Catchup – halloween, the dentist and the flat tyre!

Half-term break is over – yeah!  I loved it, but love it being over too.

Since my last blog post…here’s what’s been happening :

• pumpkin carving

• sparklers

• fall fest – our church alternative  to the usual festivities for families (bouncy castle, live music, fancy dress, pumpkin carving, puppet shows, craft, food – all free)

• fireworks

• trick-or-treating (no photos – never assume you have downloaded all your images before clearing your memory card 🙁 – oh well!)
• trip to IKEA
• kids back to school
• took 3 kids to dentist – thumbs-up all round
• FLAT TYRE on way home from dentist – getting dark, raining heavily and 3 tired.hungry kids in the car
• RAC membership expired – eeek – renewed in the car from the side of the road
• 30 minutes trying to explain to the RAC operator exactly where we were 
• 30 more minutes of waiting, and the truck turned up
• seeing our car on the back of a recovery truck and getting to ride in the cab ALMOST made up for our adventure (well, only if you are 6!)
• Home sweet home, 3 miles and 90 minutes from the start of the puncture!

 photo taken with iphone – and NO – my car is NOT on fire!!! (just the lorry lights)

• 45 minutes later leaving the house to see West Side Story at local school – amazing production, and great to see kids I remember as wee babies now taking the main roles! 
• Getting tyre replaced today

So……what’s happening in your life?!!
