Ollyvon* clothes

*Ollyvon is Kitty's favourite doll.

The three kings

The parents have all been asked to contribute to a homemade nativity at nursery. We were allocated the task of making the three kings. We have become quite attached to these little pipe cleaner guys but today was the day to hand them over to nursery. God speed three kings, don't forget to feed the camel.

kit also helped me set up the nativity scene in the town centre this weekend.

Two down, one more to go

With two Christmas lights switch-ons this week, as well as several very late nights working on preparations we are all feeling very tired. But tonight's event was a particularly rewarding one as so many people came and enjoyed the show. With Peppa Pig as the special guest, I think we certainly made a couple of thousand children very happy tonight. Kitty, of course got a special VIP pass to come back stage with mummy and meet Peppa face to face, but to be honest I think the opportunity was wasted on her. She certainly isn't a celebrity chaser and was less than impressed.

Also this week was my birthday. Getting old now, but decided not to worry about it. Just happy to be healthy and here. Got lots of really lovely presents and cards - thanks everyone, especially Peahead and Kitty who got me a fab iPad. Xx

New shoes

Kitty has had a bit of a growth spurt recently and I noticed that her favourite boots were getting a bit tight at the toe. So, this morning we went to the shoe shop early and she picked some really smart new ones.

A visit to the park followed.

I love the fact that we still have a few flowers in the garden, despite the fact that it's November.

Darth Kitty

Big black cat

Today was Halloween party at nursery. Despite the fact that last years witch outfit still fits perfectly, Kitty insisted that this year she wanted to be a Big Black Cat from the Halloween song. A bit of quick sewing and some knitted ears soon sorted it.

The Halloween song.

Eye-spy the Midlands

A trip to Derbyshire to visit family.

Kit was keen to take a close look at everything at Great Mama Kitty's house.....

...including Great Mama!

Fun and cuddles.

Kit braved the bungee-trampoline in Chesterfield. We were both nervous at first (me watching and Kit strapped in) but she soon got the hang of it and really enjoyed herself.

Later we visited Auntie Alison and Uncle O'Neil.

Kitty and Alison had a great time putting on Halloween makeup.

Even O'Neil got some.
