The Eve of Being Sweet 17 for Joshua

On the eve of our eldest turning 17 tomorrow he is a bit too grown up for balloons and banners etc, however I did find this rather amusing birthday say on Temu which I thought was appropriate for Josh! I think he is more excited about the prospect of being able to start to learn to drive as opposed to is actual birthday. I have booked tomorrow off of work and we are planning to head over to Upminster to let him drive Tina's car on that airfield facility they have over there. Should be fun, although I am not sure Tina is thrilled with him driving her Fiesta!

Holly's Year 6 PGL Trip

It has been a bit of a weird week this week as Holly has been away with her school on their Year 6 PGL trip in Suffolk. This must be the longest she has ever been away from us and the house is very quiet without her (in a bad way). 

We have received a few pictures from the school and it looks like she is having a fab time. Really looking forward to seeing our little baby arrive home tomorrow though as we have definitely missed her. Let's hope she is not too tired to celebrate her big brothers 17th birthday when she gets home!

Day 1 and it looks like Holly had settled in to her room.

Who ever thought giving her a gun was a good idea!!!!

This is more Holly. After all our paddle boarding she must have been a pro on the water.
