mass helicopter flight!

by Modifiedmummy @ 10/10/2007 - 21:42:50

If any of you will remember, on my first post I made mention of orcastrating a mass Helicopter flight!

Sadly, this probably isn't as exciting as it sounds!

The helicopters I was referring to, are those which fall from trees around autumn time, spining softly as they fall.

I love those things, more than conkers, more than toffee apples, more than almost ANYTHING to do with autumn (except halloween of course!) and couldn't wait to throw a load all at once...

but the hill outside my house(more of a lump than a hill actually) had been sectioned off... so turf could grow :( kids play on it all the time (as that is what it is designed for) and had worn the grass away. So they'd closed it off, so it had a chance to grow back.

Eventually we got peeved at it being closed for so long, and decided today was the day! We had a box, and had been collecting these helicopters since I first mntioned it, weeks back! So we had plenty. It was a bright sunny day, the kids were around, and off we wenty, to throw them!

I wanted to throw loads, because last year we did the same thing, on a smaller scale. It looked impressive as just a few handfuls sailed through the air. So of course, I wanted it to be bigger and better!!

And here you go! Popple (my partner) is the man in charge, I was holding the 'phone, and trying to get the kids (which assembled en masse when they saw what we were doing) to be co-ordinated. I apologise for the crappy quality, and if you can't see it well, then I'm sorry again. It truly was awesome!


We'll have to try again next year too!

I'm such a big kid. I hope I never grow up!

Still playing around with my other blog, trying to get into the swing of things, and find a style I truly love (although I quite like the one I have now). I'll get there eventually!


 
 

The morning walk = sweat

Well, slowly I'm getting the hang of my new blog. It's fun going through all the add-on's and the like. Hopefully eventually it'll look like something not just slap dashed together.

I just wrote on it, an entry regarding 'sleep sex', or sexsomnia. It's a condition I believe that my partner has, but it's not very well known as of yet. It's basically a form of sleep walking I think.

I've got lots of plans for blog entries, but I'm not going to use them all at once. And I'm not going to put ads on straight away (mostly because I've not even looked into how to do it yet!)

Just got back from walking Callum to school, and I'm all tired and sweaty. but that's what you get when you exert yourself and you're really overweight!

tatty bye.

I've moved!

Well, not moved exactly.

my new blog is now located at www.modifiedmummy.co.uk/blog

But however, I shall keep this account open and most like post snippets here from the main blog... or full posts. I obviously haven't decided yet!

Hope to see you there,

laura

It'll be soon...

Well then.

Hopefully in the next day or so I'll have the blog lement of my new site up and running, and from that I can expand the rest of the site. It's wierd, but I want the blog element to be there before the rest get's sorted out.

I've had to ask someone else to install it for me ('cause I suck) and hopefully they'll manage to get around to it.

I've got myself a wee file of different idea's and plans etc etc which I believe should be quite interesting.

I also found yesterday (via stumble) a site whose premise is exactly what I was/am planning. It's been going since 2002 so my idea certainly wasn't new! (but then again, how often is anideanew and/or original these days eh?)

So I'll be having a look around tht site, seeing how they function, figuring out what I want to do and how differently. Of course, I'm not taling about copying anything, but inspiration!

tatty bye,
