#MySundayPhoto - Trip to the cinema

We decided this week to take the kids to the family films at the cinema. We love the weekend showings. At £2.50 per person (including adults) we can afford to take the kids to see a film. Its not the latest ones and they only have a small selection but it at least means the kids get the experience of going to the pictures.

Here is the kids waiting to go in to see this weeks films :)

#MySundayPhoto - Just a stroll in the woods

We have had some lovely weather this week. Summer has officially hit us! We have been in the new house nearly a year and despite having a gorgeous woods behind our house, we have never been down there for a walk! This week we decided that we would grab some drinks and some munchies and do some exploring.

The dog was well in his element and the kids had lots of fun. We found a few walking trails which we may explore at a later date. The kids were complaining about being tired so we left half way through :)

#MySundayPhoto : Beauty and the beast at the panto

One thing i enjoyed as a kid was going to the panto. We would go every year with the school and is one thing me and most of my friends looked forward to the most.

At £50 for a family ticket, the panto is a little out of our reach, especially after adding on bus fare and treats. We was lucky enough to be chosen for a family ticket from our local bus company and went along to the Easter productions. I know it defeats the object on this weeks photo but I have misplaced my phone and this one was handy.

We got to see a few familiar faces - Keith Chegwin and ITV's Anne Hegerty from The Chase. My childhood favorite Basil Brush was there as well to boom boom through the panto.

We loved it so much that when the Christmas shows come to Nottingham, we will be saving up to take the kids for a Christmas treat.

#MySundayPhoto : Just a random day out at the the carvery!

One thing we do not do often enough is go out as a family. Since taking a wee blogger break we have taken the time to do more things together. The kids are not getting any younger and ill be honest.. i'm missing out on too much.

Our local carvery had a fundraiser going on this week which we had a fantastic time at. There was little stalls and the carvery was down to £1.50 a person. The kids got their face painted and we go to play some games in the garden.

It was a great day out, the smile on the girls faces confirm that :)

#MySundayPhoto : A school award!

What a fantastic first week back at school! Little K got another special mentions! She produced an amazing writing piece before half term and got a little certificate and a present for her efforts.

Very proud of the little un who 4 years ago couldn't string a sentence together! Shes come so far. A certificate well deserved.

#MySundayPhoto : Indoor picnic

We have had a bug sweep through the Saving Mummy's Pennies household this week. We had planned a picnic with it being half term but the kids were too ill to go out. Not wanting to see them disappointed, we raided our cupboards and made a little picnic indoors.

I think the cheese on little K's face says it all :D
