Boys New Suits + Family Pictures

The boys have been asking for suits for ages so when I got a discount code through for M&S we decided to get the a suit each for Church. They look so smart and grown up! We also managed to get a couple of family pictures today too.

Evie's 3rd Birthday

Evie has been so excited for her birthday and finally the day arrived. Evie was up at 5.30am (helped by the clocks changing) telling everyone "its my birthday"

She patiently waited for everyone to arise before ripping off the wrapping paper of her presents. I'm not sure how much of a wise decision the peppa pig jigsaw book was as I can see myself having to put the book back together many times a day.

Evie had her own personal birthday cake, a muffin decorated by Richard as we ran out of time to bake a cake. She loved it !

The beloved pink helmet!

I'd like to introduce to everyone the beloved pink helmet....Lucys latest obsession!
She seems to be in love with it and wears it around the house and in the yard.She also likes to drag Vicks helmet around at the same time. I wish I could get inside her little head and figure out what she's thinking!

Barely keeping up!

Crazy things are happening in this house these days. Yesterday I found my i-pod in the dishwasher and Vick lost her shoes and then found them in the cutlery drawer. Clothes are being pulled out of drawers and spewn over the bedroom floor and toys are in the toilet! Stuff we never dreamed was possible are happening all the time.WE are amazed that a little beast could cause such destruction and mayhem.
Yes our little Luciana is destroying the place but she is so cute that its hard to get too irritated with the little lady.
We are getting ready for the winter months and are in the process of installing a new wood stove. Building a new fireplace has been a long process, mainly because I am ridiculousley bad at this kind of stuff......but thanks to Bob and Charlie I didn't have to do that much.
Our Dog Toula has moved in with another family. She now enjoys running around on an acre of land with 3 other dogs. She's currently in Canada on vacation with her new owners....thats how much she's loved.
We are getting used to one income now. Food shouldn't be a problem since a large deer and its friend are residing in our back yard. They've been there a week now. I may be tempted to borrow a gun and freeze her, but not quite yet. We'll see how bad things get!
We are getting geared up for our trip to England in November. Lucy has her passport. She is officially an American citizen...hhmmmmmmmmm!.......maybe we'll file for that dual citizenship..that way at least she'll have the chance to go over and learn how to drive properly!..Enjoy the pics!
