Bitterly sweet sides of life.

Jay is going through a growth spurt again! I can't believe how much he has grown in such a short time. I said to Mike we'd be better off buying his school uniform shortly before he goes back to school or it's not going to fit him, he really is growing like a weed lol. I'll be looking for some more trousers over the next couple of days, and I might get the sewing machine out and make a couple of these pairs into long shorts, since they're in good condition still.
Jay also did really well in his achievements last term too, he's received a medal for everything achieved in year 6, a certificate and pin badge for a cycling course, and he's also got two certificates, a rosette, two pin badges and two photographs for his horse riding with the RDA. He has pretty much worn the rosette and medal on a daily basis, he's done really well for himself and I'm very proud of him. 
He's really done us all very, very proud :) 


Andrew is teething, he's had 5 teeth through in the matter of a short few weeks, the rest at the front all look as though they are on the gum line, I've been told about some really good teething powders, they're natural too and an absolute godsend.. they even stop upset tummies that they often get with teething, I really don't know where I'd be without them. But I'll still be glad when it's all over for him (Lots of love and huggles all round in the meantime too) x


Well as for the me bit, I've got my new soap molds, and I'll be cooking up some soaps tomorrow lol, I've promised Kellie I'll send her some too.. I'll post some pics when I can :) 
I've also got my new scrap book, I've had it for a couple of weeks, the front is all set up, I'll start some pages when I get a little quiet time at a decent hour, (But right now it's 2am). I'm really looking forward to getting all my good memories into my new 'good memories book'. It's something we can work on together.
I also want to have a blast at making a quilt out of Andrews outgrown clothes, it will make a cute memory blanket too - it's just a case of getting my marbles and the time for everything. 
Anyway I'll update as soon as I can with piccys and the what-nots as right now I am so ready for my bed lol
have a great day/Night.


Take care as always
