Its the end of the Summer, time to preserve the memories!

I think that I can now safely say that Summer is at an end, and that it is time to start thinking about how we are going to make sure we all have enough memories to get us through the rain filled, snow covered, wind blown days of Autumn, Winter and Spring... please don't throw things at me! Look cute pictures of Baby Boy and Top Ender all wrapped up warm, don't throw things at me!

In years gone past I have found the best way to remember that we did have a few days of Sun is to put up a picture that I can look at and remember. I did it when we got back from our Honeymoon (they are in our bedroom), Top Enders first walk on the beach (they are in the Kitchen), a fun night we had at a Holiday Park (Top Enders room) and even the pictures that I entered in to the Motherhood Gallery at CyberMummy are up in frames (the living room).

The thing is that I hate to pay a fortune for my prints and I rather like things being quick and easy. And this is why for me I like to order my prints over the Internet! One of my Twitter followers is from a site that lists all the places where you can get free prints (http://www.freephotoprinting.net/) as long as you haven't registered with them before!

So if you are looking to preserve your memories of the summer that brought us the final Big Brother, Toy Story 3, The new and fantastic TV Series Sherlock, and some Sun then make sure you get some pictures printed free or otherwise!

Top Ender Giggles - Sharing memories

Last Saturday we all went to see an Open Air Film Festival showing of Grease.

On the way to the screening we had explained to Top Ender that the film we were going to see was as old as Mummy and Daddy (well actually its older than me but you know ;o) ) and was what would of been our equivalent of High School Musical.

She sat for the most part enthralled and it was on the way out that we asked her what she thought

"Did you like it Top Ender?" I asked, hoping that she did so I could put the DVD on at some point
"No, I didn't like it" she answered
"Oh" said Daddy and I disappointed and wondering if our singing had put her off
"I loved it!" she squeaked

Phew!

Top Ender in the Summer

Top Ender wearing a pink straw hat

Top Ender and I were talking on the way to school this morning about a water fight we had last year. It was only a few days before Baby Boy was born, and gloriously hot.

Top Ender and I sat in the Garden in swimming costumes and hats and slathered ourselves in sunscreen dipping our feet in the paddling pool in an attempt to keep cool.

This image is one I keep of that day in my Minds eye and I wanted to share it with you too.
