Cooking lessons and photo sorting!!

Mummy doesn't exist ~ when the Wii is on!!!!



My new photo album, all ready for me to destroy ~ oops I mean make beautiful!!



The children were given a Nintendo Wii for Christmas ~ from their Father. Although they are not the kind of children who like to be inside playing games (they would much rather be outside causing trouble lol!!) ~ they do occasionally like to play each other at the sports and racing games.

A week or so ago I bought them a game that sounded quite interesting to me, it is called Cooking Mama and it basically is a game where you cook!! Oooh I thought, what a good way to have some fun and improve my cooking!!!!! Well, the game is great fun and the children love it BUT ~ it has not actually improved the standard of my cooking one bit (as the poor worn out smoke alarm will tell you!!! ha ha!!). Anyway, tonight the children decided that they would have a cook off between the pair of them ~ so battle commenced..........there was much shouting and arguing between them and Lauren told Daniel he was cheating (every time she was loosing!). I must have asked them about a million times what they wanted for dinner, but they were totally oblivious to the fact that I even existed and carried on flinging their arms about with the controllers (goodness knows what they were cooking). In the end I just gave up and went and made them something that I thought they would like!! It is so nice that my children actually pay attention to me (NOT!!).

Tonight I have been sorting out photographs, ready to put in albums. This is a job that I have been meaning to do for a long time, but as with everything else, I just never got round to it. Today I went and bought an album (I wanted 4, but the shop only has 1 at the moment, until more are in stock later this week). I intend to use this first album for pictures of both the children and then do an album of them individually aswell. In the morning I am going to the craft shop to buy some bits and pieces to decorate the inside of the album, so that it looks a bit more colourful and fun (all ideas very welcome ~ please!!). At least when this is completed I won't have to root through boxes when I am looking for a particular photo, it should be in an album (well that is the plan!!).

It has been quite an easy and uneventfull day today, but for some reason I am still exhausted!! Children have a tendency to do that to you ha ha!!

Back to the photo sorting now, and I hope you can give me some ideas as to how I can decorate these albums!!! (as they will look very boring with just plain white pages!!) X
