Our cheeky little monkey

Last week Kieran and I went on our jolly's for a couple of days to my dads. We always have so much fun when we go there..and there is a lovely lake nearby where we can go for a walk and feed the ducks, however I must admit I was dreading it a little bit as Kieran does not like to sit in his pram, nor will he hold my hand..so you can imagine my nerves where gone at the thought of a walk around the lake. None the less, off we set, and all goes well at first:) But then I resorted to a mothers best friend when trouble started brewing.. BRIBERY..!! Kieran sat lovely in his pram eating an ice cream as we strolled to the lake..with only a short stop off at the garden centre on the way. on our way out I needed the loo, and could see a toy's'r' us across the raod..so I popped in..and boy am I glad I did..for their in all it's glory ..was the most fantastic invention I had ever seen... TADAAA!!! Now, I have seen these contraptions for years, but never understood the point...But that was before I had a Kieran....These are the most marvelous inventions EVER and made our stroll around the lake and feeding the ducks such an enjoyable day. Kieran loves it..and we walk to the shops everyday and he sits like a King all the way :)

Does he not just ooooze mischeiviousness???

Kieran loves his shoes..It's the first thing he gets in the morning, and wants them on. hence lots of pictures of him in his vests..and shoes:)

Kieran is always up to something..usually no good! And he is always on the go..His latest fad is the ash bucket and lid (a bucket to put the ash from the fire in when cleaning it)

And I can tell you...it makes quite a noise when banged..!!

Kieran having a little rest before all systems go..again..!

Awwww butter would'nt melt..!!

I thought it was a bit quiet...and that is NOT a good sign...I found Kieran at the side of the couch..with one of his brothers ds lite games...ripping the cover....someone will not be a happy chappy when he comes home :(

This ice cream was not for bribery...just for a yummy treat, and boy did he enjoy it..a whole cornetto :)

Kieran certainly keeps me on my toes..and there is never a dull moment. I often joke about putting him up for sale on E-bay..but I would'nt really swap him for anything else in the world :)

Have a great weekend :)

A thursday in Ølveland....

Well I have'nt been very active on my blogg the last few weeks..but I will get better :)
Here is a glimps of what we have been up to today :)


Benjamin enjoying a piece of apple...one of the few "healthy" options Benjamin likes :)

As the kids are off school today, and James was feeling a bit poorly, Benjamin was bored and just getting up to no good, we decided it was the perfect day for Benjamin and I to bake some iced buns...yum yumo :)

Benjamin made the dough all by himself..believe it or not! I helped to roll them out and take them in and out of the hot oven, otherwise for the most part Ben done it by himself.

He loves to bake.

We had a lovely visit from my sister Geraldine and her husband Paul..who both got to enjoy a yummy bun..and a nice cuppa tea:)

As I was in the shop yesterday paying for my shopping...I could smell these deliciously fragrant strawberrys that where perfectly arranged by the checkout till ..I usually dont succumb to pressure purchasing out of principle...However on this occasion..I did..!!

And they did not disappoint, their flavour was every bit as yummy as I imagined...and I'm going back for more tomorrow!!

Have a great thursday, whatever your doing!!
