Dylan's 10th birthday party

This year for Dylan's 10th Birthday we decided to go with Movie and Pizza, we did this for his 8th birthday and it was a big hit! Last year he didn't want a party, but this year we insisted! and I'm so glad we did! Boy did they have an amazing time! It was so cute, he was absolutely delighted, we celebrated his first decade in style!

Dylan's party invitation

Some of the gang after the movie, they went to see the new Hunger Games movie! I did a little research before to make sure it was suitable, and it was fine, they thoroughly enjoyed it!

Then it was time for pizza!

Dylan's birthday cake which my cousin Sian made, Dylan's God mother - she never misses a birthday, and always makes him a cake! Since Dylan loves doughnuts.... he got a giant one for his cake!

Sian and myself enjoying some quiet time when the kids were eating the lovely cake she made!

Mommy& Dylan birthday selfie before the big day!

Poor Derek was run ragged so we got no birthday pictures with him! 

Dylan had a brilliant day, and it was lovely to see him have such a great time. I can't believe he is 10! We love you so much, and hope you had a great day!

Lauren's New Look

My brave little girl has been asking to get her ears pierced for so long but I've been putting it off forever, so this time when she asked I thought she would be old enough and we said she could. She was so brave, she was a little wobbly afterwards, but as soon as she looked in the mirror she was delighted. I went to a baby and toddler hair shop to have them done, they are much more expensive to have done here, but I wasn't taking any chances. So far we have had no issues with them.... so well worth the extra money to get the solid gold earrings. And she is one happy little girl...

Delighted!

Halloween 2014

This Halloween was so much fun! Dylan and Lauren had an absolutely brilliant time! Lauren decided that she was going to change from Princess Belle to a vampire witch! She absolutely loved dressing up and striking the poses! Dylan wanted to stay as a Zombie Hunter, he just wanted a lot more face paint! It's a lot harder to get him to have a photo taken!

 

Here's my kiddies on Halloween night....

We painted our scary pumpkin Black, Lauren wanted to keep hers 'pumpkin colour,'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then the kids spent a few days at my parent's house in Waterford on their mid - term break from school! They went back today, and they said they had the best week ever!
