Birthdays, Burnt bum and the boys......

So....havent had the time to post lately. Where does the time go ?

Birthdays

I was the grand age of 28 last Wednesday, the 24th. I was working for most of the day but still managed to enjoy it. I had a cake too !!! I received some lovely cards and pressies and birthday wishes which included a phone call at my work from Justin from JAPAN !!! I cried I have to to say after the call - daft cow ! I also spoke with John, my other fab bro who wished me well :) Its always good to chat to him - adds some intellect to my days ! Mum and Dad got me my cake and paid for me to have my hair 'done' which was lovely and I got flowers, cd's, money and some very funky cowboy boots ! A great day was had. The realization that now Im only 2 years from the big 3 0 is a slightly scary thought as I wont get away with half as much as I do now and have always done so. 30 will mean in my head,me being a true adult, time to grow up and stop larking about like those who know me will agree ! Then yesterday my package from Japan arrived - BTW Juzi - I loved it all ! Hello Kitty bits and pieces !!!! I was so excited, Grant just looked at me ! Fab Justin - just Fab ! Thank you :)
Anyhoo.... a birthday wish to Justin now who will be 29 in about...ummm..2hrs . He will be 29. Im sad he's not here to celebrate with but I know that Japan will treat him well on his special day. Happy Birthday Bro' !

Burnt Bum

This is a funny little tale involving Grant, trousers and a death slide !
Sunday, we decided to take they boys to the Farm. Daniel loves it there and we go often. The sun was shining andit was a hot day so we wore shorts etc to take advantage of the weather whilst we could. After looking at the animals and riding around the farm on the 'train', Dan wanted to go the play area. Its a mix of soft shaped toys, cargo nets, slides etc. Now, there is 1 slide there which is not for the faint hearted child. So of course Dan loves it ! Its a sheer drop, then a bump then a drop again and I have to say that there are some brave kids about as you wouldnt get me on it thats for sure ! So, off goes Grant and Dan to play whilst I sat and fed William.
The 2nd time on the 'death slide' as its called, Grant comes skulking across to me and said ' Man the friction on that slide with these trousers dont half burn your bum' ! ( He was wearing 3/4 length cargo pants with the nylon type material). Thinking he was joking I just laughed, but then when he stood up he was proudly sporting a hole in the arse of his trousers across the middle ! The worst part of this was that Grant had decided to go 'commando' as, in his words, ' the trooosers are too bulky otherwise'...so not only had he burnt his trousers he was now showing off 2 bare bum cheeks, bright red and burnt ! OMG - HOW EMBARRASSING !!!!
With nothing to hide the hole, or his butt, he had to wear my shoulder bag across his bum and shimmy the 1/2 mile to the car. I was crying with laughter as was he. I hope you have all learnt that your mother was alwaysright in one way or another when she always told you to make sure you were wearing clean underpants ! :)

The boys

They are fab fab fab !!!!! Growing up too fast though its frightening ! Dan is still totally addicted to Thomas the Train and eats,sleeps and breathes it ! He waffles on about such nonsense its too cute though. William is fine and weighs 17lbs now! What a heffer ! Like mother like son I guess ! :) Eating well and on the go.


Hope you are all well and enjoying the blog !

Rat Fans ,Update and LOST...

I have just seen,would you believe, the video for Roland Rat RAT-RAP I think it was called ! Does anyone remember this genius of 80's music ? They showed it on a kids show called Tiny Pop and Dan has been dancing around saying' Rat Fans !'.....lol
On a more sane note, Dan went to nursery this morning with minimal tears and whinging - I think we have had a breakthrough after the last few weeks of his bestest screaming at me not to leave him. He actually enjoyed nursery today by all accounts and ate his whole lunch (another shock) and got a sticker for playing nicely with his friends today. Bless him. He is such a proper boy now its weird. He has even started seeing things on tv, the ads for toys etc ready for crimbo I would imagine, and has started saying ' I want that please mummy'. Today he told Grandad that he wanted Batman and the Batmobile! How cool :)
He can also count to 10 suddenly which is impressive as 3 weeks ago it went - 1,3,9,6,2,9 !!! On the whole Dan is fab as always :)
Will is so funny. He has developed a really cute personality. The crying isnt half as bad as it used to be . God help me if it were ! He sits and rolls and whizzes everywhere in his walker. He has also become Houdini in the making by managing to escape from his bouncing chair whilst being strapped in ! We sa and watched him as he carwled 'up and over' the straps ! Not long until he will be crawling about I dont think. He has also developed an obsession with his tongue and spends most of the day with it stuck out looking all cheeky :)
Grant and I are ok I guess. Working hard at crappy jobs - well mine is anyway. Tired and feedup and still looking for that silver lining I know is there somewhere !
So...LOST ! Has anyone seen this ? Its bloody brilliant ! Im a bit confused but then again thats not hard to do but I think we are going to like it. Ive been assured by my friend who lives n the US that its worth keeping with as it is amazing.

Well, thats my lot for tonight-
Smiles and hugs to all
