Yesterday Charlie, my little tiny Charlie, turned nine years old!! Nine!! Wow. I honestly can't believe that this time (2 minutes ago) Charlie entered this world. He weighed 5lb 3oz but was quite sick and was diagnosed with kidney reflux at around 10 days old. He went down to around 3lbs, tiny, tiny! He finally got better and now he's a happy, cheeky, mischievous, funny, little nine year old, healthy boy!
He was so excited in the morning, he couldn't wait to open his presents!! I had to let him open them before breakfast, I think he would have burst with suspense otherwise, haha. Bless him!
He opened his presents, he got a new school bag, pencil case, angry birds goodies and what not. He marched off happily to school with his new school bag, stationary and of course some sweetie goodies for his class mates.
After school, he opened the rest of his presents. Charlie has been wanting a kindle for a really long time, he loves reading and he's always playing on my kindle fire and reading his books on there, so for his birthday we got him a kindle fire! His face was priceless when he opened it. Bless him.
I treated Charlie, Harry and Ellie to fish and chips for dinner, (Charlie's favourite!) we ate them outside in the garden and enjoyed the weather. After dinner, we all sang 'Happy Birthday' to Charlie and had some Cadburys flake birthday cake. Which is the one Charlie picked, talk about yummy!
We spent the rest of the evening playing games, making loom bands and playing games on the kindle. Charlie also got some reading in, he LOVES reading on his kindle. I think it's such an educational piece of technology! He also loves playing maths games on it.
]By the end of the evening the kids were shattered, had a nice bath and watched some T.V, followed by bed!
Over all Charlie had a wonderful Birthday! He is so looking forward to his day at the beach during the six weeks holiday - I asked him what he'd like to do for his birthday and he said "A day at the beach with a picnic and some crabbing" so that's what we'll do in the summer holidays, an extra treat for his birthday :)
I still can't believe he's nine years old! It's craziness.

The funny fingers by Nikalas Catlow, David Sinden and Matthew Morgan.
Publication date: 15th May 2014
Age range: 3+
Price: £6.99
'
The Funny Fingers are an oddball family of digits who find fun and
humour in everything around them. Even when their miserable neighbours,
the Terrible Toes, try to spoil their happiness, the Funny Fingers
manage to turn a mishap into an exciting adventure.This is an original, feel-good new series with accessible, commercial appeal. Young children and parents can also mimic characters with their own fingers as an additional activity while reading.'
Ellie and I sat down together to read this book. It's about a family of fingers who love to have fun! The neighbours (two toes) however, don't like having fun and really don't like the finger family having fun!
"I love the characters, they're great fun and the story is very exciting" is what Ellie had to say about this book!
We giggled our way through this book, Ellie really enjoyed it! She loves the part where the hot air balloon popped best! Her favourite character was Errol, the foot mosnter, the thought of a foot monster is halarious, according to Ellie!
Priced at just £6.99 from Egmont, I would say this book is well worth it in my opinion. It's original, funny and unique with beautifully illustrated pictures to keep children interested and entertained!
The next book out in this series is called 'The Funny Fingers Have a Party' which comes out this September (2014) and Ellie is already looking forward to reading that! :)

Read with me.
We received a copy of this book for the purpose of this review, all opinions are my own, honest, personal opinion.
This weeks 'The Prompt' is - TV: could you live without it?
Yes. I think I probably could. To be honest, I go through phases with T.V. I do like to watch Eastenders and Corronation street. The rest of my shows I watch online, netflix or youtube. However, I do think I could live without watching T.V. Although, I would probably miss watching all the old episodes of home and away on youtube. You know, the really early episodes with Bobby, Sophie, Pippa etc in?!
I would probably get more blogging done and more reading, too! Maybe I should challenge myself to give up watching T.V for a couple of weeks and see how much I achieve!!
The kids don't really watch THAT much T.V any more. They use to when they were smaller but now they'd rather be doing other things, like playing football, making loom bands and being creative! Which I am rather pleased about.
