Happy Birthday Spud!

     

The Curragh Races and a dog!

 The Curragh Races was great fun for the children, as always. They spent an hour in the playground, had their faces painted, even Spud had shamrock painted on his cheek. They went on the bouncy castles and had cornettos. We also had lunch in the Champagne Bar! Posh, eh! I had a Caesar Salad and [...]

While you are waiting…

  ……..for my daily post, I thought I’d link you up to a few blogs I’ve been reading. Firstly, this is a great idea for a post.  Throw them out!    Antique Mommy always has a funny story to tell! I’ve recently added Its a Schmitty Life. I read it every day now. I think this [...]

It was a lovely day!

 We had a great day yesterday. We packed a picnic and headed off to a lake in the next town. The children loved feeding the swans and ducks, (my eldest was nibbling on stale croissants while she thought I wasn’t looking!)   Then we went to a playground in Kildare town. Through the Curragh Plains [...]

Taking it easy

               Enough of all that organising! Having a rest today, I’ll  be here for a while surfing and blog-hopping until the children ask , “What are we doing today?” (Must put parcel tape over their mouths!)   I would have loved to have gone away this weekend, but hubby only has Sunday off. Who would [...]

Shopaholic!

  I heard the front door close at 6.30 this morning. It was my husband, the strange thing is, he always gives me a kiss before he goes to work, so I found it odd that a) I didn’t get the kiss and b) He didn’t tell me he was leaving for work so early. So, [...]

Man and Boy

 I love this pic. I asked Santa for another camera because my son put my digital one in the bath! I’ve missed it so much. All those moments I’ve been unable to capture since he decided it needed a good wash!

Who’s the boss in this house?

  I’ve just been handed an agenda for the day by my 10yr old. She says I have to get off the computer and have some family time! So the plan is, to go for a walk by the river, collect leaves for her Nature Table in the classroom, visit the local cafe for a [...]

Domesticated…

 *I wish I’d have had my camera this morning. My little boy (now 2) devoured a little pot of yogurt. He stuck his face in it and came up with a very messy complexion and a big grin. These are the moments I cherish. The pic here is a few months ago when he decided to [...]

Happy Birthday!

 He’s two tears old today! But ask him his age and he’ll tell you he’s eight, or he might even let out a roar. He thinks he’s a monster!  We opened his card and pressie this morning, in my bed. We were all cosy and happy……till his sisters started scrapping over who had what bits [...]
