The funniest sight....

A florist in the making....

Saul seems to see flowers everywhere
he goes, and he has to gather them!





He filled his own lunch box, and when I spied the
flowers inside, I was full of emotion and such delight.
he seems so sensitive and sees beauty everywhere.
He always wants to give flowers too. I hope he keeps
that quality well into adulthood. He'll keep some sweetheart happy!




Gathered at school and left in the car...




Nearly holiday time....














We took a trip to Maynooth playground
last week, and as usual, there was never
enough time! Its a great playground that
caters for older children as well.

Happy Father's Day!


To the most wonderful dad, Thank you.....

Teddy Bear's picnic

We headed to the zoo for a quick
visit for the Teddy Bear's Picnic.
It was an attempt to break the
World record of Teddies in one
place. They managed to get 6,448
on the day, but it was a long way off
the 1995 record of 33,000+++
We had fun anyway, and our boys
brought 27 bears among them.
The playground at the new Giraffe
enclosure was a big hit.





This bear back pack is full of little bears!


Yippee





Busy busy weekend

On Sat we had a spontaneous visit to Siobhan
in Wicklow, and look how her rabbit has grown!

Help...


It seems now that Dad is the only cool, and
interesting parent in our house. He can answer
any question, it seems, and the timing is perfect!

Happy birthday Karen!



Old town, Albufeira...




The original Crehan 5



A little trip to the sun....

Meet Crock......
Ok, poor Crock. Three Irish women are just
two too many for one crocodile!

He makes his escape...



But he comes to a bitter end anyway.


Not even the kiss of life from Claire can help.
Sad goodbyes.

Happy Boys

Little rogue got the first strawberry
waiting...








Happy Boys, in this image.
How I wished I could have turned
off the sound for the afternoon, as they
fight continuously among themselves.
It drives me insane!





More picnic fun

We ended up in Helena's garden yesterday..

Heading home from Donadea..
Come on Mum...




This will help.

Aubrey discovered a 'secret' place
and was so delighted with himself!





Sunny sunny days

We headed to Donadea for a picnic
on Sunday with Martina, daisy and
Aideen. It was so magical, and a real
reminder of the simple pleasures of
life, good company, yummy food and
a beautiful place in the sun...









I love this photo of martina and Daisy. She just
wanted to keep moving, and bless Martina, but
she just wanted to sit down for a minute. No Chance!
