A little update for you of some of the Davies Tribe goings on of late! The boys & I have been busy baking biscuits for Valentine's Day. I made the biscuits above to take to our friends house on Valentine's Day when we went there for a meal. We had a lovely day with the Ellis-Lee family but, although I took my camera with me I forgot to take it out of my bag so I don't have anything to show you of the lovely walk we had on Bidston Hill by the windmill or our visit to Tam O'Shanter's Urban Farm (which Timmy & Luke said was a pretend farm because all we saw for a while were plastic animal statues standing in the paddocks!!). Of course, the high light for the boys was when the pig went to the toilet & milking the cow (the plastic one which is full of water so when you squeeze the udder teats it's like milking a real cow!!). It was good to be out in the 'country'!!
The boys & I went into mass production of the heart shaped chocolate dipped biccies & made them for all their class mates & all the teachers in the school too! This is the card & basket I made to put the biscuits in that were to go in the staff room. (Photo hurriedly taken before we legged it to school just on time!!)
Jordan wrote inside the card beautifully & Luke & Timmy signed their names too.
Jordan has been busy too playing football at Liverpool Football Club's Academy. It's big isn't it?
This is his 'team' photo with their coach. Spot Jordan the only one without a football kit on!!
This is a photo that Lee took on his mobile of Jordan in the middle of his coaching session. Jordan LOVED going to football training & Lee was a very proud Dad watching him score & save goals. I wonder if it will lead to other sporting opportunities?I feel like I have neglected my blog for a while for which I must apologise! I have been having a serious de-clutter & organise of our house & I have been trying not to get distracted! It's going well so far (isn't it Mum?!) & I hope to show you photos of our house very soon now that our new house is now a year lived in, so watch this space!
I've also been rediscovering my love of reading lately. These are some of the books I have read The Shack (absolutely brilliant!), Sorted, It's All Too Much, Paper, Scissors, Death (not as gruesome as it sounds or as daft when you read that it's a Scrap N Craft Mystery!!), The Penny & Super Girl to name a few! I can recommend them all very highly!
Well, time to go I think. I hope all who read are very well! TTFN! :o)

Great blog - I felt like a "proper" Dad - shouting well done son - you can do it - pass the ball son - run with it - use your hands (when he was in goal obviously)!!! Well done kiddo- Lee xx
Love the heart biccies! What type is the icing? How u manage to get it to not drip off the biccies must be an art in itself! Sounds like Jordan loves his footie training! And on a proper pitch too! Cool! Have great day! xxx
Thanks for another super-blog! I really look forward to the photos and the stories that go with them.
Don't feel bad that you can't always manage a new chapter every week! It makes me all the more appreciative when the news does appear.
I'm very glad you've time for some reading.
The biscuits are like shortbread- my favourite yum!
Hugs all round the Tribe and an extra one for the footballer!
