What! No! Really?

Yes it is true my little boy Lucas turned 7 today. I still can't believe it and it has gone by so fast. There were some hard times and at times these seemed to out weigh the good. It was so worth it!

I am so proud of the boy that he is and looking forward to seeing the man he will become. He lights up the room with his smile, he has so much energy (constantly going 100 mph! Well until it comes to homework that is.), is so kind (would hate to hurt anyones feelings), sensative (which is both good and bad, trust me I know) and just a complete star.

Happy Birthday Lucas!

This evening we will be mostly making up his new Lego sets - yay!

Oh and I will be back tomorrow, the last 2 weeks have been a bit hectic!

Also forgot to tell you Lucas got an outstanding school report. I even had a little blub (cos I was so proud!), I seem to cry at almost anything these days - even got a little choked writing this.

Parenthood

Parenthood is the hardest thing you will do in your life but also by far the most rewarding. I love the Steve Martin film so much it really should be a classic. If you are a parent and haven't seen it, you must! From trying to take photos to kids dressing up naked but for a cowboy hat and holster. It is hilarious and you should own a copy for when you have had a trying day with the kids.

The reason I was thinking about this film is because I have a parents evening for my 6 year old tonight and I am very nervous. His last parents eve was pretty upsetting, I ended up blubbing! I don't really agree with the way they grade the kids at such a young age and am not bothered about him being the top of the class. What really upset me was that he got D for both effort and attitude. I know that he has improved as he got an achievement award recently for having improved so much. I can't help being nervous though. I am just hoping if I cry this time they will be tears of joy.

I was watching clips of the film Parenthood this morning and found out (I am a little slow when it comes to new TV shows) that NBC have done an adaptation of the 1989 film. The first season is now on DVD and you can watch the episodes here. I hope its good! Sounds like it should be, does any one know when it will air in the UK? Or have I missed it?

NBC Parenthood

Another plus is that Peter (Eye candy) Krause from Six Feet Under is in it.

Wish me luck!

Snowing again! Yay!

Ok so I am a little slow with the snow photos. Here is my eldest Lucas on Tuesday at the park where we had lots of fun in the snow.

This is Isaac, jumping off snow mountain. Well its more like a mound really, but we do like to use our imagination.

The snow man, I must admit we cheated some one else had made a giant snow ball and we just added a head.

Lucas giving the snowman some arms .Yes, they are a little on the small side but we didn't tell him that. After all he went to the effort of hunting for sticks and was so proud of himself.

The hat and scarf would not be my choice but were kindly loned by one of Lucas' friends. I love this photo all the boys together, mine are the two in the middle.

There has been even more snow today! Another trip to the park on the way how from school, I think and more photos too!

Mirror, Mirror.....

Wow! I can't believe my luck, my bunting was featured in the Mirror last Thursday (Jan 29th).

Here is the full page,  its such a lovely photo too. I had to send my bunting off for a photo shot, after which it was kindly returned to me. I was told it would be in on the 22nd so have been pestering my local shop every day for a peek at the paper.

I also had to add this photo of the robot Lucas (Age 4) made. It is Burn:e from Wall:e. I think it is fab, he is so imaginative with his Lego.

Some bunting in progress, I have had a few orders thanks to the publicity.

Want to check out my workspace? The very talented Lauren will be featuring some piccies on her blog this week. I plan to blog about her and something I have recently purchased from her shop. It is a gift for a special someone.

Bye for now, B x
