I am trying to post!

Just a quick hello to let you know that I haven't forgotten about my blog! I have been trying to upload piccies tonight & Blogger just won't let me! Well, it's either Blogger or our internet connection playing up (we are trialing something for BT so they told us things would be a bit hit & miss for the first few days). Anyway, as soon as possible I will get some photos posted.

A quick update then before I go to bed.... Jordan had a fantastic time in his school nativity play. He was an angel which actually turned out to be a bigger deal than I had thought although it wasn't a big part in the whole scheme of things. The nativity play was performed by the whole of the Infant School so not everyone got a part. the main roles went to Year 2 then a few smaller parts to Year 1 & in Reception I think there were only 6 of them that got up on stage, Jordan being one of them. Anyway, my pesky camera decided it was going on strike for the play so I have nothing to preserve that memory which is gutting especially as Lee couldn't be there to see the play. (Jordan's class teacher says she has got some photos of him in costume from when they went to perform the play for the outpatients at Aintree Hospital so that is good). Jordan did an excellent job of remembering his part & all the dance moves but doesn't yet know how to show off his natural exuberance on the stage. I am sure it will come though... it runs on both sides of the family! I was so grateful to our friend Jean who agreed to look after Timmy & Luke last minute so I could watch the play unhindered not least because it meant I could focus on Jordan's performance but also because the school hall was so packed out with parents that it would have been awful trying to contain 2 toddlers either in a double pram or standing at the back squashed between other parents & having to push past to take the boys to the loo if needed! So thankyou so much Jean! You are a star!

Timmy & Luke are doing really well with their potty training. I can hardly believe that they will start nursery in January! They seem to have grown up so much lately. I must tell you a funny thing that Timmy said tonight. I made carbonara for tea with peas in it. This was the first time I have given the boys peas in ages as Luke & Timmy had been refusing to eat food that had peas in it even when they liked the rest of the meal so I decided to stop doing peas for a while. Well, they both tried a pea & then left the rest. I said to Timmy 'Are you going to eat your peas? They are yummy!' to which he replied 'Mummy I can't eat them, I'm too young'!!!! That boy has a real sense of humour! We all had a good laugh at that!

We have had thick fog all day today in Liverpool. Lee was due to go to watch the Liverpool match tonight with his niece, Lauren & a friend but they cancelled it coz it was too foggy. You couldn't see from one end of the pitch to the other! It was a shame that they didn't get to go especially as the fog lifted just after they made the decision not to play! Still, we got to spend a bit of time with our niece which was lovely. Jordan was fascinated by the fact that Lauren had blue eye shadow on & kept saying to her 'You've got blue eyes all round here' pointing to his forehead! You can tell all the females he knows don't wear make up very often!!

Well, I must get to bed. I will try to post piccies & more news tomorrow. Hope you are well! :O)
