Halloween Decor 2013

We put up our decorations by accident last night!
 
We were planning on doing it during the week but we had two new decorations to put up and we ended up decorating a lot of the downstairs!
 We still have more to do though , the kids will be here for Halloween this year but they may decide to stay down with Granny and Grandad yet, we will need to see closer to the time!
We have skeletons and spiders, Dracula, witches hats and brooms and and some pumpkin candles!
 
We are all set!
Almost....

Family update 11/10/13

So it's moving along into Autumn, the kids are settled back in their after school activities. Lauren is LOVING her Irish dancing, swimming..... eh not so much! Dylan on the other hand is flying through his classes. He is also loving being back at rugby.  It was so cute Lauren got her first pair of Irish dancing shoes, so she phoned Nanna to 'show'
 her the new shoes and her dance! The innocence!!
 
 
 
Last weekend my parents came up for a visit, we took them out to breakfast and it was amazing! the food was great. Dylan had his friend to sleep over and they were up so late! Afterwards we went for a bike ride and to the park!
 
 
 
Dylan is really enjoying school this year, and Lauren is taking to it like a duck to water, here she is doing her first homework assignment, she is also playing with her etch-a-sketch ALL the time, she hasn't put it down since we got it for her!
 
 
 
As usual it's been quite busy around here! We are heading down to Waterford to visit my parents tomorrow for the weekend and we are all really looking forward to it. Lauren was all giggly and giddy at bed time! Dylan and I stayed up late to watch our movie for movie night! It won't be long until Lauren will be staying up to watch the movies too.....
 
Look at this little face..... my favourite boy!
 
 
Here's to a lovely family weekend!

My 31st Birthday

Last week I celebrated my 31st birthday! It was a great day.... I can hardly believe my 30th was a year ago! I spent a lovely few days being spoiled by my little family.  The lovely girls in work had a gorgeous chocolate cake with '21' on it to make me feel better! My dear friend arrived with a HUGE bouquet of flowers... it was a very nice birthday.
 
I got my annual new purse and Derek is taking me for a night away in 2 weeks to celebrate. .. Complete with a spa treatment, I can't wait!
 
We were supposed to go down to my parent's house but we were having car trouble :(  so my Mom said birthday no 2 awaits me in Waterford!
 
I'm a lucky girl..... Happy Birthday to me!!!
 
 
Life is lovely when you are around the ones you love!
