Danger Mouse Returns!!

Mummy and Daddy always loved the original Danger Mouse and even bought Jamie the DVDs of the old series, so we were all excited when a new series was commissioned for CBBC.   Whether it will be better than the original remains to be seen......

Last Chance To See The Barons....

Becci and Del got married at the weekend and, while they were having their photos taken in the Cathedral and the Bishops Palace, we went into Lincoln Castle to see all the Barons together for the last time before being auctioned off.   See: http://www.lincolnbarons.com/

Got a lovely shot of us all with Jamie's favourite; the Steampunk Baron:

 

 

(Daddy is missing as he agreed to do the music for the wedding and was setting up).

 

We also had chance to visit the Tourist Information and pick up a couple of Barons for ourselves as well as a fridge magnet.



Super Heroes Day

After the embarrassment at the end of last term when I told Jamie it was Super heroes day and arrived to find he was the only one dressed up, I made sure today was the day!

Beavers

Jamie went to his first night of Beavers last night.   Things didn't start well, as - even before the evening had started - while playing with some of the others, he fell onto his face causing his teeth to bleed.  I thought 'that's it, we will be leaving soon', but he stayed.

After introductions, the Beavers then played Dodge Ball.  Jamie played for a few minutes but then came over to sit with me as he didn't like playing it.  (I think his mouth was still hurting).

Half way through the evening they all sat down and were asked what they did in their holidays. Jamie said; 'Had a sleepover with my cousin.  She stayed with us for three days'.

The evening ended with two more games; one in four teams where they had to keep the ball out of their corner, and then 'Shark Attack' where they ran round and then a blanket was placed on a Beaver and the others had to guess who it was.

I could not get over how loud the hall got!

Kanga, Roo and Joey seemed really nice and they assured me afterwards that it wasn't always like that.  The amount of games was just because it was the first week back after the holidays.  I have been promised there will be more 'badge collecting' from now one - the main reason we got Jamie interested in it.  

We likened Beavers to www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/shows/hey-duggee

Kissing Cousins.....

Cousin Lucy stayed over the Bank Holiday weekend and, as usual, they had a fantastic time.

However, Auntie Chrissie did come back after their trip to the allotment a little concerned, as Jamie and Lucy had been snogging.  Not a little peck, but a full on snog!  Chrissie had had to tell them this was not allowed when you were cousins.....
