How Time Flies!

Jordan & Lee are standing like the statue & are saying 'Iron men!' Timmy is holding out his glove shouting 'Iron glove!' Made us giggle! Luke is too busy splashing to pose for the piccie!

The weekend has come & gone & it's Monday again! We had a lovely weekend. On Saturday we went to say goodbye to Anthony Gormley's Another Place sculptures on Crosby beach. We love those barnacled rusty men! The beach just won't be the same without them there. I love seeing 100 of them across the beach just staring out to sea contemplating life, watching the changing tides & the ships going in & out of the Port of Liverpool. I love the sea so much anyway but the fact that there is art there too has made it an even more special place to visit. It has been wonderful to watch my boys interacting with the sculptures & having fun....

Our trip ended with the usual ice cream. It's kind of become a tradition now, even on the coldest of days. In the photos of the boys with their ice creams they are all saying 'Mmmm! Delicious!' I had a cup of tea from the hot dog van, well I say a cup of tea it was actually a chip cone of tea as they had run out of cups!!!! We laughed & laughed & laughed about it! While we sat in the car with our ice creams we watched a man flying 3 kites all at the same time. He was amazing doing all kinds of stunts. The piccies don't do it justice though.

We nipped into Tesco's on the way home to buy some milk & it chucked down with rain. Just as I was coming out of the shop the most beautiful full double rainbow appeared in the sky. I just had to take a photo or two although I did feel slightly silly stood in the middle of Tesco car park snapping away. But several other people joined in too & I think the finished photo was worth the effort!

Sunday was busy but fun. My parents came for the day which was nice. For a change neither of us were doing anything in the service so we sat together for the first time in ages. I really enjoyed the preach- very challenging & encouraging. After lunch we watched a bit of the gymnastics. Timmy especially loved it & tried to do the high bars on the handle of his push-along car! It was very sweet!

And now it is Monday. I took Jordan to speech therapy first thing. He worked so hard & Timmy & Luke were really well behaved in the room so it wasn't stressful. Straight after that we took Jordan to the holiday club at the local church. He had fun learning all about Joseph. His small group is called Silly Scarabs!! I think it has made an impact because Jordan remembered the story very well & told me all about it.

By the way, if you want to see the photos bigger just click on them! I think I have worked out how to put them into the text so next time they should hopefully correspond with what I am writing about!! Well, I must go as the boys are helping me to blog! They are all swinging round on the other office chair having a laugh! ;-)
