Bye Bye Half Term

I think they should make half terms longer! It was all gone too quickly and we were back to getting up early (in the dark), defrosting the car and getting to work and school as quickly as possible. 

Last week was so much more fun, we went to the cinema, baked and built things like this...

I had time to cook properly...like this steaming hot pan of chilli...

We went looking for Santa List ideas...(I miss having little girls sometimes!)

Even the cat was far more relaxed last week...

Roll on Christmas!

Anyway, one thing that did make monday more exciting was that fact that it was Bonfire Night. Even better, it didn't rain! So we all went along to the local display at Deeside Leisure Centre and put up with the really annoying 'DJ'. It was all worth it as the display was really good and seemed to go on and on for ages! We even managed to get right to the front too (not that it really matters for the fireworks obviously but it was more entertaining while we waited for them).  I didn't take pictures of the fireworks (they never seem to capture the magic!) but I did get a lovely picture of Child #1 and 3 here...
