1st November - a new month and another month added to the archives on the right hand side of the page. Where has the year gone so far? I enjoy looking back through my blog and seeing what we have done throughout the year. It also gives me a sense of pride to see what I have achieved! Last night I was flicking through old blog post's and found this blog post dated 22nd February 2013 where I said "I would love to make a blanket made up of granny squares". I finished my crochet granny square blanket on 9th October 2013, eight months later!
Last night I also did more updating to the Creations page (thanks to free wifi!). I was amazed to see that this year so far I have either knitted or crocheted 18 scarves!!!!!!!!!! I need to do more updating with all of the bits I have had a go at crocheting too, that will have to wait until we are home though.

Kids wanted to go crab fishing again today so we went to Weymouth again first thing this morning. We were lucky today, we caught THREE! Anais named them Ariel, Sebastian and Flounder.
There wasn't much room in the bucket for them all so it was a good job we only caught three and no more. Mark was going to tip the bucket over the side to let them go but this idea upset Roman as he said they would hit the water hard and get headaches and hurt themselves! He made Mark put them back in the net and gently lower them back into the water!

Anyone got any clever idea's I can do with these?
They were 10p each from the charity shop so I got all 8! They are Christmas patches.
Only thing I can think of is buying some red and green felt and making some Christmas Tree decorations with the kids and gluing or sewing these on the front.

We went to Portland this afternoon as when we went last Sunday it was too windy to get out of the car and when we went on Wednesday it was only a quick trip to see the Lighthouse while the fresh baked bread cooled. We managed a nice walk around Portland Bill and saw some nice sights.
We then managed to fly the kites for an hour on the grassy area. We took Mark's stunt kite out today so had three kites on the go. We had to take it in turns one person running between each of the three kites so people could have swap overs as we couldn't get close enough to each other in case the lines got tangled!
Mark's stunt kite is hard to fly and spent most of the time on the floor! We thought it was going to take off with Roman flying it! It needed a spare person to keep launching it in the air. It was all good fun though!

On the way out of Portland we stopped off at the view point again. I LOVE the view from up here. This is just how I like the sea side! Nice views and being by the sea but not actually going in the sea!
Last outing of the pumpkin tonight.
Mark brought me these flowers "home" on Friday but we hadn't got a vase to put them in so we used an empty pop bottle.
They are still beautiful so they are coming home with us tomorrow.

Last outing of the money pots for another 12 months *sad face*
Anais won another bunch of tokens, Roman won nothing but is going home with half a potful of change and Mark won these two racing toys.

I realised earlier I hadn't taken any photo's of the swimming pool (not allowed), ball pit or arcade.
Here is a picture of the huge ball pit. They have played in here every night.

Pinched from a friend's facebook but I really liked this quote!
Everyone is very sad to go home tomorrow we have had a lovely week. We have been swimming everyday, ball pit and arcades every day. We have been busy and done things, made things and seen things! We have caught fish, crabs and colds! We have flown the kites and almost flew ourselves away too! Anais is already talking about "when we come back next year..............."
