ten on thursday….

1. We are making pens contraband in our house…yep i know that sounds extreme but Matilda believes, i think, that all surfaces, faces, people, walls and toys do in fact come together under the giant banner of 'doodle pad' and nothing is safe. Yes she has even drawn on her sister…with a bic biro!

2. On the subject of sisters (the baby one) who had her immunisations on Tuesday and in the process of transfer to measuring mat type thing to the change mat managed to evacuate bladder all over me..and im not talking little tiny wee either. The health visitor laughed at me and said 'oh well i guess you are used to that though….'   'er….no….its not that often that my kids pee on me…you know i try to avoid it if possible….'

3. I have been searching for weeks for one of a set of little baby bootie things, they are amongst one of my favourite bits of baby wear, im not a great fan of baby socks..or anything really that doesnt stay put on a baby and most socks don't. Anyway i had this cute pair of booties and i lost one of them a while back…i had a bit of a search for it and finally summised that i must have left it somewhere…few weeks ago i was looking for something in Maisie's bed and i came across it acting as sleeping bag for some little weeny tiny doggies. Im fighting a loosing battle here…..

4. We are in the s-l-o-w process of cleaning up our hard drive. Its is currently doing the equivalent of a bowing table under a couple of ton of paper.

5. Does it feel about a month or two since new year to anyone else? 

6. Going round the block on scooters…..

7. The girls have started gymnastics at the local training centre..which is not your average training centre really as it has some very successful members. The dedication that the gymnastics people seem to have sort of scares me a bit. Its very beginner ish at the moment but i cant help but have this sneaking feeling that if they get good i might just have to sign my spare and not spare hours away to the cause…not sure im ready for that…and also some of those little kids doing the splits and laying their entire bodies on the floor at the same time scares me even more! 

8. the kids made their own pack lunches the other evening…which is pretty incredible. Isaac started it with the idea which i think was driven by the fact that he had spied a twix which he fancied in his lunch and so had the brainwave of making his own lunch to assure that he got it! 

9. Matilda started to call me 'sarah' just before christmas. I know there are some people who would just about have a fit but she is just copying what she hears others say and…um..it is my name…

10. Have you seen this kids programme . We really really like it and thats pretty rare. check it out if you have pre-schoolers or early learners in foundation stage..although my 8 and 6 year old love it to.

And so..yes i know its not thursday..i did start this on thursday and i was considering waiting till next tuesday to post it but…..

pah….

late afternoon on the mersey…just because…
