The Emerald Isle

This was ok. We would meet up! No public transport would not let us down! No I would not get lost driving! Yes I would manage four children, baggage and buggy to the terminal via the car park and transfer bus. Not worried done this once before! So I walked bravely and confidently in Gods ability alone at pulling all of this together!

Of course we did rendezvous successfully and with ample time, to enjoy the benefits of shopping whilst queueing for security for 50 minutes! Not that I bemoan the need for stringent security - but please get organised and efficient at handling half term holiday.

Fly Away

So much to catch up about but oh so little time!

We are off tomorrow on a short break for the Autumn mid term.

Giants Causeway beckons. A place I have always dreamed of going. I know we shall be experiencing some excellent company, food and relaxing times with family and friends. A chance to enjoy and experience a deeply spiritual time.

28 Sleeps to GO

No it is not Christmas and it is not yet my birthday. 28 Sleeps until our holiday!! Yippee oh how we need one.

It is no secret I have never flown before  and part of me is a teensy weensy bit poo poo scared... the most of me is just childishly excited about going on an adventure. Who knows we could be future stars on Airline!

Let it Snow......!

Entering the weekend already feeling exhausted. The only thing that  cheered me was the prospect of shopping. The high was quickly superseded realising the family of boys were coming too! Humph! Never mind family day. It just means I get a girly trip another time. The sort where we roam and roam not wanting anything specific, but just the need to look in case you may spot a bargain that you must capture.

Passport Mayhem

My family will be pleased to know we are getting a step closer to flying. I have been abroad only twice and both times had immense travel sickness but I have never taken off the ground in an aeroplane.  I am so needing a good sunshine break we are booking the holiday so need the passports.

We are in the process of form filling and photograph taking....  Gggrrrrrr! Look at some of the pics! I mean How? Why and poop! How can you photgraph a toddler that is not smiling and sitting still, and not showing teeth? Do they care what extremes we parents have to reach to achieve their directive. I can understand and fully support the guidelines but how can a 20 month old be a threat to security. Maybe if I think for long enough maybe I will see a reason but for babies? Is this for real? The best shot of him almost straight faced and he was wearing a patch of chocolate on his cheek!
