Birthday treat

Poor little Ben is suffering with the chicken pox- it's keping him awake (which in turn is kee[ing us awake...)

On the bright side, he has a birthday treat to look forward to as I'm taking the family to Disneyland Paris just before his birthday. I've timed it so that we should catch the start of the Christmas festivities. Yey!

I do feel a bit guilty about doing Florida and Paris in the same year (and if we count the Lake District then that's three holidays) but they're only young once and I really want to see their reactions to Disney at Christmas!

Last time we went we caught the winter ice show, which was great (see below) so we know what they're capable of!

Disney matter

It seems ages since we got back from Florida (just over 4months ago) and I'm getting a hankering to go back again, but know I won't be able to afford it for a couple of years at least.

So, I figured I'd post some Disney stuff to cheer me up!

Here's a recent video on how they make their cartoons.

Back with a Boing!

Yep, I'm back from a 2 week vacation in Florida, and "back with a boing" too. Well, I should say "back with a Boing Boing" really as my beloved West Bromwich Albion won the Championship (the 2nd tier of England's Football leagues) today! Yay!

Already I've been on You tube to find some videos to celebrate this glorious occasion.

The Throstles with the Trophy!


Here's some pictures of the season set to some dodgy music.


Players celebrate with a slide towards the fans.


Pictures with more music!


And finally, someone's filmed the television, includes 1st goal today.


Although I've actually been back for 3 days I've been too I've been too tired to post. It's already gone 11pm tonight so I'll fill in some of the holiday details on another post some point this week, including all the highlights and low points.
