Well, spring in the city actually but it was so warm yesterday it felt like summertime! The morning was very cold & 'froggy' (as the twins call foggy days). We took Lee down to The Albert Docks after we had taken Jordan to school as he had a conference in The Museum of Liverpool Life all about Liverpool's 2008 Capital of Culture plans. He is an Ambassador for Liverpool! The boys loved seeing the 'chips' on the River Mersey emerging from the fog. By mid morning the fog had lifted, the sun was shining & the boys were playing very happily in the sandpit in our garden. Their favourite thing to do at the moment is to bury toy cars under the sand & then rescue them. By the time I took them to nursery it was baking hot! I went to Tesco's to get the weekly shop & also bought some rocket ice lollies which the boys enjoyed eating in the garden as soon as they got in from school. They spent all afternoon in the garden playing with their Little Tike cars & going in & out of the playhouse without so much as the tiniest of whinges or arguments. Jordan drove around the garden to look at new houses. He decided to buy one for £900 that had 4 bedrooms (with an extra large one for Mummy & Daddy) & a lovely garden too!
I cooked a roast dinner for tea with yummy organic carrots & broccoli & honey glazed roast parsnips. We ate outside much to the boys' delight. It really did feel like summer!
And now, just for a moment I am taking off the rose tinted spectacles to show you another part of our lives just in case you think life in the Davies household is peaceful & idyllic!! I took the photo last March when the boys were fighting over the toy hoover. I grabbed the camera to record the incident so that when the boys are older & ask about their childhood I can show them what their sibling fights were like!! I think we will laugh about them together in years to come. (I remember a photo my parents took of me at the park refusing to smile & obviously in a very big teenage mood. I have no idea why! It's funny to look at it now!). In many ways the boys are loving & caring brothers but the process of learning to share is a slow one, especially as 2 of the 3 brothers are the same age & have the same interests... I am reliably informed that siblings who fight a lot share a closer bond into adulthood...Well, that's all for now. I am off to spend some time with Lee who I have seen very little of late it seems! Hope you are well. Look forward to reading your comments & hearing your news soon. ;O)

It's so nice to have the garden to play in. Pity the children who have a yard. Had a story in school assembly about twins (grown up) who argued all the time! Didn't hear how it resolved but they ended up on a desert island so you can imagine!! xx
