Busy

And this is why!

Finally, hurrah, they are both at school.  The down side of the smallest small being there is that it's only 3 hours a day.  So my toiling up and down the road has increased from two trips to three.  It really disrupts the day, I can tell you.  And the poor little sausage doesn't even get to stay there for lunch, she has to walk home first - cue a tanty immediately we get through the door.  I am knackered, she is knackered, we're all sick of it - except - SHE LOVES SCHOOL.  I am so pleased, and she is coming on a treat.  Roll on next term when she is there properly, all day.

Children and Cats

I'm so proud! My baby boy made front page of the local paper - for the Reception Class supplement they printed yesterday. I know it's not the world press, but there were a lot of other classes, and his was the one they picked out for the cover. And look, he's quite cute - doing his best photo face!

It's been a source of fascination to both the children, leafing through all the pictures - from every reception class in most of the county - 'who's that girl mummy, what's her name?' - for children in schools miles away! If you click through to the Echo, you can see his class photo (and all the rest).












And then, last night, whilst I was cooking and he was doing dishes, Teflon boy pointed out this in the corner:
Never mind chicken in a basket, eh!
