Time is flying by so fast cant believe pickle starts school in a couple of days, I'm driving up so i can see her in her uniform walking into school for the first time, I'm so proud of my little princess, i know I'm bias but pickle really is a dream, always happy and we always have lots of fun.
Spending 3 and a half weeks together this summer was amazing, pickle, Jake, Sarah and i went to Haven caravan park for 5 days. it was the first time i had stayed at a caravan park and i thought it was great, each day we all went to the beach in the morning, crabbing and catching lots of shrimp and fish as well, it was great fun pickle and Jake absolutely loved it, it was magic to see them laughing especially when Jake went to pick up a shrimp and it started flapping around, he let out a big squeal and we all laughed, pickle was picking up fish and shrimps not scared at all, then before heading back to the site pickle and Jake would put the fish and shrimps back in the water then they would let the crabs go on the beach and watch them race to the sea, one day they had more than 20 crabs to set free it was so funny watching the kids laughing as the crabs all scurried back the the water. when we were back at the site we spent most of our time in the pools one indoor and one out door, pickle and Jake love swimming and its great to see how well they get around the pool with there floats they can get all the way from one end to the other without any help, in the evenings we would all play bingo then Issy and Jake would join in the kids play time and dance at the disco. it was great Issy and Jake asked if we could go there again next summer.

The summer holidays started and i have pickle with me for 3 whole weeks :) the first few days have flown by had a terrific time at chessington yesterday with pickle and Jacob we managed to go on lots of rides even though the park was busy the Que times weren't so bad. pickle had a sleep over with Jacob last night and Jacob stayed with pickle and me the night before. they are both excited about going on holiday Monday, we are going to a caravan park on the south coast it will be the first time i have stayed in a van and I'm really looking forward to it, will add a post with pictures when we get back, we have lots of exciting things planned for the time pickle is here like the anamatronic dinosaurs at the o2 and we will try and get tickets for the lion king show, i am so lucky my little princess loves being with me as much as i love being with her weather we are doing something as exciting as going to a show or just feeding the ducks at the park we always have a great time.....

Just dropped pickle off at Sheffield stn, she has a little ritual of throwing a coin into the fountain and making a wish, I hope her wish comes true :) its been a lovely weekend, auntie Sarah got tickets for pickle and I to see a production of beauty and the beast, It was great pickle was mesmerised, she told me after that the bit with the wolves quite scared her but she thought the show was great, I always ask pickle what she would like to do on our weekends together and she nearly always asks to go to chessington, she loves that place, so we took nanny there on Friday and had a great day then we went to Zizzis also one of pickles fav places. Jake came over on Saturday with Sarah and we all went to the park, Izzy and Jake were riding there scooters and flying a kite, playing crazy golf and climbing trees, then Jake had a sleep over and for the first time he didn't get up ridiculously Early witch was a relief as i was exhausted, we all had a lovely roast dinner at nanny's today before heading to Sheffield, Issy and I cant wait till the summer holidays start we can spend three whole weeks together :)

Had a great weekend with pickle, even the crazy weather couldn't spoil it, we went to chessington on Friday, just me and pickle, it was so nice just the 2 of us, we went on all of pickles fav rides like bubble works and the runaway train, tombe blaster, the merry go round and the bouncing berries, pickle won a prize, by rolling ping pong balls in to numbered slots, it was a princess doll, she was so happy that she had won it on her own, when we left we headed round to nanny's, shortly after we got there Jacob and Sarah arrived, Sarah had to go to work so Jake had a sleep over witch mad pickle very happy, in the morning Sarah, Jake, pickle and I headed into London, the weather was crazy one minute glorious sunshine the next there was torrential rain then sunshine again, we went to the south bank there is so much going on there Issy and Jake loved it, we ate at pizza express then Sarah had to leave for work, so after we we had a ride on the merry go round pickle Jake and i went to the aquarium, it was great we saw sharks, crocodiles, penguins, Nemo and Dorie and we had some great pictures taken, on the way home we got tea and Jake came back for another sleep over, Pickle and Jake got into there pj's after tea and watched a dvd before going to sleep, in the morning we went back to nanny's, it was fathers day and pickle gave me a beautiful card and told me how much she loved me :) then pickle and Jake helped nanny clean and feed the rabbits, after we had dinner it was time to head back to Sheffield, not long now till the summer holidays pickle will get to spend 3 whole weeks with me,she cant wait neither can I.........

I'm sitting on the London bound train with pickle beside me :) Issy gave me a great big hug and a kiss when i picked her up at the station, I'v missed my little princess... she is watching Barbie (A fashion fairytale dvd) now as we head home, we are going to see nanny when we get there and help her clean the rabbits and guinipig cage, we have got a few ideas for the weekend but the weather is looking changeable so we'll play it by ear, jacob and sarah are coming out with us on saturday, think we'll go to the south bank, go on the london eye and to the aquarium. i'll post again with pics of the weekend on monday...

Wow time really does fly! its been a lot longer than i realised since i last posted.
Its been a great couple of month's and I've been able to see quite a bit of pickle what with half term hols and all the bank holiday's. I'm on the train heading back home after dropping pickle back to Sheffield, I got to pick her up on my birthday last Wednesday and we've had a terrific time,

We went straight from the train stn to uncle Richie's it was a beautiful sunny day and he had set up the bouncy castle and paddling pool, Annabell was there and so was Gracie they splashed and bounced around all afternoon, next morning we set off for the coast and picked auntie Sarah and Jacob up on the way it was another hot sunny day Sarah bought Issy and Jake an inflatable dolphins each to play in the pool with, a couple of hours after we got there Richie turned up with Belle it was a great day. on the way home Sarah said pickle could come to her house early and help set every thing up for a BBQ and sleep over at Jake's, Issy was excited and talked about it till she fell asleep, I was woken up at 5am by pickle tugging my arm asking if it was time to go and help Sarah, I laughed and pulled her into my bed and we both went back to sleep, after we woke and had breakfast i dropped pickle off she had a great time with Jake and his friends and enjoyed the sleep over, Think auntie Sarah was worn out by the next morning lol.

After i picked Issy up we popped round to nanny for a bit then headed of to Epsom Derby just the 2 of us it was another lovely hot day and we got on a train with loads of people heading there to, when we got there pickle wanted to go straight to the fun fair no surprise there! we went on loads of rides including the ghost train witch Issy insisted she wanted to go on, she told me after that it was a bit to spooky lol, we ate ice creams and candy floss, and watched the horses race it was great just me and pickle.
