Summer Holidays :: part 1

Hello Lovelies,
Ooooh it's been 12 days since my last post .Not sure how that happened.
Well ,I suppose three boys may have something to do with it !

School holidays are definitely in full swing ,meaning I seem to have very little time to myself,but it's all good.

I'm writing this post whilst the little people sleep as it's the only time I can get near the computer.

When we are at home they are drawn to it like a magnet.Which I'm not that keen on.Not only because I can't update my blog ,but also because I'd rather they played outside,or used their imagination like I used to when I was their age.

So,consequently we have been spending a lot of time at the park,or swimming ,or with friends.

I've been feeling the need to get a bit more active myself lately,unfortunately crochet and blogging don't count as exercise! (bummer)
So I'm giving running a try.I found an eight week training plan to run 5k online ,which is pinned on my fridge.....



It's still early days ,week 3,but I think I'm getting a bit better. The boys come along on scooters ,or bikes ,so they are benefiting too.

We have also invested in a tent. I'm a little unsure about camping,but I think it's another good way to get the boys away from screens.

Here is our new purchase ,seems to take up most of the garden......



Looks quite cosy inside......


Nice place for a spot of crochet......


Luckily GSB is long enough to keep my legs warm....



Here's Mr BM trying out the "stove"...



We slept in it, in the garden last week ,went OK actually.The boys loved it. So now I suppose we have got to go away somewhere with it ,gulp. I may need a little while to psych myself up for that bit !

I'll leave you with a colourful floral fix ,pictures taken in my garden today....






Thankyou for all your comments on my last post. Blogland is so special,hopefully I'll get chance for another installment fairly soon.
