The super duper Jo is still the host for the blog hop this month. Make her day and pop over and say hello! As for me I have been smiling for most of the last week as 2 out of the 2 of us have had our birthdays. So here are the reasons to smile:
1) My birthday
Apart from the fact I am a year older I love having a birthday! I was spoiled with breakfast in bed and lots of cards and some lovely gifts. Some I will use towards my student bits but I did treat myself to a new sewing box as mine was broken:
2) Big girl's birthday
The day after my birthday my daughter turned 11. It was an odd day for me as I only saw her for 10 minutes at breakfast time but I was able to watch her open some cards and presents:
She then headed off on a school residential and only gets home on Friday!
3) Games night
Now the nights are drawing in and its getting dark before bedtime I have reintroduced Sunday games night. To make sure both children were happy I played with each of them in turn at a game of their choice whilst their sibling had a good long soak in the bath. This is the game my son chose:
His sister and I played cribbage and I was trounched!
I am sure there were plenty of other reasons to be cheerful but sticking to my 3. Please join in and share yours...
Lovely reasons! My son is gonna be 11 on Monday.. I can't quite believe he'll be ELEVEN! Time has gone so fast. x
