More football...

Well the football season is back up and running and the Leigh ramblers Under 8 Tigers had their 3rd match of the season at home today.

Nicholas played in goal the whole match today which was kind of good as he had injured his foot playing football at school with the Year 5 &6's on Friday and kind of not as he tends to take the responsibility of the team winning or loosing personally...

They put up a fight, but Trinity Youth Lions were just too good and they lost the game after drawing their first match and winning their 2nd match so far this season.

Lee was on a football coaching course this weekend, so Simon and Mike took training yesterday, but with Lee being absent, the boys all pushed the boundaries to the max.  All but Nicholas, I'm proud to say and was even prouder when he was awarded "Man of the Match" today :)

An entire current team photo call rounded the afternoon off nicely.

Boing!!!!!

One of my friends was having a bit of a clear out the other day and kindly donated two race horse space hoppers to us..

The boys in particular had such fun racing each other.. and falling off!!!

Thank you so much Sue Davis!!!

Back to School II

I suddenly realised that I hadn't uploaded any other photos of the kids first day back to school... so...

 Pre-departure with Daddy

 Pre-departure with Mummy

Alex has always been the sensitive one and although used to going back to school, he wasn't looking forward to this year as he doesn't like his teacher and is still having a few playground issues... love my big boy so much :)

Nicholas on the other hand, takes things all in his stride!  Now in Yr3 and Key Stage 2 playground him and his buds - Jack MacCardle, Freddie Knight, Jack Duce & Joesph Prescott just got stuck in when they came across a basketball!

After seeing the boys in, it was Cassandra's turn to start in "big School"... she'd been looking forward to it, but was still very apprehensive...

 Her Teacher, Mrs Clayton is lovely and she was happy to go in and find her peg, seat and see what was going on in her class.

 Even more so when she saw her "bestest friend ever" - Kaylah!

S is for School....

I found a new blog with a challenge that I could enter a school layout that I recently did of Alexander and his Yr3 teacher Mrs Ambrose..

Still time to enter as closing date isn't until 30th September!

SWAT - Drill Challenge 15

SWAT's Drill Challenge #15 was to create a layout using the 3 "'S's" - stitching, stamping and spraying/splatting"!

I used a florish mask and sprayed glimmer mist on to my background, fake stitched around the edges and stamped between the photos of my gorgeous boy Nicholas..

If you want to enter the challenge, you have until 28th September to do so:

I'm so excited - I've been asked to be a guest designer for September on one of my favourite scrapbook challenge sites - Colourful Creations!!!

I'm thrilled and honoured that my layouts are considered good enough to be thought of to inspire others for a challenge.

Bring on my sketch!!!

First day back...

Well I didn't sleep very well this morning, being awake since 2am.. and the kids were all up, dressed and had their photos taken in readiness for their first day back..

Lee went into work late, so he could see the kids into school too and thus he still has other first day photos on his camera which I'll upload later, but for now... so very proud of my brood :)
