What a perfect day!! We woke up this morning around 7am and Blue came through to remind us it was his birthday so we went downstairs, had Blues favourite brekkie Smoked Salmon with Scrambled eggs and then Alex came round for around 8am.
After Blue opened his cards and presents, we told the children that we were going to Pleasure Island and that we would be going on some rides and maybe even a roller coaster. They were super excited and we got in the car and headed off to Cleethorpes.
We had a voucher to get in for £11 each and the 2 youngest ones didnt have to pay as it's free for 3 and under. £33 for the 5 of us didnt seem bad although I wasn't expecting there to be an awful lot there for the younger ones.
First we went on a mini boat ride round a mock sweet factory (Tinkerboos sweet adventure water ride) which was brilliant, the kids loved it and it was nice to find a ride straight away that we culd all go on together. Afterwards Blue had a go on the dodgems with Daddy which he absolutely loved!
We had a look around and the kids went on various rides and into a play area which was really good and I was suprised that everything was positioned in a way that the older children could go on rides and there were smaller rides and play ares very close by so the younger ones werem't sitting around bored. Blue had a go on the Aquasphere which was basically one of those hamster balls, big enough for him to climb in, that you could walk on water on. This was brilliant and he had great fun although he didnt do much walking in fact he didnt really move of his belly for long!
I asked Blue if he fancied going on a pink knuckle ride with mummy and he exitedly agreed so went on the razzle dazzle which was really fun, we giggled the whole way round and Hayden turned to me halfway and said ''this is the best birthday ever'' so cute!!!
We went on a few other rides and the younger 2 went on lots of tea pot style rides and mini rollercoasters and Blue went on the mine train which he thought was ace.
We then went to Fatima's fish and chip shop which was lovely and great value too! We bought 4 x sausage and chips as the younget 2 shared and there was plenty for £3.50ish so that was excellent as i was half expecting the food and drink to eb expensive once we got in. It was only 60p for a captisun which I thought was really good as its more ezpensive at the local spar!
Anyway after a cracking day we came home and had tea with Gangang and Chrissy and Blue got to open a few more presents before bed time. Before bed though which ended up being really late and the kids finally headed up around 9.30 I realised how quickly the dark night were coming in, only 3 weeks ago me and daddy would be enjoying tea and a glass of wine in the garden after 9pm and the sun would still be out. Tonight at 9.15 Blue laid on the lawn watching the stars and it was pitch black!! How bizzare, this can only mean one thing... the Summers coming to an end and it will be back to school vry soon which makes me feel sad but then also the thought of cost evenings in and the approach to Christmas makes me feel quite sparky and happy.
So I go to bed now as a mummy of a 3 and 6 year old!! How come 6 sounds so much older than 5? :-(

Movie night for Blue's birthday
Tonight we had a movie night for Blue's 6th Birthday, he actually turns 6 tomorrow but as it was half price pizzas at the pizza shop and its only Tuesday- Thursday we decided to make it a Thursday night movie night.
It got to the last day of term and despite asking Blue numerous times whether he wanted a party and him declining, he decided the night before the last day of the school year that actually he would quite like a few of his school friends round to watch a film. So I printed some movie tickets out the night before and sent them in the book bag and reminded him to pass them out during the day. When he came home that evening sure enough they were still in his book bag so I spent the first day of the holidays trying to locae each of the parents to invite his friends!
So 6 friends quickly became 12 when he added a couple extra from his swimming class and then a few more from football lessons too!
It was all very last minute as we had a visit from Blues auntie and cousin and we had been to the park and out for some lunch so we finally came home at 3pm and our guests were due to arrive at 4. We hadnt put any balloons or decorations up, bought any party bags or sorted a cake! We also had to get Pink and Blue washed and ready to greet the guests and so we were cutting it very fine!
We managed to find a film he wanted to watch and downloaded it and then bought some popcorn and fruit shoots. We ordered some half price pizzas and away we went. Blue had an amazing time eating pizza with his mates and they even managed to watch a total of 30 minutes of the film before demoloshing the fancy dress cabinet and off they went wrestling in the garden, boys will be boys so we let them run off some steam before we gave them icecream and packed them off to their parents 3 hours later armed with a gigantic lolly as it was all I could find rather than party bags at short notice!
I was particularly impressed with Blues cake, as we didnt want to fill them up with too much sweet junk whilst they were here as they would be having popcorn and icecream I very quickly made a movie themed cake. I started by turning my fruit bowl upside down and sticking the bags of butterkist popcorn around the sides, I then made a secod layer by stacking the fruitshoots on top and then positioned the dvd on the top and then placed a few of the lollies that would be take home gifts around to make it a bit more pretty. I stuck 6 of the candles onto some ribena cartons and placed them around too so it looked quite good and he still got the effect and to blow out his candles.
Thats it now, he's in bed tucked up and were hoping to take him to Pleasure Island tomorrow for his birthday so that will be a nice surprise.

[Sponsored Review] Crystal Vivian, Dizoneye Grey, Geo Starmish
Lensvillage has sponsored me three pairs of lenses to review!
Life Span : 1 Year
Diameter : 16.5mm
BC : 8.6mm
Water Content : 38-42%
I absolutely adore these lenses! They are so comfortable and natural looking! I am super happy with this pair!
Comfort:
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤/5
This is the most comfortable pair out of the three by far! I can wear them all day and no irritation at all! I am so impressed!
Design:
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤/5
I really like the design. It looks quite natural and make the eyes look very watery. I was actually hoping that these lenses will make my eye colour look as light as the promo pictures but I think that can only be achieved under bright lighting.
Enlargement:
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤/5
I like the enlargement effect!
Life Span : 1 Year
Diameter : 14.5mm
BC : 8.6mm
Origin: South Korea
Comfort:
❤ ❤ ❤/5
The first time I wore these lenses they weren't very comfortable. My eyes felt dry and I had to constantly use eyedrops. The next couple times I wore these lenses, they weren't as bad.
Design:
❤ ❤ ❤/5
I have been wanting to try these lenses for a long time because Leah Dizon makes them look really good! Unfortunately, they look very normal and natural on the eyes.
Enlargement:
❤ ❤ ❤/5
At 14.5mm, it is one of the smaller, natural sized lenses on the market
Life Span : 1 Year
Diameter : 15mm
BC : 8.7mm
Manufacturer: Geo Medical
Comfort:
❤/5
I don't know if it is because I received a faulty pair of lenses or what, but one of the lenses was so uncomfortable! I could only wear these lenses for around one hour to take these photos and when I took them off, one of my eyes was very uncomfortable and red! I found this very strange because I have had no problem with all the other Princess Mimi lenses and they are actually the brand I use the most!
Design:
❤ ❤ ❤/5
Natural looking brown lenses. A lighter brown version of the chocolate coloured version.
Enlargement:
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤/5
The enlargement effect is quite nice, a very good size for lenses
I hope you found this review useful!
