Hmm, mealtimes have been taking an age lately, in the most part due to Ned, talking to much and not eating enough, especially when it's something he doesn't like (which is most things these days).
Yeah, allright greedy guts, just because you'll eat anything thats put in front of you. Well anyway, they've started using a kitchen timer on the table now and if i'm not all done by the time the buzzer goes off I don't get any pudding! Harsh or what? I bet all these good parenting books and television programmes don't condone this sort of thing. Anyway, the first timer myseriously stopped working afte a little while, don't know how that happened.....there's another one now though and it does seem to have sped me up a little bit. I also do a good line in motivational speeches (to myself) encouraging me that I can do it!!!
I'm getting through several outfits in the course of my morning at nursery. They're hell bent on getting us out in the garden, even though it's muddy as anything out there. I don't mind at all, if I don't like what Mum dressed me in i'll make sure I get myself filthy enough to require a change of clothes into something from my spares bag. If I don't like my second ensemble, i'll go for it again until I get something i'm happy with.
We went to the Oasis swimming pool on Saturday, apparently it was the in place back in the 80's or something, it's still brilliant today! There was the most slides I have ever seen, a wave machine, water cannons and best of all it wasn't anywhere near as busy as the Coral Reef!!! I hope we get to again, it's my favourite pool of all.
I loved it too, especially the slides, even if I did keep bumping my head!
We hung about for a bit in the afternoon, before the big firework party!
I'd been looking forward to this all week, the Halfords were coming to stay for the night and everything. Here's a small selection of the rockets we had:
And here's a selection of the amassed hordes waiting to be entertained:
Even with three of them on the case it took over an hour to let all the fireworks off, to be fair the kids got bored and drifted off indoors to sit with the ever entertaining Auntie Christine.
While Owen had obviously gone and put in a shift in a local coal mine or something?
Here's my mean and moody pose:
The Halfords even stayed for breakfast and Max and I played on the computer, what a great morning!
On Monday I had to reprimand Mum for talking with her mouthfull during breakfast! Very poor example to set if you ask me.
We've had some very lazy afternoons this week, well the weather has been horrible hasn't it? We've been cuddling up, snoozing and watching telly. When we need a bit of excitement Ned builds my stacking cups up for me and then I knock them over:
