This week has been super busy and filled with extremes of excitement and sadness too.
Sunday 3rd March – Beth was at her Dads until tea time, however on getting home she spent some time with Joshua singing Row Row Row Ya Boat, He loved it and I think she did too!
Monday 4th March – Lazy day for Joshua and I and we spent some time having lots of cuddles and taking photos. I love days like this.
Tuesday 5th March – We were sent a fantastic nightlight for us to review and Joshua was so excited he has spent everyday since carrying it around!
Wednesday 6th March – Joshua and I went to York for a Britmums Meetup I was so excited. We set off at just after 7.30am and had to drop Beth at my Mums as she had school then we hit the road. There was terrible fog on the way there but it was certainly worth going as we got to meet some amazing bloggers and I certainly cant wait to do it again! We even traveled on the Park and Ride and loved that too!
Thursday 7th March – Was Grandma Joan’s funeral and Ollie and I were naturally upset. The picture is of the little crystal animals he remembered as a child from visiting Grandma and these little guys are now with the us here at the Madhouse.
Friday 8th March – On our way home on Thursday the car window refused to go back up so we had to wait in for the garage to come out and collect Ollie’s car to fix the window. Meanwhile Joshua decided he was not happy playing with his toys out of the toy box, instead he wanted to play in it!
Saturday 9th March – Today I went out to check out these scarecrow dudes I bought to see if they had made a difference to the car destruction and fouling in the garden, you can read about it HERE. I am pleased to report that I think there might be a slight improvement!
I love those little crystal animals. My Gran used to collect them too. The scarecrow is too lovely to be scary but I hope it helps with the cats!
lol thanks honey, i did think it was a little too cute to scare anything too but it seems it maybe working (i wont speak too soon!)
I really love you’re photos this week and love the way you’ve set them out too.
The mix of colour photos and B&W ones work really well
Thanks so much, i was unsure about the black and white, colour mixed but thanks i am glad you like it. Thanks for popping by
what a fab family reminder of your gran, and very nice they are too. The scarecrow is rather cute. Toy boxes were always made for kids to play in not to store toys
lol they crystal fellas are great arent they. Damn it on the scarecrow i must try harder.
Some fab pics. Sorry about your Gran, it’s horrible getting older and having to deal with these things isn’t it. It was lovely to meet you and your lovely little boy in Wednesday x
thanks so much and it was really great to meet you too

I do love those crystal anaimals. I had a collection too. Nice little memory of Gran to have around

Love the crystal animals – nice to have a momento of someone you were close to.
Thanks Erica, as a child this is what hubby remembers most so we thought they were quite apt to have a few here
the britmums meet up must have been fun – nay excuse for some tea and cake too!! i like the scarecrow dude although he is a bit too cute to scare away birds!! Think my fav is the one of your and Josh – made me smile x
Thanks Jenny, The Britmums Meetup was great and i had way too much to eat! lol
xx
What a lovely reminder of Grandma Joan, I’m sure she’d be thrilled that you have them. Boxes are definitely cheaper than toys and children seem to love them.
Thanks so much for you lovely comment, i know we might as well of not bought any toys at Christmas! lol
Great recap of your week!
Thanks for dropping by and visiting me.
Thanks Jackie, it was my pleasure to pop over
thanks for calling over here too x
A busy week for you. The toy box shot is very cute
Thanks so much and thanks for popping over
xx
It’s so much more fun to play with the toys while in the box, rather than out!
He was enjoying himself that much i thought i ought to try it next time lol x
I used to have a crystal mouse..it got lost during a move. Still in a box in the attic I suspect..
I think all kids rather playing with boxes. We bought the grandson a box of megablocks and he emptied them on the floor and sat in the box!
lol that sounds just about right, i dont know why we bother buying toys! lol thanks for popping over Sue x
I remember those crystal animals, my great-gran used to collect those and we were always so desperate to play with them. We used to dare each other to sneak them off the mantlepiece and see if she noticed!
Love the photo of Joshua playing in the cardboard box, it’s true what they say about children preferring boxes to toys!
These little crystal fellas really are a blast from the past aren’t they! did she ever notice if you sneaked them off?
My mother used to collect those little crystal animals; you’ve just taken me back years. I used to buy them for her for any special occasion. I love your black and white photo. It’s gorgeous.
Thanks Joanne, We picked them as the hubby used to buy them for his grandma for special occasions too! thanks for popping over xx
It’s lovely that you have the crystal animals to remember your Grandma Joan.
I’m glad you enjoyed the BritMums meet up.
