Beaches, building, singing and birthdays

Well I guess I should start at the beginning! We've had some really lovely weather over that last few weeks. Sunshine and clear skies but a certain chill in the air! Last Sunday as one of those days so after Church we decided to head off to Seaham to watch the waves. Now that I've discovered a quick way to get there I plan on spending more time at the beach. It was freezing so we didn't stay as long as we planned but it was good to get some fresh air!

Notice how cold it looks at the bottom of the cliffs! As the tide was in there were quite alot of fishermen there. I was quite suprised by how many actually.

As the weathers been better Eric came over this week to make our raised beds out of the decking we took up. Emmaleigh was very keen to give him a hand. Can't wait fot them to be finished so I can get planting.

Last week wasn't as hectic as it usually is but the weekend certainly made up for it. On Sat morning Chris and I had our Strengthening Marraiges workshop followed by the kids Primary activity, followed by a party for Abbs. That was a long day!

Sunday was Church but in the evening Emmaleigh and Aimmes school choir were singing at the Empire in the school choir competition. As they needed to be there early it ment that Chris and I had a very quiet afternoon. I can't remember the last time we were able to have a nap together during the day! Anyway the singing was amazing. They sang Amazing Grace and Calafornia Dreaming. We weren't suprised that they remain the winners of the primary schools, narrowly missing out to St Roberts for the overall winners. Our schools ticket allocation was up in the gods so we were all feeling a little giddy by the end of the evening.

After picking the kids up and getting home it was a very late night. Monday was Hollies birthday so there was no lie in. We just had a bit of a chill day and a birthday tea. Can't believe she's 2 already!

This morning was Abbs nursery trip to the soft play-(the same place one as Sat party) Hollie got to go too, so they had plenty of fun playing with all their friends. I have a school meeting tonight so I guess it never lets up.
