Mummy, can you take a photo

Bobbie set this line up.

Amy scavenged two Shloer bottles to make the Mary and Joseph - entirely of her own invention.

Chatsworth Christmas Fair

I had such a lovely day at the Chatsworth Christmas Fair with Anna and her boys. My mum and dad also came across with a group of workers from the temple. Amy was in school and Bobbie at playschool. We had a fun little trip.

Dad joining in with Joseph's bells.

 Gorgeous boy!

Jolly Joseph.

Thanks for the leg up dad! Isaac looks rather amused.

We had a right laugh watching President Murray climbing on and off.

I love seeing Joseph so happy to be with everyone.

Joseph eats and superheroes

Joseph has joined us at the table and has discovered a talent for eating. 

Amy reads 'Funnybones' to us.

Don't mess!

Swanky Franks

When we moved to Sheffield, the chap who we bought our house from gave us a voucher to use at one of his restaurants. Nearly 18 months later we finally got round to using it and had a fun evening stuffing our faces with burgers. Yum!

Heeley City Farm Teresa Thursday

Bob and I had a lovely time exploring Heeley City Farm before meeting Teresa and her friend Hilary. I can't believe I hadn't been before, it might be small but they've certainly fit a lot in. There was plenty to keep me entertained and even more for toddlers.

Good job the bar was in the way, he was a bit too grumpy for my liking and tried to head butt me! 

Happy bunny.

Bonfire Night

Great evening at the Dyson's for the ward bonfire party. It seemed like about 100 people turned up to the party. The kids enjoyed the sparklers and watching the fireworks together.

A fun Tuesday

On the bus with Amy's class on our way to the Crucible to sing with Ensemble 360 to be recorded for their latest show, Crazy Creatures. Take a look at the webpage for the show. There's a fun video with Polly Ives which the kids used before going to learn the words to the music and the actions for dancing. http://www.musicintheround.co.uk/event.php?id=627 Bobbie was at playschool, so just Joseph came along with me. Joseph had a lovely time being fussed over by lots of little girls. It was a lovely little school trip, the kids behaved beautifully (imagine thirty, five year olds crammed on a public bus), and the music was fantastic, a really fun ensemble.

Later on we had the Sister missionaries over for food. Joseph was happy as always, to see his favourite sisters.

Geocaching in the forest of Bowland

 We found a little geocaching circuit in Abbeystead that we wanted to try on the way to the temple.

We managed to find about six of the geocaches.

It was a lovely little circular walk with lots of variety in the landscape and interesting surprises.

Happy Birthday Dan

A bit of a wetter day for Dan's 31st. We decided to head to the beach for the day. There is a reason Cumbria is not known for its beaches. We spent an unusual day on Walney Island.

The boy can sleep anywhere!
