It's been a busy day today doing the weekly grocery shop. It took all morning and then quite some time to put it all away. I have the most enormous fridge but I had trouble fitting it all in.

My son and family are coming to stay this weekend so we shall have some fun playing with Corey and Tyler.

I did the recipe card challenge again this month at Digital Scrapbooking Studio.

Here is the card I made using the challenge kit. Maurine makes such wonderful kits for these recipe challenges.

Fruit Meringue Surprise

I decided to use the blank recipe card to make a layout of Tyler.

 Tyler's First Icecream

It's getting a bit late now so I'll say goodbye. See you soon.

I've made another layout with the Moo Two Pool Party Collaboration.

Here is my layout using a photo of Tyler when he was about 6 months old:

Chilling Out

Wasn't he a little cutie?

Had a busy day today. Went shopping this morning and was lucky enough to get two new tops and a pair of leggings that actually fitted me.

There is one certain store that shall be nameless where they do leggings in size 12-14 and size 16-18. I am normally a size 16 so the 16-18 leggings were enormous on me and were almost as baggy in the leg as my jeans. When I tried to put the 12-14 ones on, I couldn't get them past my knees - they were so tight. You would have laughed to see it - glad nobody did.

Anyway, I'm happy now that I managed to get some from the other store.

Not much to show you today but I thought that I would show you some photos of Corey my youngest grandson - Tyler's baby brother. These were taken by 'Funny Grandad'.

Hello Grandad, are you watching me!

 Look I can stand up now

Having my lunch

He is no longer a little baby but turning into a lovely little boy. He crawls at a fantastic speed and loves walking round the furniture. It won't be long before he is walking.

Be back tomorrow. Bye for now.

It has been so hot this weekend. I'm melting.

Managed to get out in the garden to do a bit of deadheading early this morning. My roses are really going to be wonderful when they come into their third flowering this summer.

I'm going to show you a few photos of our day out in Windsor with Tyler.

A ride on a train. Tyler driving, me holding onto him. It zigzagged all over the place.

I'm a policeman.

I can drive the fire engine.

The carousel Tyler had a ride on.

 Having fun in the park.

We saw this strange car and caravan type trailer in Windsor.

We were lucky enough to see this wonderful pair of horses pulling a cart laden with visitors to Windsor.

Talk to you tomorrow.

Chris.

I'll be back with a another layout made with the Pool Party Collaboration in a few days.

Bye for now.

Today I'm going to show you the layout I made with the Moo Two August Collaboration called Pool Party.

.
The photos were taken in 'Doggy Grandad's' garden. He calls him this to distinguish between my husband who is called 'Funny Grandad' and his other grandad. The dog trying to get into the action is Cooper who is sadly no longer with us. He was such a big dog but absolutely loved Tyler and always wanted to join in the fun.

Here is the preview of the wonderful  Collaboration that I made the layout with:

 

You can buy it now at the special price of $6.00.

Bye for now. See you tomorrow

Well, it's been a very busy couple of days. Tyler is staying with us for the week and we have been planning lots of things to do. On Monday we had a wonderful day at Old MacDonald's Farm and have lots of photos of Tyler having a wonderful time. I hope to make some layouts soon with them.

Today we have been at Ruislip Lido. Tyler had a great time on the bouncy castles, riding on the little steam train to the beach and playing on the swings and playing in the sand. He was so tired when we got home that he fell asleep on the sofa watching Bambi and his grandad had to carry him up to bed. I think that he wore his little self out with all that bouncing around. More photos to make layouts with.

That little chap in the orange shirt climbing up the ladder is Tyler. He was the smallest one to go down the bouncy slide while we were there.

When we finished our ride on the train, Tyler wanted to have a look at the engine and the driver asked him if he would like to sit inside.

Tomorrow rain is forecast so we have decided to make it a shopping day to replenish our food stores and stock up the fridge. Don't suppose there will be any exciting photo opportunities there though!!!

Talk to you again.
