This delicious Victoria sponge cake was made by me with the help of Luke & Timmy to celebrate our thirteenth wedding anniversary on July 27th. I sliced strawberries to look like heart shapes & put thirteen of them on the top of the cake. It was very yummy! I nearly burnt the house down making nachos for our tea though!!
This summer we have been pottering around doing this & that mostly & taking it easy. The boys decided one day that they were going to wash the play house. It's lovely & clean now! they do love to climb on top of their Little Tike cars & mend the roof, or clean it or whatever really.
Annie-Joy still loves water! She comes running whenever she hears the kitchen taps running & often helps me wash up. It can get very wet!! 
We discovered model train videos on YouTube & the children had a lot of fun watching them over & over with Lee. 
Timmy made a potato figure at school. I finally remembered to photograph it before it turned green & had to be thrown away. It's an alien. He has an alarm bell on his head to help him go to sleep! He has 4 cocktail stick legs.
Luke made an alien too. He's called Martin. He is named after the book But Martin! that they read in school. It really made an impact on Luke. Luke's alien has lots of eyes.
Lee took Jordan to his first Liverpool FC match. It was a friendly against Athletico Madrid.
Jordan LOVED it even though he was actually very ill with a cold as it turns out. Jordan ploughs on & will not admit when he is ill if there is something he really wants to do. He flaked out as soon as he got back home bless him & went straight to bed without his tea. He did drink some of the homemade lemonade that Luke, Timmy & Annie-Joy had made while he was out. (See here for the recipe). It was delicious! I am sure the vitamin c in the lemon juice really helped him to get better quickly!
I have been cracking on with some more clearing out & organising in our house over the summer. This basket full of toys, books & bits were all found in our bedroom!! *sigh* I really think Annie-Joy looks like her Auntie Helen did as a child in this photo.....
....but not in this one! Cool Annie-Joy playing out on our driveway with her sunglasses, her ladybird raincoat & her beloved Bebe & pram. What a character she is! :o)Till next time! Hope all who read are very well.

This is a proper reply now I know our connection to the blogger is working! Can you make a 39 strawberry cake for us please next anniversary???LOL It looks a lot of fun in your house this summer- shame they have to go back to school. My mum really disliked it when we all went back. It was different for me cos it was doubly bad -you lot going and Ken and I going back to the grind! None of that now hooray. AJ is very very cute.

Aw. Lovely to read of all your antics, all. I love the potato aliens and Jordan looks like he had a fab time at the footie match. Cake looks scrummy too! And I love how you always manage to make a photo look good even if it was all the toys you collected from in your room!! ;o) xxx
