This week has been lovely. In fact the last two weeks have been great. It’s been rather busy this week. Jake had a swimming Gala today, Mia had her tester session at St Dunstans and I have been running around on the Xtracycle trying to sort out my flat car tyre. I cycled down to …

Mia’s first film
Jake has been really wanting to watch Epic at the cinema. He has been playing the official Nexus 7 app incessantly for a few days now and has watched the trailer many times. Amy asked Mia if she wanted to go too. This was met with a resounding YES! We arrived early enough to purchase …
Is it Spring? maybe
It is the middle of May and yesterday the temperature was only a chilly 9 degrees. We have had a couple or warm days but mostly it has been cold and wet. Again, I have put off planting anything in the garden so again I don’t have much going on there. I’ve planted some pea …
Toothy grin
Jake has at last lost his top tooth that has been threatening to fall out for what seems a very long time. Mia is an utter poppet. She is in a dress and tights phase at the moment and refuses to wear anything else. This evening I heard her crying so I went to investigate. …
Taggie version 3 or is that 4?
While Amy was valiantly getting her dissertation proposal finished this weekend, I decided to head to Bluewater to search for Mia’s birthday present. We wandered around for ages going from shop to shop. I bought her a pair of slippers as a birthday present from Jake. I also bought Jake a nice dressing gown and …
Bike video
Mia, who doesn’t watch any TV or DVD’s or anything like that has taken a bizarre liking to a video featuring Danny Macaskill and Chris Hoy. Every evening after stories she will ask for ‘bike video’ or ‘derny bike?’. Here it is in all its glory.
All change
I decided the other day to upgrade Mia’s cot to a ‘big girls bed’ now that she is doing so well with her potty training. We went into the attic room and retrieved the mattress and extra items required to turn the cot into a Stokke Sleepi Junior. When I studied the instructions I saw …
Mia’s interview at St. D’s
Mia has been very chatty lately. Today she had her St Dunstans school ‘interview’. It wasn’t really an interview, just a general chat about the nursery. Good job really because when Mrs Scard handed Mia a red brick Mia said “Yellow brick!” Pet lamb 🙂 Afterwards Mia said “Me Like teacher”. What an angel! So …
Time has flown
Jake is now 6 and has been for a while. We had a joint Hogwarts party with Charlotte and Ben because Antonia too is a great fan of Harry Potter. The venue was great, a church hall a stones throw away from Crofton Park station. The best thing though was the entertainer. She came dressed …
Dodgy burgers and prolonged illness
It’s the tail end of February and I’ve just realised that this years photo February project has passed me by. Photo March has a nice ring and the days will be longer and hopefully a little warmer. It’s been an odd sort of month. I was off sick for a week. Amy was ill at …
