Remember, remember the 5th of November...

Yesterday was Guy Fawkes. We usually go to a display but this year we decided to have our own display!
We enjoyed a really lovely buffet - Sausage rolls, cocktail sausages, scotch eggs and so on. Followed by some cakes and sweet things.
The kids enjoyed the buffet while watching the fireworks that we let off!

Harry took these photos, aren't they cool?

Ellie wasn't to keen on the loud bangs but she thought they were all very pretty! Harry & Charlie loved the loud bangs, typical boys, hehe.

We stopped half way thru to do some sparklers. Bonfire night is not the same without sparklers. The kids loved the sparklers, especially Ellie. She spun hers around and around and made some really pretty pattens! They all thought the sparklers were rather cool!
We then sat down and had some cakes and sweet things while we enjoyed some more fireworks.

Sparklers!

Over all, we had a fantastic bonfire night. The kids had a lovely time and were shattered come bedtime, bless 'em.
What did you do to celebrate bonfire night this year?

We have had a fantastic Autumn. We achieved quite a few things on our bucket list and still have a few to go (which we're going to do over the next couple of weeks).
At the start of Autumn, Ellie turned seven years old. I still find it hard to believe that she is seven years old already! She had a lovely birthday and got lots of really great gifts.


We really enjoyed lots of things about Autumn. Harry's favourite thing about Autumn is onsie weather! Of all things, lol!
We enjoyed a lovely Autumn walk, where we spotted some squirrels running around in the trees. They're so cute.


Harry went on a school trip to London and learned a lot about 'The Clink' and the river Thames, I wish he could have taken photos but camera's were not allowed!
We all enjoyed the mild weather that came along with Autumn, which was nice and we really made the most of it.


We had some family time and watched some movies, the kids really enjoyed 'The Lego Movie'. 

In October, Harry turned eleven years old. My first born child is now eleven years old, whoa! Where has time gone?! He also had a brilliant Birthday! He got some fabulous gifts and had a friend 'round for dinner!


 We also baked some really lovely Halloween cupcakes, (with a few random ones thrown in, haha) which the kids really enjoyed.



We enjoyed a trip to the zoo, which was awesome! We haven't ever been to the zoo in the Autumn time before. The zoo looked SO beautiful in the Autumn time and we had a blast! It's hard to choose my favourite animal but I know Ellie enjoyed the penguins!


Speaking of Halloween, the kids had a fab time Trick Or Treating. We didn't stay out for too long though. They got some yummy Halloween treats! And we also watched some Halloween movies, we enjoyed 'The Haunted Mansion' which is one movie I had never seen before.

Our cat Lotti isn't liking the cooler weather - she sleeps instead!
