the Phone call

I just had to blog this call before I go to bed and forget it.
Logan was talking to one of her friends in Melbourne on the phone when she put Will on
W= hello whats your name
J=I’m “J” can you talk like a cyberman for me
W= no, I can’t change now, Im on the phone. [...]

I’m Cool

Now I’m not meant to know this BUT
I’M COOL
Yes that’s right me.
The one that forgets to brush her hair most days, who still breastfeeds a 3 year old and who some days fails to get dressed.
I am cool
Let me clarify,
Today is Logan’s MSN day, this is the day when she can spend several hours talking [...]

READ THIS

I found this sight today during a blog search it is for all mummy’s
http://shapeofamother.blogspot.com/2006/07/who-am-i.html
It is so empowering to see other mummy’s with their wobbly tummy’s, it is definitely worth a bookmark.
Since Logan was born I have always felt very self conscious about my stomach, and I hated anyone seeing it, even my own mum.  My [...]

this and that

We had a lazy weekend, nothing much was achieved. We did however take the T.V. out of the boys room. Originally it was for the xbox only, but this slowly changed to the boys laying in bed watching DVDs. So after one fight too many we took it out, reasoning that if [...]

Too good to be true

The boys were great yesterday (yay)by last night we had our answer, both had temperatures and upset tummies.  That didn’t stop them breaking the t.v.Ariel though in an argument that turned physical.  So now we can’t watch t.v.  The t.v. stays off most of the day and comes on at 4pm to watch Lazy-Town anyway [...]

GRRRRR

Yesterday Will and I made choc chip cookies.  They were very buttery thanks to Will chucking all the butter in the pot and me not realising until I started to clean up.  They went in the bin
Take Two
Today we decided to try again, this time putting the butter away that we weren’t going to use.  [...]

The Hamster

Just over a week ago, after finding a cage at a car-boot sale, we got a hamster.  Now being from Australia we don’t have hamsters so this was one of those spur of the moment things, it went a bit like
“oh is that a hamster cage? how much?
wow only £3 lets get it and then [...]

Days like this

I’m feeling better today so out the books came again. Erik is breezing through his work, Riley is struggling but that is because his maths books read like a cryptic puzzle, I have tried to get him a new one off eBay but they keep getting withdrawn from Auction, what is with that?? [...]

Maths

Well we have kept up the work I want the kids to do easily enough, Erik is actually really enjoying the maths side of it and is whizzing through the Saxon Math book. Logan doesn’t see why she has to do Maths as she doesn’t want to do Math as a GCSE subject, but I [...]
