Sad to say we didn’t manage to get our lovely house (aaahhh). We don’t feel too bad though as there were 8 tenders all similar prices to ours and then one that was 40K over the rest so obviously they were meant to have it. We’ll keep looking but it’s hard to imagine another house will measure up to that one.

Well tonight the boys are in bed early and we are nodding off over our dinner as it’s been such a busy week. Adrian has been flat out working on a fashion show which has meant we haven’t seen much of him over the last few days and he’s worked an enormous amount of hours on not much sleep but today we managed to all get out to the Christmas parade which was brilliant. The boys are just old enough to get really excited about it and pointed, clapped and danced along through the whole parade, they didn’t know who Santa was and why the older children were so excited but loved the banana’s in pajamas and the giant teddy’s and animals. Tom managed to spill a whole bottle of water on his pants so danced around in his nappy for most of the time but it was a hot sunny day so no-one cared.

The boys have had another busy week both learning lots of new words, they have started telling me when they have “poo” which is helpful but now it means we have to put nappies on their teddys and I spend hours having to change teddy’s nappy because he has “poo” (as if I didn’t have enough nappies to change!).

The boys favourite things for this week have been learning how to wake daddy up by running into the bedroom and shouting “daddy, daddy”, learning how to get onto the couch by themselves, Noddy (which they say “nonny”), and getting to play outside everyday now the weather is nice, especially playing in either the sand-pit or with water.
