Birthday Girl 5/11

Remember rembember the 5th November! Yes it's birthday time again and I started the day opening my cards and presents in bed with Andrew and my two beautiful daughters.
Andrew had taken the day off work which meant we could go out for the day.
We decided to go to Scarborough which was a good choice as we had a great day.
After arriving it was nearly lunch time so we walked into the town centre and went to our old favourite pizza hut. Taking it in turns to look after Nell and then attack the buffet lunch was a leisurely affair which was perfect as it rained whilst in the restaurant but stopped bythe time we had finished. Isla tucked into pizza pasta and salad and was rewarded with a balloon which lasted all of ten seconds once we got outside and she let go of it!
The sun was shining so we took a walk along the beach. Nell wanted to be out of the pram and enjoyed the fresh air being carried.

We stopped to take some photos to mark the occasion before heading off home.
The birthday celebrations were rounded of by me and Andrew enjoying a lovely chinese and bottle of champagne whilst the girls slept soundly (thank goodness).
So thats it for another year, big birthday next time so hope you're all saving!

Halloween

It's halloween and Isla has dressed up as a witches black cat to scare the neighbours. Not that she looks very scary just really cute! Complete with a pumpkin bucket she went trick or treating with Matthew and Rebecca and they were dressed up too.
















Isla soon got the hang of knocking on the doors and getting the treats! So we didn't disturb anyone who wasn't into Halloween we only called on people we knew and those who had pumpkins or decorations up. Isla was a bit shy at first but was then taking handfuls of sweets for her bucket. Don't worry though we won't let her eat all that chocolate and sweets Mummy and Daddy have promised to help out.
There were loads of people dressed up and wandering around. Halloween has really taken off over the last few years and lots of people were having Halloween parties too.


When the night was over we were back home and Isla showed Daddy all the goodies she had received. Daddy had stayed in to look after Nell but I'm sure when Isla & Nell both go next year he will want to go too you know how he likes to join in these things (Not!)
