getting v ready

As the V Festival is this weekend coming, Chelmsford is gearing up for all of the weirdos festival goers who are a coming.

We were in High Chelmer yesterday and Republic have a display with a tent, wellies and all in one suits in the middle of the store.

If you were a store in Chelmsford or Weston-under-Lizard (yes really!) you would be silly not to stock up on the bits that the weirdos festival goers are going to need.

This is another reason as to why I am so glad that I dont have to travel on the trains on Friday or Monday ;o)

a too hasty Mummy

Way back in March I bought Evies nice weather (I would say Summer but we all know that its more rainy than not) clothes in size 3-6 months I then worked out that she would probably grow out of them by August so bought her some 6-9 month stuff.

Well it is now August and lets just say that Mummy was too hasty as there is absolutely no danger of Evie outgrowing her 3-6 month stuff and I washed the new stuff so cant take it back for a refund.

So this morning I decided to put her in her bigger stuff so at least she will get some wear out of them ;o)

managed to get a photo

Hee hee we managed to get a photo of Evies first teeth ;o)

here is the flickr link so you can see it at the original size.

When I have tried to get a photo for the last week she is usually covering them with her tongue.

They are getting quite sharp now, I just hope that James gets bitten hard enough to draw blood before I do ;o)

perhaps she was going for a fly

Yesterday me & Evie were sitting in Starbucks waiting for James to start his lunch hour...

...there was a group of women sitting next to us and I saw Evie waving at them ;o)

So I told them that they were the first people that Evie had ever waved at so they were really lucky ;o)

By the time James had arrived Evie had fallen asleep but I told James and he said to me "are you sure that she wasnt just going for a fly?"  blooming cheek!

Anyway she woke up just as he was going to go back to work and he tried to get her to wave but she wouldnt have any of it.

When we were leaving she then started waving at an old couple and they were waving back at her ;o)

We were then walking back from town and Evie started waving at people (she was very much like the Queen waving at her subjects ;o))

I tried to video motion picture her but she just started to touch her ear (as she tends to do a lot of).

James was waving at Evie this morning before he left for work trying to get her to wave back but as always she didnt do it until after he had left.

I am sure that he will see her do it tomorrow when we are out ;o)

first tooth

After I had been to the dentist last Monday, we were sitting having a coffee and Evie started crying real tears (a sure sign that something is up) and when I felt in her mouth sure enough you could feel something sharp.

Everyday since then I have been checking her mouth for the tooth to appear...

...and yesterday it did ;o)

LOL I have tried to get a photo but she wont move her tongue out of the way!

little miss bargain hunter

Since the school holidays have been on there have been loads of bargains on things for school aged children and as Evie is still a baby I cant usually get the benefit!

For the past couple of weeks I had been meaning to go into The Works as they had an offer on Mr Men & Little Miss books.

So I took a note of the books that I already had at home and went in there with my chip & pin card at the ready...

...I found the display of books and picked out all of the ones that we didnt have...

LOL I ended up buying 46 of them - they even used a 10% discount card (that they normally give you after you have made the purchase) to save me more money ;o)

Unfortunately they dont stock all of the books so will make a note of the ones that we have missing.

I used to really love reading the Mr Men books when I was little (The Little Miss ones didnt come out until the 1980s and by then I was too old for them).

Its hard to read to Evie at the moment as her attention span isnt quite upto it ;o)

we both got tennis players

The theme with this weeks Project Flickr is The Olympics.

With the theme in mind I was looking out for any Olympics type photos that I could take...

...and I saw the Team GB lego mini figures.

My first thought was to take a photo for the project then I thought that I could get one for Evie.

So I ended up buying three one for me and one for James too (otherwise he would only feel left out ;o)).

So I got them home.

I told James that we had bought him a present ;o)

He opened up his one and he got the tennis player, and when I opened mine I got the tennis player too!

Well at least they could have a game together ;o)
