Fireworks and Freedom

Last night was the dullest wettest most disappointing bon-fire night a 5 year could ever have. Georgia spent half of it on a bus going to the Doctors at 6pm and then having to watch it out of her bedroom window. It kind of snuck up on me and I hadn't bought any fireworks after the year of the stray one!! (another story).
I was washing up saying yes I'll take you out to look but don't forget I am poorly (sinus infection) so we won't be long and then I noticed Ria's Dad lighting theirs. They were nearly finished but she saw 3-4 and the finale of the Catherine Wheel!! So we shared our last years leftovers of sparklers with the other kids. Rubbish I know but there wasn't mush else I could do.



Today we both woke up with smiles in our hearts:) Not on our faces because we are competing to see who is the sickest still!! But today was the new car day!!!! YIPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Peter delivered the car bang on 11am, he's far more efficient than the Royal Mail. Mark went outside and did the boys thing for a couple of hours and later on he drove his Dad to the train station with an extremely excited Georgia in the back seat. Poor Georgia she is wary of driving with me as I'm always saying "have I got my phone in case we break down?"

So tonight we all thought a nice drive to experience what freedom really feels like and then Waaaa Waaaa Waaaaa...Ben cried all the way to Cleethorpes and all the way home....45 minutes of crying..not a pleasant experience. So we will have to condition him to liking the car this week as we are having a sleepover in york next week so Mark can fix Dad's PC.

If you have seen my other blog you will have looked at our old car. I hope you like this layout Mum and Dad it brings back so many happy memories. God I love scrapbooking!!!

Night Night she says with a hint of a smile on her face.........especially as Ben is so exhausted he has just had a bottle and gone back to sleep in the dark for the first time in 2 weeks!!
