Yesterday my sister Emma and I tried out a new park/playground area with the kids. I am totally in love with this place now. The playground had plenty to do and even though it was jammed packed with kiddies none were bored waiting in line to get on something. Also another thing that was great was no graffiti, I think it's such a shame that you go to a nice new playground and all you end up noticing is the scribble of graffiti and have to answer your child's question of "What does that say Mummy?", there was none of that here. There was no teenagers hanging around and having to be moved on by the local town centre police team and everyone was having a lovely time. It even had the ice-cream van drive across the park and park outside for everyone to get ice-creams (well everyone apart from our kids who didn't in the least bit notice it, which kind of made me feel a bit sad, I have to change that!). But best of all about this wonderful haven was the fact that just next to the playground area was an open greenland space, which had a pretty little river running through it with a bridge that was perfect for playing Pooh Sticks. We spent about an hour in the playground and then went for a walk around the greenland area which has been called Pages Wood, such a pretty name. It's not really much of a wood at the moment as trees have only recently been planted but it was a nice walk around and the kids loved it. As per the normal with me my trusty camera was in tow and plenty of photos taken. Last night I uploaded them to the laptop and then used a great little site called One True Media to make a video montage of the day (plus some photos from the days before as I needed more photos). It was great fun and I loved compiling the montage.

So I thought I'd share with you our little day out yesterday

What do you see?

On Tuesday Callum and I did some art. Below is what Callum did and afterwards he told me about the picture and what each thing was. Before I post that I thought it would be fun and interesting to see how others interpret his picture

I feel as of late that I've abandoned Orble a bit. It's not by choice though. Things in the White Household have been busy. We've at long last finished decorating our flat and had one Estate Agent come round last week and are hoping to get more round this week, we just have to annoyingly re-paint our communal front door as after just a week some a-hole has grafitteed on it!! On top of that last week was Callum's last week of playschool... EVER! There was his sports day, his leaving concert and the fete to attend in one week! And on top of all this we had a certain little boys fourth birthday to prepare for. Callum's birthday was yesterday and last night Daz and I felt shattered.

So with all that over with I thought I'd quickly pop on here to say hi and that I will be back soon... hopefully (the summer holidays have started now) to post and read all your wonderful blogs

Favourite Blogs: Too many to list

Since I got my digital camera all those years ago I've become click happy. This of course does have its downfalls... mostly how much space those photos take up on your computer/laptop. I won't tell you the exact amount of photos currently on our laptop but I think it's round about a few thousand. Armed with this thought I have planned to try and upload as many as I can onto the photobucket site that we have so that they (hopefully) won't be lost. While at photobucket I noticed that they have added some cool little features one of them being slideshow.

So here (if it works) is a little sample of one that I created with a couple of my favourite more recent photos of Callum

Yep Transformers has hit the White House.

True to Callum form the release of the new Transformers movie has him with a new love although one that still encompasses his one true love of cars! The last few weeks Callum has been asking about us taking him to see the movie at the cinema but luckily Daz had some episodes on DVD which Callum has been lapping up, so we may not have a disappointed little boy when we don't take him. Also (as Daz and I... well mostly Daz, are such geeks) we have some Transformers comics. Most mornings Callum will come into our bedroom and bombard Daz with questions about the Transformers, such as "What is the yellow one called Daddy?" (by the way it's Bumblebee and Callum knows this full well, he just likes to ask Daz.) "What's the digger called Daddy?" (I have no idea the answer to this!) and so on and points them out in the comic he has chosen to bring in

Blue is the Magic Colour

July 6th 2007 14:55

Favourite Blogs: Not had a chance to look today.

So today Callum and I made some Thomas the Tank Engine fairy cakes. It was one of those little packs with all the stuff made up you just add and egg and water, nice and simple. Callum was very helpful in mixing it all togther and I put the mixture into the cake cases and put them in to cook.

After that came the icing. Now Callum's favourite colour for those that don't know is Blue and what with these being Thomas Tank cakes I thought it would be cool to have blue icing on the cakes. I didn't think I'd end up with a blue son too! I'd careful put the lid back on the bottle and put it to the back of the sideboard (hidden I thought) while I mixed up the icing and started putting it on the cakes. Callum comes strolling in and first thing he spies is the bottle of blue food dye. So being Callum he has to ignore the loud shout from me of "No!!!!!!!" and open up the bottle and take a gulp. As you know that stuff tastes vile neat and that's what Callum thought. There was blue dye all dripping out his mouth so he did what was only natural and wipe it... all across his face and hands! The little monkey monster!! LOL!! After the horrible taste had dissipated he did find it funny. Then we had the mad rush to the bathroom where I found that it wouldn't wash off his face but thankfully toothpaste cleaned up this teeth. So then I had the panic but laughing phonecall to my Mum asking what to do. Plenty of ideas were given. I then remembered that in the cupboard I had a tub of Bicarbonate of Soda so I've stood Callum at the kitchen sinks and scrubbed him clean. Now I just have to make sure he doesn't go looking for the green dye to make himself look like The Incredible Hulk
