Busy weekend in Norfolk!

We left our house on Saturday afternoon so we arrived at my aunts house about 6ish.
Max and Alfie spent all evening playing with my cousin Paige and when we finally left, we didnt arrive at the hotel until late.
Sunday morning we all got up and went to Little Chef- awful! The food wasnt great and they charged a small fortune! (Ok exaggeration but we got a bowl of cereal for each of the kids and a fruit-shoot each, i got 2 pancakes and a cup of tea, Dru got 2 pancakes, 2 pieces of bacon and scrambled eggs and an orange juice and it came to over £20. If it was nice food, i wouldnt of minded but when it wasnt nice, that takes the mick!)
After breakfast, we headed to North Walsham to go to the summer fete.
When we arrived it was hammering down and the fete wasnt on so we decided to have a wander round the town (forgetting it wasnt London and everything was shut!!).
We found that Sainsburys was open so we went in there and bought some bits for lunch later.
After Sainsburys, we went back to the summer fete which was now on as the rain had calmed down.
Not a great deal was there, i think the rain had scared most people off and to be honest, if i lived there, i wouldnt of gone out in that weather but we didnt want to spend the day in the hotel.
Anyways, the kids watched the dog show, had a look at some classic cars and had a look round the stalls.
We ended up buying 6 dvds for £2- BARGAIN! Max and Alfie played hook the duck and won fishing games as prizes and then headed back to the car before the thunder and lightning!
We headed back to the hotel and had our lunch and the kids amused themselves playing the fishing games.
That evening we headed back to my aunts house and watched the England match (bloody Italy!) and didnt get back to our hotel until gone midnight!
Monday morning we all had to wake up about 8ish because we needed to get to Norwich for Dru's interview.
We arrived in Norwich and off Dru went for his interview while me, Max and Alfie went for a look in the shops.
When his interview was finished, we headed back to North Walsham and went to a tea shop for lunch.
After lunch we headed to the preschool where Alfie met his new teacher. Alfie seemed to really like it there and i was really impressed with it all.
Then we headed to the school where we met Max's teacher and he got to ask any questions he had.
The school and preschool both seem lovely and the kids really like it there!
Then we headed back to the town centre to view a house, only to have the appointment cancelled by the estate agent about 10 mins before the viewing so we used that time to go to some more estate agents and got another viewing for that afternoon.
We viewed a house at 4.30 which wasnt very nice at all. We new that it wasnt for us as soon as we walked in!
Then we viewed a place at 5pm which was LOVELY! We both really liked it so we might try and get that one.
Then in the car on the way home, Dru got a call from the guy that interviewed him and they have asked him to come back new week for a trial shift as he done so well in the interview so fingers crossed!
All in all, we had a great weekend!

Father's Day 2012

Max and Alfie woke up and were dying to wake Dru up but i managed to convince them to let him have a little more sleep.
We made him a cup of tea and some biscuits and took them, along with the cards and presents into him.

Whilst Dru was opening his presents, Max and Alfie decided to eat all the biscuits and leave none for Dru, Little monkeys!
After all the presents and cards and after we were all dressed we headed over to my dads house.
We collected Dad and then went to Ruislip Lido.
The restaurant was packed (as we expected!) but we found a table and got our food.
It was a carvery and the food was nice. I had gammon, Dru and my dad had gammon and beef, the kids had sausages.
After the food, the kids played in the park and watched the swans for a bit.
Heading back to the car, dad bought us all ice creams (most of which ended up on the kids faces!).
It was a lovely, relaxed day x

Alfie loves to dance

Jubilee Party

There was a Diamond Jubilee Party at the Children's Centre today.

There was face painting, henna, party food, music and loads of toys!

Max got a Union Jack on his face and hand.

 Alfie got a small one on his cheek, I was so impressed that Alfie sat still for that long but his wiped it off after about a minute of it being finished! Little monkey!

I got henna on my feet which looks pretty.

The kids ate so much food! Alfie ended up covered in chocolate!

They had a great day! It was lovely!
