We seem to be doing a round of parks and stuff this week.  On Saturday James took the kids to Balmedie Beach while I got caught up with some ironing - lucky me, I live the high life!  But in fairness I'm not mad on beaches so wasn't overly disappointed not to be going!  But it looks like fun was had writing names in sand and playing in the spaceship park. 

On Sunday we took the monkey's to the cinema to see Toy Story 3.  £31 it cost, £31!!!  Now I remember why we usually go on a Sunday morning for £1 each.  That's a lot to all watch a film.  And we took our own food so that didn't include that.  It poured all day so it was a good plan despite it costing a fortune!

I had a hair appointment on Saturday afternoon, got about 3 inches cut off, but as usual after a holiday it's gone so blonde that the condition of it is really bad, so she wouldn't cut it into a bob that I wanted as it wouldn't sit right.  So here is the result (kind of)

On Monday morning we had a guy round to fix Krystal's bedroom window and then we headed to Westburn Park with Leanne, Jessica & Sophie.  They played, we watched.  Going to the park is much easier nowadays without having to do the chasing!

Tuesday was an early morning too, I got my jab and then we heaed straight to Dizzy Rascals.  It was heaving, busier than I've seen it in ages! But the kids had fun.  By the time we left it had turned into a nice day, we were all sweating in the car, so we got changed before heading to Kory's boxing.  Only we got halfway and the heavens opened, argh! 

Today (Wednesday) again was an early morning.  We spent the day with Andrea, Jamie & Charlie.  As Andrea doesn't drive, I decided to join them on the bus which is always an adventure for Kory & Krystal. 

We went to Duthie park and spent hours playing in the back park.  We didn't even make it to the bottom one and by then it was 1.30pm.  We walked round the winter gardens (which are lovely in summer - irony?) and then got back on a bus to Burger King.  The kids ate food and then played in the play frame thingy. 

By the time we got home at 4:30pm they were totally exhausted and just sat like zombies in front of the TV ha ha.  Loving the holidays!
