Marshmallows around the fire pit

Jamie and I made a fire pit.

Cutting up some twigs for the fire pit

Philip took Jamie up the lane and they collected some branches to put on our fire pit.

Jamie got his teddies and wanted to take them for a ride on his bike, so we found a basket and tied it to his bike and made them a seat belt, and he whizzed round the garden with them, we were giggling so much!

All the years of Phil watching and reading about Bear Grylls and Ray Mears has paid off , and he lit a perfect fire for us to toast our Marshmallows!

 



Christmas starts early in our house

There is no denying it, but I adore Christmas, the build up especially! Jamie and I set off to Millets Farm to see Father Christmas arrive on his reindeers, it was magical, seeing Jamie's face when he saw him.

We met Santa's reindeers, they were beautiful

More decorations

We came home for a spot of lunch and then continued the festivities in the afternoon, we went to Notcutts Garden Centre to deliver Jamie's christmas list he had written to Father Christmas.

The end to a perfect afternoon on the swing!





Dinosaurs

Jamie has been enjoying watching "Planet Dinosaurs". He drew this picture.

Spongebob Squarepants!

Jamie has joined the Spongebob mania! He loves anything to do with him, I remember Daniel and Philip really liking him, I do not see the attraction myself, it is just a lot of silliness and shouting! (Showing my age!!)

He wanted to play with the playdough and came up with these models. I thought they were really good, but then I am biased!

Sparklers!

We did go to a big firework display at Culham and it was brilliant, the fireworks were spectacular, Jamie also met Peppa Pig and saw a magic show.

I found some sparklers in the cupboard from last year, so we went outside and had some fun! It was a last minute thing, hence he is in his pyjamas!

Holiday Entertainment

We went to watch Lazy Town

We saw the Scary Animals show, Jamie touching a snake!

I can't remember what this creepy crawlie was, but there was no way I was going to touch it!

Jamie and Daddy liked the arcades

We thought it would be fun to go for a ride on the bikes, but it was a lot harder work than we thought, but oh we did have a giggle!!
