Memory Mum: July round up

There are 2 words that sum up July for me - hot and busy.

The month started off well - the dude became a fully fledged beaver when he took his promise.

Then one night he decided to give himself a hair cut....O.M.G. Yes - that is all his hair (which he hid behind his bed - like we wouldn't notice!!!)

Rectifying the hair cut from hell!!!!

He looks so happy.

I was weeping.

End of term swimming - 400m badge for missy and 10m badge for the dude!

We had a couple of cracking weeks weather wise and enjoyed some lovely days out

All the cool mums loom band at the pub doncha know.

These Cliffs are a danger to no one!

My loves

Missy had her first school camp trip away. She managed to leave her beloved bunny behind but thankfully the lovely PGL staff kept him safe until daddy could go and rescue him. Phew.

The dude managed to sleep in some cracking positions yet again!

The kids school had a fabulous end of term/end of world cup celebration with a samba parade and performance in the park on a Friday evening. The sun was shining, the music was incredible, the wine was flowing and the sausages were a'cookin! It was such a fun and unexpected evening - the impromptu ones are usually the best kind!

But then the next day it all went a bit wrong when I got a call to say our beloved momo (my mum) had had a nasty fall and broken her shoulder and smashed her knee cap :(

I saw a lot of this bridge over the coming weeks on numerous hospital visits.

However my last trip down I encountered my first ever genuine random act of kindness - a man paid for my bridge toll for no reason at all. I can only put it down to the fact that Lauren and I were entertaining him with our singing and dancing in the traffic jam?! Thank you Mr Lovely Fiat Driver. With the money I saved on the bridge I treated the kids to ice-creams and magazines so they weren't bored in the hospital!

Sneaking in a Joe's ice cream whilst back in Swansea. The BEST ice cream in the world.
