but instead it turned into a bunch of photos that i had on my phone….
1. Isaac does his homework perched on the dining room table like a cat. I finally realised that he had grown a bit too much for some of his PJ's and got him some more…..
2. I took Matilda to a local outlet and we popped into a pet shop and she had a blast wandering around talking to the 'wish' and the 'piggies' (guinea's) and the bunnies. I love that when she looks at this pictures she says 'tilda' 'wish'
3. Maisie on her birthday. She was totally made up with the London 2012 olympic top and the dog was her present of choice from us. It barks and walks on a lead….oh and she has called it Sally.
4. Our car has joined the list of inanimate objects that are choosing this moment in time to pack up in this house…..the oven is now fixed(thanks to my talented husband) and the tumble dryer has been replaced but the car could be somewhat of a bigger and longer problem. Thanks goodness for the AA man who towed us home and we now are awaiting the estimate…!!
5. We had some friends drop by and spend the night with us on saturday. They were dropping their son at university in Manchester and came up to see us. The last time they were here was our wedding…!! So good to see them, its just one of those friendship when the years not seen fall away and you are suddenly picking up where you left off. The kids loved them because they bought a ton of chocolate with them!!
6. There never seems to be enough hours to sleep round here….
7. Poppy is finally in a her first week of full time school. She seems to be flourishing there and her teacher remarked to me how confident she is. Always good to hear. She had her phonic sticker book last week which she approached with real enthusiasm..wonder how long that will last.
8. Sometimes life feels like there is a lot of 'up hill'
9. Matilda makes me laugh out loud a lot at the moment, she is fast learning words and seems to add more and more every day. She is a bright little button too…she followed me around the other day saying 'pooey' and i asked her 'have you done a poo?' She said 'no' and then next time she appeared with the change mat and said 'pooey'…so i checked it out and discovered…well suffice to say it would have been better to listen to her sooner….!
10. Im moving on to Isaac's party plans now. He is 8 in just under 3 weeks…..8…..how in the heck?
