wardrobe top ups

Last week I was sorting out Evies next load of clothes.

It made me realise that I didnt have enough long sleeved pajamas for her...

...so today in Sainsburys I had a look at their pjs knowing that the neck holes are on the tight size (allthough the normal clothes are fine - I dont get that at all!) .  The few long sleeved ones they had did have small neck openings so I decided to have a look in Mothercare instead.

While we were in town having a post food shopping skinny latte/hot chocolate with cream (you can hazard a guess as to who had what if you like ;o)), we had a look in Mothercare at their pajamas.

I saw these and got these as well (after seeing Cinderella at the cinema last week), while I was in there I also bought Evie this dress as it reminded me of dungarees I had when I was little ;o)

As I wanted to order James a giant cookie for his birthday next week (which I forgot to do) we went into town yesterday.

As the X factor tour audition was in a shopping centre yesterday I expected it to be rammed but it wasnt...

I found out from James that the (not very long) queue was down the other end (and nowhere near me) so I never got a chance to take photos.

I dd get some of the outside of the booth though ;o)

they are very hot on making sure you are old enough

Evies favourite pair of pjs is her Merida ones - she would wear them every night if she could!

So as Evie is almost out of her 2-3 clothes I have been on the lookout for some more Merida ones, but the "in" movie with all of the clothes is Frozen.

So I had the brilliant idea of buying Evie a Merida dressing up dress...

...and it even had a third off of the price too to boot ;o)

Yesterday Evie actually did a recognisable drawing of her monkey Sidney ;o)

you can see the likeness

Charming

We were in Argos buying Evie a merida dress (will blog about it tomorrow) and Evie told me that I couldn't sit on a seat because my "bottom is too big"...

...I burst out laughing ;o)

shall I shant I

Today the X-Factor Tour auditions come to Chelmsford...

still undecided whether to go and watch or not

I may just go and have a schmoozie

LOL I wont be singing as I cant sing for toffee (not that that normally stops me).

I was hoping that the judges would be there but they only see the half decent ones in London that the crew pick out at these events.

as its getting nicer

I am going to start sorting out Evies 3-4 clothes and will bag up (to give away) her 2-3 bits...

...I will try to remove the iron on name tags that I have put on her clothes that she wears to pre-school (as when James ordered them he put my phone number on them!).

a good easter

I did a post Friday morning and it failed (from my not so smart smartphone!)  So I have uploaded it (again) this morning!

On Friday we ended up going to Lakeside Shopping Centre.

When we got there Evie had already decided that she wanted to have lunch at Wagamama ;o)

After we had a drink when we got there James took Evie for a walk about while I looked in the shops.

James then called me just before 12 to say that Evie wanted her lunch

.After lunch we decided to have a look in Hamleys as the store had recently opened there.

We were quite surprised that the prices were so expensive but I guess that they go with the Hamleys name!

We did see some lego ninja models ;o)

And we bought Evie a drum kit playmat ;o)

We then headed home as Evie was getting really tired.

On Sunday (as nothing was open) we headed into town and had a drink and then had lunch in McDonalds - and in their Monopoly promotion we won a free sundae ;o)

And yesterday we went to Southend ;o)

We played on the beach, and me & Evie shared a portion of chips ;o)

Blooming rain

Because of the rain today we couldn't go to Southend....

We are still deciding what to do.

Evie has already decided that she wants to eat out ;o)
