Dear mummy, it’s been a bit quiet on the blog lately. In fact our life couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s been crazy busy offline. We’ve been enjoying Halloween and Bonfire night, birthdays and family get togethers. Trips to London and gigs…it’s all been a bit, well, hectic.
That’s the way we like it (occasionally) when we get swept away with all the hustle and bustle of family life….however something needs to give and on this occasion it was the blog. Sometimes it’s nice to take stock and document our days with piccys. So here’s our manic, crazy week in photos…enjoy!
We hosted a house party and invited all my friends and family along. My mummy enjoyed making all the party food and I liked helping her put up the spooky decorations. We all enjoyed carving pumpkins, dressing up and playing musical statues in our dinning room to the makeshift disco that daddy had created. My folks were also lucky enough to be invited to an adults fancy dress party too! That was a late night with (thankfully) minimal hangover damage!
As part of the continued Halloween celebrations my mummy went to go and see one of her favourite bands play at the O2 Arena (and on a school night!). She was shattered afterward but really enjoyed seeing Bring Me The Horizon. She didn’t get back until after 2am as she lives outside London, but being Halloween it was fun seeing all the revellers dressed up on the tube…so where a bit worse for wear..even on a Monday night!
The week passed in a bit of a blur after that…My mummy won a certificate of recognition at work last week for a large project that she’s been working on and I’ve received a couple of stickers and medals from nursery celebrating the ‘big toddle’ and acts of kindness. There were a lot of early nights dozed up on night nurse and Vicks to keep colds at bay. We were really living for the weekend by the time Friday came!
We celebrated a lovely little girls first birthday on Saturday the 5th November and we enjoyed seeing friends (I even made some new ones) afterwards we celebrated with a small garden display which was perfect for the toddlers and babies. Driving home afterwards we saw lots of professional displays over the city. I spent ages looking out of the bedroom windows spotting them and stayed up way past my bedtime!
The following day was my Daddy’s Birthday! We had a lazy Sunday, watched plenty of family films and sat in our PJs until midday! (Unheard of in this household) We then had an amazing feast at COAL in Basingstoke. My daddy even got his own firework on top of his ice cream!!
What have you all been up to lately? Burning the candle at both ends? We sure have and can’t wait for a rest! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Love Bella x

Great photos, love the ones of the fireworks. I’m glad Daddy had a good birthday, and slightly jealous of your mummy seeing BMTH at the O2. I heard it was good.

What a genuinely lovely post! It sounds like you’ve had so many lovely things happening and worth celebrating. The gig sounds great and you looked great dressed up!
Oh this happens to me so often. Juggling work, a baby and everything else. Sometimes something gets neglected and it’s usually my blog. Your photos are just lovely.

So happy you enjoyed the bring me show, it was a special night! I live so close to London but still didn’t get back until about 12.30am 😦 Boo. x
Wow you certainly have been busy. We’ve been busy ourselves meaning our blog has been neglected of late too. Sometimes real life takes priority and that’s OK. The fireworks pictures are awesome x
It sounds like you had a great, but busy time and sometimes life does get in the way of things we want or need to do x
Wow, what a busy, and spectacular, week. Fantastic photos, excellent Halloween costumes and make up and I’m very jealous about the Bring Me The Horizon concert. Mind you, the last time I went to a concert (thirty seconds to Mars) I ended up pregnant, so probably a good thing! X
