Wednesday!

Well no blogging for me yesterday... we had friends over for the evening as they had been away to America for three weeks. Was so nice to see them! They brought me back a lovely coaster saying 'Tea makes my heart tingle' its super nice and these.......
my two favorite flavours....so much more exciting then the chocolate and Strawberry ones we have here! They are Amazing!!
Grace only goes to school in the afternoon on a Wednesday and because Daddy was at home we decided to go on bikes... Daddy was walking, Grace on her bike and Ella on the back of mine! I HAD to take pictures.

What cuties i have!  It was also open session this afternoon which means we can go and see her for half an hour before she leaves school to see what she is getting up to...When we got there she was making a 'flower garden' with plant pots, sand and artificial flowers. ( so cute)
I did a bit of sewing this afternoon...a ribbon squeaker square with matching ribbon blanket for a lady who is having a baby girl ....
Have you seen the latest 'Mollie makes'?
If not grab a copy its full of lovelies.....including one of my adverts :)

Happy wednesday :) x

Back from Camping!

We got back today from a lovely camping trip to Blue dolphin holiday park in Filey.
It was brilliant...such lovely weather.
Me and Mr B went up first and got the tent up and everything put in its place while the girls spent the first part of the day with Nanna and Grandad ( my in-laws)
While we were waiting for them to arrive we had a game of pool...my first ever and I think Mr B was quite impressed.
Then we went to the cliffs and had a walk near there and Dave was a bit more daring then me! It was beautiful there.....such a view!!

Our home from home for 3 nights...our 8 berth Vango Colorado 800dlx. Its MASSIVE!!

We love it!! The girls were so excited to see it all done for them... Daddy did have to leave some of the guy ropes for Grace and Ella to put the tent pegs in.
The first day we just had a wonder round to see what we could do in the area and then went to see the entertainment. The girls loved it....

We had a good nights sleep and the camping part of the holiday park was so busy!! And it just didnt get dark.. It wasnt even dark at 2.30 am when i nipped to the toilets for a wee. We got up in the morning and had bacon and sausage, it was AMAZING!! Then we went swimming and it was so much fun. The first time we have been in ages. Ella loved it...and Grace was so confident! After letting off some steam
we went to Scarbourgh and it was Armed forces day which we knew nothing about but it was really good...great sunny day and then we went on to the beach which i REALLY loved! So did the girls.
We were also treated to a airplane display by the blades. Her are some pics of our day.......





Chubby toes... in the sand! ACE!





 Love Pictures of beach huts so i HAD to take my own picture of this!
We went back to the Holiday park and let the kids let off some steam and Grace did her favorite thing...collect as many tickets as she could...i think the girls got a little over a thousand in then end. The got some disney princess stickers and Disney princess books..they love them! 
They also did a little bit of dancing with Grandad as there was a line dancing competition in one of the rooms and the lady was teaching people for a laugh in between. 


We got up the next day and had another swimming session and Ella and Grace were so confident and we had so much fun. Then Daddy and Grandad went and hired a cart with 4 seats so they could drive the girls round the holiday park! I would of loved to of joined it but it look very hard work and the heat was unbearable as it was.

 Once they got back we want to a farm park and the girls played for a bit and fed various animals...Ella fed them with her hand but Grace threw the food in as so isnt too keen on getting up close!


We went to Filey the next day ....it was beautiful!! I am going to HAVE to go again it was so nice! There was a paddling pool there and the girls loved it..we didnt know about it so didnt have any swim things so pants it was. I had spares with me so it was all good. I got in aswell because i was roasting.


We enjoyed our last night there and woke up in the morning feeling like we were in an oven. We started packing up to come home.....







On the way home the girls slept......

Were home now and Camping at 19 weeks pregnant was fab. The girls want to go again this year but we will see how big I get. Everything is in its place and ALMOST all the washing has been done. oh and i have terrible tan lines!! phew!

So much for summer!

Today has been a strange day weather wise..one minute sun and one minute rain! ( this has been happening for about 2 weeks now) which makes it hard to decide what to wear! I either end up roasting or soaked!!
Me, Mr B and Ella all took Grace to Nursery today then went to a nearby town and i got some sewing supplies. (well bias tape)
Then some Magazines from a market stall...all that were this months.. they were £5 for 5.
2 baby magazines, Sew hip magazine, Knit Today and Lets knit (for my mum)
the actual price they should be was £21! Total bargain!
Ella and Grace did a bit of 'crafting' this afternoon....they were making necklaces with funky shoelaces and beads. Only managed to get a pic of Ella because Grace was running around while doing it.....
I also did a bit of crafting.... i made some Bunting (and order from my online shopwww.gracellasewing.co.uk)
 I love making bunting....
Me and the girls had a girls night tonight as daddy was at work until late...we had baths and hairs washed and i ended up soaked as the girls were squirting me with bath toys.. they wanted their nails painted so i thought i would let them and couldnt resist temptation and gave them both a 'trim'
eeeeekkkk!! I hope it looks okay in the morning. haha !
