but Lucy and the girls are heading here again on Tuesday so for now I am getting on top of the laundry and some cleaning.  I had a stroll out this morning around the car boot sale at Stickney and picked up some additions for the kitchen.

 
A pie dish which is always useful for 20p and a quiche dish for 20p also.
 
 
I had hoped to get some outdoor toys for the children but there was nothing available, I suppose everyone is looking for them.  
 
Some of the highlights of the week were everyday events but ones that were so special because two sisters were together sharing motherhood, it was joy to see the cousins enjoying each others company.
 
 
I just couldn't get enough of these two, they are growing up so quickly.  That dining table has seen all three of my daughters grow up around it, I bet it could tell a few stories.
 
We did some baking on it...
 



 
Oops!  Granny forgot the aprons.
 
That poor table also saw a lot of paint and glue this week too...
 


 
As you see we did most of our projects in the morning before getting dressed and then headed down to the beach.  We were certainly blessed with the weather, it was such a glorious week of sunshine.  We even braved the water and ate sandwiches in the park.  A glorious week that will bring back some treasured memories for many days to come.
 
See you soon.

  2. What a wonderful family time. I bet that dining table holds a lot of memories. I splashed out on a new dining table just before Lily was born and it is used for all sorts - baking, colouring, painting, play doh and even wheel building (S is a keen cyclist). Gorgeous, gorgeous babies. X

    Your bargain dishes are great too, 20p is not to be sniffed at!

  4. I'm glad you had great weather for the kids to go to the beach. Your littles are the cutest and loved the writing on the bottom of the bench (?)

  5. I love seeing your family at your home and all the fun you have. That's neat that your table has been the same since your girls were little. I have the old oak 5 legged table that my grandparents used so it's really seen some family times. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

  9. Sounds like a wonderful time with your family. Love the pie and quiche plate. I have a pie plate similar but has peach as the design; it's one of my favorites. Take care and enjoy your weekend. Heather
