Well, it has rained & rained here pretty much all day so we haven't really been out in the fresh air but we have done a LOT of stuff! Firstly the 2 piccies above are from yesterday. Jordan & I had fun taking silly snaps of ourselves & got some decent ones too. We laughed a lot taking the pictures. Jordan just got the giggles for some reason & then we couldn't stop laughing! In the afternoon (after Jordan had been to the holiday glove (as Timmy calls the holiday club) we made silly gigs (Scouse word for glasses!) which the boys loved. I must invest in some elastic thread to keep Timmy & Luke's on their heads though!
Today's craft activity was hand & foot print angels which Timmy & Jordan really enjoyed. Luke was not a fan of foot printing but he did enjoy doing the hand prints. Timmy really liked his feet being covered in gold paint & kept looking at his 'angel feet'. After we had done foot prints I drew around the boys feet so that they could colour them in in a less messy fashion. I had done Luke's & he was merrily colouring away & I had just finished drawing around Timmy's feet. I handed him the sheet of paper & gave him some pens & said 'There you go! Colour in your feet!' I then sat next to him to draw around Jordan's feet. A few minutes later Timmy pipes up 'Finished Mummy!' I stand up to see his sheet of paper in exactly the same state as it had been moments before. I said 'Timmy you haven't done anything yet!' to which he replied again even more insistently 'I've finished!' Realisation dawns on me & I look at his shoes which are now beautifully coloured in with purple & red pen!! Thank goodness it was washable felt tip pens we were using!
Timmy & Luke have been enjoying playing a colour matching game that my parents bought a while back. Each player has a train so that makes them very keen to play it!
After all the craft & running here & there getting shopping, picking up Lee from meetings & Jordan from holiday glove, er club, & going climbing trees in the park we were all pretty tired so we curled up on the sofa with the blankets & all snug & warm with the rain pouring down outside & watched a bit of telly. (Jordan has his gigs on to see the TV better!!!). I like the autumn weather & being all cosy inside watching the rain.....This evening I had a chat on the phone with one of my best friends from Junior & Secondary school. I hadn't spoken to her for 15 years! It was good to catch up again. It was strange hearing my old accent. It seemed alien to me after living away from it for all these years.....
Well, good night! See you soon!

Barbie says she likes the angels!
I say I marvel that you can find time to make so many things with the boys besides cook, clean and wash; go to school and back twice; take photos of every event throughout the day, then write up a blog and paste it tastefully on your website and still look serene when Lee comes home to a splendid meal and lively evening conversation as you pursue your scrapbooking.
What a girl!
Love, Kxxxxx
Good grief! I forgot the shopping!

Well thankyou for your very generous comments but it isn't quite like that! The shopping gets done here & there some weeks, the washing piles up ocasionally (!!) & the cleaning gets done less frequently than I would like but all round we seem to get along well. May I also add that we have a dish washer & a great freezer to freeze extra portions of meals I have cooked at a less hectic time which are invaluable when time is short! We laugh a lot so I think that makes up for any short comings! XX
