A Few Things I've Loved In September

It's been a long time since I wrote on here. There's no real reason, it's just that life just flies by so fast, that we came to the end of the month before I realised!

I thought I'd let you know just a few things that I've loved this month and give you an insight into our busy month of September!

 

Celebrating my Sister's birthday

My sister will love me sharing this with you, I'm sure! So this month, my little sister turned the big 3-0! To celebrate, my sister-in-law's and myself took her out to celebrate! It was a hilarious evening and even now is making me tear up with laughter! I've never seen anyone eat waffles with a knife and fork and spread on ice cream with a knife as if it was butter! Joanne, I'm looking at you!!!

Mikey went to Drama

Mikey has loved drama ever since he was at primary school. It really helps with his confidence and his anxiety of speaking in public. He has been doing drama after school since Y7 and takes part in all the school productions. However, this month, Mikey took one step further. He joined a local youth theatre group and loves it! After the first session he went to, we were told that under no circumstances were we to walk him in or get out of the car to pick him up. It's embarrassing! We have to drop him off at the door and pick him up there every week!!

Mikey and Dot at the allotment

At the beginning of the month, Mikey and Dot spent the day at their grandparents. They both had a ball, as usual, but the best thing they said they did was go my mum's allotment. Mikey has been helping my mum grow different vegetables for a long time, but it was Dot's first time visiting. She even helped herself to some of the produce, eating as much as she could of sweetcorn before my mum and dad could stop her!!

Mikey running

At the end of the last school year, Mikey has been trying to beat the school record for the 1500m. He was only a few seconds off, so to increase his fitness and to prepare himself for next term's cross country trials, he has been training every week at the local playing fields! He has always loved long distance running and took it upon himself to go running. On occasion we walk round with him, but he's so fast, he laps us every time, then stands there tapping his foot waiting for us to get back to the start!!




So that's just a taste of what we've been up to this month! How was your September?
