Haircut Days!

It's that time of the year again when me & the boys have our hair cut! I finally found a really good hairdresser last May that can cut my hair well. Best of all she comes to our house!! Timmy & Luke are getting better at having their hair cut thanks to Kelly & the aid of a packet of chocolate buttons each! Today's haircutting was quite a relaxing affair as Timmy & Luke fell asleep in the pram on the way back from picking up Jordan from school (hence Timmy's grumpy face in this piccie!). I try not to use the pram these days but it was raining & windy & we had to get home quickly for the hairdresser). Anyway, Jordan had his hair cut & then watched some telly while I had mine done without having to worry what havoc might be happening in the other room!! Anyway, the boys were excellent for their hair cuts but were a little bit hyper after having eaten a large bag (as opposed to the treat size bag) of choccy buttons! (Timmy told me at lunch time that he didn't want to have his hair broken!)
(Now this post will get a bit random as I uploaded my photos back to front! Here are some piccies & random ramblings from the Davies household over the past few days!)
Jordan took this photo of me on Sunday & I think he did a really good job! Not bad for a 5 year old eh?
Timmy has discovered dressing up!!!! I picked him up from creche at church on Sunday to find him wearing an enormous pair of pink fairy wings! Ever since then he keeps saying 'I want to dress up Mummy!' There hasn't been any call for dressing up clothes in this house before so it is a good job that Jordan made some butterfly wings at nursery last term! Timmy has worn them almost non stop. He's a little angel! (All 3 of them have been so good the past few days I said to them that I have one Super Star, one angel without wings & one angel with wings for sons!) Both him & Luke have been changing shoes a lot too. They are into wearing their beach jelly shoes around the house & keep asking to go to the beach. Perhaps they are feeling a bit wintery....I lead the 3-5 year old Sunday School at church (called Sparklers) & the over past 5 weeks the children have been learning that God made them special. We have been using Psalm 139 which talks about God knowing everything about us & that we are wonderful! We have looked at how God made our feet to dance, run & jump, how God gave us ears to hear his Word (in the Bible), how we have hands that can help people & a heart that God made to love others but most importantly to love him. I did this session & used The 4 Points to talk about how much God loves each one of us. The kids made heart necklaces that week with plastic drinking straw beads & card hearts threaded onto wool! It has been fun! At the end of this Sunday's session the children took home a sheet with a little boy or girl holding a mini book all about our senses. I always do the craft planned for Sparklers with my boys as a trial run to iron out any problems. Above is Jordan's copy of the God Made Me sheet. He loved doing it & was over the moon that the little boy can actually hold the book open!
This little piccie is one of me, Timmy & Jordan messing around in our office. Jordan thought it was hysterical taking pictures of ourselves!!
On Saturday Jordan went to friend's party so it was just me, Luke & Timmy around for the afternoon. We went in the garden even though it hailed & rained & was blooming windy! Luke had a great time pruning the tree & fixing the playhouse & football nets with a pair of toy pliers while Timmy tried to peddle the trike round the garden. Both boys are enjoying wearing gloves this winter (last winter they would have nothing to do with them despite the bitterly cold weather & all that snow in March!) Jordan had great fun at the party & totally wore himself out playing non stop from start to finish!


I went to another baby shower on Saturday night but forgot my camera! This time it was our friend Rachel's shower party. She is expecting twin girls next month. Her & her husband Alistair are Timmy & Luke's Godparents. Had fun playing games & being with friends.
And last but by no means least here a couple of photos of the boys playing with their train track! The top photo is from Saturday & the twins pretty much built this track by themselves! I was impressed! It is good to see them all developing problem solving skills & imaginative play. I love listening to them playing when they don't know I'm there! They are so sweet! (Mostly!!!)


Well, it has taken me a while to post on here so I had better sign off. Hope you are well! Have a great week. ;O)
PS It's only Tuesday & Jordan has already brought home 13 of his drawings (a lot of self portaits & family) & 2 blue accident slips (both for banging his head on a wall!! Apparently he has a lot less accidents than some! My word!)

Super pickiwicks! It was worth your effort putting the blog together tonight and the posers in the family made me laugh! It's good to see the dressing up. When we visit you this weekend I shall come as a pirate (I'm afraid!) and hope to enjoy a good play with the train track; it looked especially grand in the photo now it's big enough to separate the conflicting controllers!
Hugs all round, Ken xxxxx

Well, you have been busy as always! I dunno where you get your energy from! I am shattered after a day with two kids and Elizabeth is still only tiny! I love your God made me book! Christian has told James that God made him because He wanted him, so if you have a spare copy of the book that I could nick, I am sure he would love it!!! And Timmy looks so adorable in his butterfly wings!!!! Well, I am reminded too that James needs a haircut so maybe at the weekend..! Ta ta for now
