im just being lazy, not stopping by so much since last week,or was it even the week before *gasp* and even now, Typepad with all its new jiggery pokery is starting to wind me up and im not even a sentence in….<sigh>
so anyway, ten on tuesday…..or wednesday…
1. We sat with Isaac to watch the final of Euro 2008, he has been asking us about football a lot recently. Not surprising, Liverpool has such a football heritage, he is just coming across it at school. Neither of us are footie fans but we both sat with him for the first half of Spain v Germany. He spent most of the time kind of like this..’whatsthatmandoing?whyaretheredswinning?whenwilltheysoreagoal?whatarethosepeopledoingattheside?whyaretheysad?whydidtheyscore? etc etc. We sent him to bed at half time after Spain has scored and then watched the rest and both were pleasantly entertained….
2. What do you do if its tipping it down with rain? which um..is often…
get your UV protection suits on and pretend you are swimming at the beach, which is exactly what the girls are doing here, except the ‘sea’ kept getting all screwed up and not staying ‘straight’ so in the end was a little bit stressful, so we resorted to watching Hi 5 and their ‘summer rainbows’ (aussie accent needed there!)
3. Poppy is teething and has a cold….i dont really need to say anymore do i? 🙂
4. My love affair with the phil and ted buggy is wearing thin. Dont get me wrong, the idea is awesome but since they got so widespread, ie since mothercare got hold of them. The build quality is a bit questionable.
5. Saw a trailer for the Olympics in between the football and got very excited about it. Ben and I always watch the diving, swimming and gymnastics. Dont really know of GB’s hopes really, just like watching the spectacular.
6. Went to a wedding celebration barbie at the weekend for a wonderful guy and his wife from South Africa. He works with Ambassadors in Sport Havent seen him for a while and he is just the same. The kids had a good time and ate way too much cake!!
7. We are all fed up of school. Only 2 more weeks after this one YAY!
8. We have a new member of the household, a lodger called Hannah. i think she is settling in. The kids love the novelty at the moment and every teatime is a bit of a hiatus at the moment. I think she is a bit shocked by the time the kids get up!!!
9. The girls helped me make scones today, we did a few ’round’ shaped ones and then the girls raided the cookie cutter box and we ended up with a christmas stocking, some stars, tiny heart shapes and an umbrella!!
10. If you are in liverpool check out the superlambanana. These are popping up all over the place and have been personalised by schools, churches, and individual artists. The kids are enjoying seeing them and spotting them, there are two on the way home from school!
thats about all i have. back soon….
love me x
