stuff...

Sam is at the theatre today with the school. They're seeing the Wizard of Oz. I'm dying to know how they are getting along. I'm collecting him & his best friend Harvey from the coach at 5:30 - seems hours away. Sam has a new girlfriend (he's had far too many for a 4 year old). She's called Jessica and they are constantly holding hands - soooo sweet According to Sam she is "beaufitul". Toby is back in his washable nappies now - there are just sooo many cute ones you can buy now..... He had his first major paddy when I dropped Sam off at school. He wanted to stay. I might try him for a morning at pre-school in the new year. There will be no excuse for their slightly cuddly mummy not to get her butt into gear and take up running again....

The sun at last...

You don't mind the school run - even in winter - when the sun shines.

return to fluff

Well we got nowhere with Toby toilet training so we are back on the gorgeous washable nappies. There really is nothing cuter that a fluffy cloth bum - so much nicer (and safer) that those hideous gel filled, land fill choking, plastic ones....

Swine flu.to vaccinate or not to vaccinate?

We are currently being sent letters from our surgery to get the boys vaccinated against swine flu. The trouble is I am not convinced it is a good idea. I can't find anything on the web that is positive that isn't government funded and there is a vast amount against.

A recent robust statistical study estimated that in the non-pandemic years of 1979-2001, seasonal flu killed an average of 41,400 people every year. Swine flu has been active in the US since April, and the death toll, as of 10 July, is 211."

The sceptic in me wonders why we are suddenly vaccinating against a flu that has killed so many less than the ordinary strain.

mmmmmm scrummy...

Time to bake...one chocolate cake for the school Christmas fayre tomorrow.....just got to keep the boys away from it....

Sam is going to be a star in the nativity play - awwww bless!

He had his best friend Harvey over for tea yesterday and was soooo excited. He even woke in the night in tears worried about where his friend was. They had a great time.

It's Halloween!!!!

Daddy has been at the pumpkins again. The boys are seriously impressed......so am I - there's no way I could carve these.....well done Billy xxx

lovely day!

As Daddy was away today on his Harley, the boys and I decided it was time for a big adventure so headed to Dorset. We ended up at Swanage and had breakfast on the beach - we had the beach to ourselves and it was gorgeous. We spent the whole day there - on the swings, seeing the steam trains etc. Lovely time :0)

hoping....

Sam & Toby making sure the chimney will be big enough for Father Christmas and two bicycles....

summer is ending..

The boys & I have had a great time out & about all summer and Sam has started big school which he loves. We spent a week with Granny & Grandad on Anglesey and luckily had some good weather. The boys seemed to have doubled in size and cheekiness....

The Darling Buds of May.

We had a great day yesterday at the Darling Buds of May Classic Car show. I am a big fan of th Darling Buds so it was lovely to see where it was all filmed - what a gorgeous place to bring up children.
