I Love my Mum!

Family Friday

As usual, being Friday I am off to Mum and Dads this afternoon. This particular Friday has been in the planning since Christmas! Are we playing games....nnnoooooooooo....Not this week...Why??? Because tonight is.......
CHICK FLICK NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!
wwooooooo hhooooooo
So, the plan is, we fix dinner ( Tuna steaks, Baked potatoes and salad), then after dinner and chatting with Dad, he gets relegated upstairs to the computer room so we can have a GIRLS ONLY Chick Flick night!



We have the DVD of Mamma Mia all ready, We have selected which polishes we are having on our finger and toe nails, Mum has Butterkist popcorn at the ready, and I'm taking my sewing, mum has her knitting, just in case our fingers start itching!
REALLY looking forward to it, I must confess to already having seen Mamma Mia. Although I absolutely LOVE Abba music, I was a little disappointed with the film, thought it was a little silly, but that's just my personal opinion ( Remember Guys,I'm an avid Big Brother fan, that means I have only 1 brain cell!!)
Today the weather is absolutely atrocious! Its extremely windy and raining hard, I'm so glad I don't need to go out today, apart from later on, to pick Ryan up from school.Turned really really cold too :-( Not looking good for a nice family walk in the country tomorrow!
Ah well, Best get stitching my lighthouse for my SAL project, I'm back at work on Monday so need to make the most of this time!
Ya'll have a fabulous weekend!

Golfer of the week!!!

 

You can park a bus in that!!

Had a lovely day today, Met with my Best Friend Carmel for coffee and gossip! Was great to catch up and be in the land of the living again! And more importantly, she filled me in on all the work gossip ready for my return next week!
Ryan had Beavers tonight and had a little Chinese New Year Celebration, How cute is that!
He also lost ANOTHER tooth!!! 2 in less than a week! At this rate the Tooth fairy will be filing for Bankruptcy!
The tooth he lost today was one of his front top teeth, the other one was already gone, so he now has a HUGE gap, of course, being a boy, this is just the best!He can stick his tongue through the gap, and whistle through it! Marvellous! I was just thankful that at last the tooth was out, It was hanging on a thread all day and he was wobbling it and making me feel sick! eeewwww
Mind the Gap folks!!


Tomorrow Uncle Mark is coming round in the Evening so of course Ryan is made up! ( And so am I if truth be known!)

Enjoy!!! ..x..

Baby Bro!

Today I was a busy bee, This morning managed a little stitching as well as washing ironing cleaning and prepping for dinner, Dinner at my Mums, How did I get roped into cooking!!
I did my tried and Tested Cottage pie, well, actually... when I say MY, Its' loosely based on Gordon Ramseys recipe ( Hey any excuse to look at pictures of Gordon huh!)
As well as Minced beef and onions, I add grated carrot and copious amounts of worcestershire sauce to spice up the gravy.Then I add grated cheese in the mashed potato top, and sprinkled on top too, before browning under the grill.
And whats the reason for all this? My baby brother was visiting!
My Brother, Mark, is in the Royal Air Force, based in Oxfordshire, so we don't get to see him and his family as often as we would like.
This week he is undertaking a training course only 40 minutes drive away from Liverpool, so will be spending each night at my Mums.
So tonight Ryan and went for dinner,I of course, TOOK dinner! It was great to have Mark there with my Parents, and Ryan just LOVES his Uncle!!
Mark is both a Karate and Kickboxing Champion,as well as a teacher of various Martial Arts, he also represents England in the Karate World Championships and in his "day job" in the RAf, works on Helicopters ; what 7 year old boy WOULDN'T be awestruck by an Uncle like that!!

They played Golf and did normal "Fighty" boy stuff! Ryan has been so full of it since he came home! Good for him to have such a good role model!


This is Mark and my Sis-in-law Charlie (Charlene) on their Wedding day
We hope to be seeing Mark on Wednesday or Thursday also :-)

Sunday with my Family

Today I've had a lovely day at home with Frank and Ryan, now I'm feeling a lot better I'm able to be more active with my family again!
This morning Ryan made his first Cheese toastie! One of his weekend homework assignments was to follow written instructions, so I gave him simple instructions for a cheese toastie and he made it himself in our "Baby George"!
I think giving kids confidence to cook is a great idea and one I'm very keen to pursue!
I got up early, 2 hours before the boys, and got all the ironing and cleaning out of the way, prep'd the veg for dinner and got myself showered and ready. Then spent the whole day with my wonderful boys! We played on the wii, practised golf,had a lovely family walk,and settled down to watch the Merseyside Derby! For those of you not from Britain, that means both of our Local Liverpool Football teams ( Liverpool and Everton) play against each other. Ryan is a Liverpool Supporter and Frank is an Evertonian!
Luckily for me, the score was 1-1!!

Phew!!

Am now watching MY Tv programme! Dancing on Ice, before I bath Ryan!
Really enjoyed today! Hope ya'll had a great weekend too!
