Catching up!

The days seem to have whizzed on by so quickly ~ my bum hasn't touched a seat long enough for me to write a blog post ~ let alone come and visit most of my bloggy friends ~ I will be over to see you all later ~ promise!!

So ~ a quick catch up for you ~ Friday the children were off school and the weather was typically wet and overcast ~ so we just did indoor things ~ a bit of craft and made some chocolate crispy cakes ~ which lasted about 5 minutes ~ the kids loved them!!
Friday night I had the second week of my paediatric first aid course ~ I now have 6 hours under my belt and another 6 hours still to do ~ so another 2 friday evenings spent bandaging and resususitating and all that jazz! Then I do not have to requalify for another 3 years so I shouldn't complain really (I do like to complain though ha ha !!).

Saturday was spent just mooching about ~ we did go shopping and had to go and get another fish ~ as Edward went to fishy heaven ~ we now have Edward 2, who seems to be doing ok (fingers crossed!!). Saturday night we had a DVD evening and the children had popcorn and treats.

Sunday we did the weekly food shop ~ I need to tie Laurens hands together next week to stop the little madam putting things in the trolley!! Then we had an afternoon at a bowling party ~ which was great fun. I am ok at bowling ~ but was particularly good this time ~ as they had the kiddy guards up at the side ~ I even got a strike!!!! Amazing what you can do when the ball cannot plonk off the side of the alley every time tee hee!!

Today has been wet again ~ so our plans to go to the Zoo have been shelved until a warmer dryer weekend ~ it seems silly to pay money and then spend the whole time under cover!

Instead we went to the cinema and saw this film.......

Coraline.

It was actually quite good ~ and Lauren loved it. It was quite a dark film and freaked Lauren out in places, but as far as films go ~ it wasn't bad and it certainly has a moral behind it too!!

After the film I took the kids to Pizza Hut (although god alone knows where they put all the food, after the popcorn, hotdog and sweets they had!!) ~ and they ate enough pizza and pasta and salad to keep them going for a week!! (Please note that my children do not usually eat this much junk in one long weekend ~ but sometimes it just happens ha ha !!)

I am back to work tomorrow, although the children do not go back to school until Wednesday ~ when Lauren has a school trip to a farm and then Thursday they have the school photos ~ so we will have to wait and see what the mugshot looks like this year!! It is quite sad really ~ as this is their last year together in the same school ~ so this is their last school photo together ~ until Lauren goes to senior school, which isn't for a good few years yet!!

Well, another week is stretching out ahead of me ~ so I had better go and make a start on the ironing ~ oh joy!!

Hope you all had a great weekend ~ will be over to say hi to you all very soon XXXXX
