We're almost in February, where did January go? Mrs W is back on the rigs earning her crust, which means it's my turn with the gruesome foursome. I have to admit, carrying round that camera along with the toddler and the hound is a bit of a grind, so I've included a few pictures taken in the last month (the first 3). The others were all taken when her ladyship had arrived offshore.
After spending much of the day berating other parents for being lazy sods and defaulting to amusing their kids with tablets (obviously we are faultless in every possible way;-)), I've resorted so some more amusing moments of late.
C's best attempt at simultaneously blinding me and ripping my nostrils off from the inside out. At least he had fun doing it...
There doesn't seem to be many pics of O at the moment, hence the inclusion of the one below. Is it because he is the forgotten middle child? Who knows, I'll leave MPLST to over analyse that in the way only she can.
Contrary to what everybody else thinks - I am not the boss here at SH.
Yesterday, R couldn't go to school (maybe that's why I got pictures of him and not O - are you still over analysing??) as he was on a 24 hour recovery. He actually wanted to, and was ready for school, but they wouldn't accept him back post a little vomiting episode. R doesn't do drama. Here's how it went....."Dad, I've been sick. I made it to the toilet though. Oh....I need to go again"....and off he ran. "Dad, I need to get to sleep now so I will have enough energy for school tomorrow." I awoke to find him at the breakfast table, assembling Lego with a good morning greeting of "I feel better, can I go to school today?"
The upside of not going to school meant he go to come for a walk in the woods with us. It's struck me over the last few days that my kids will walk almost anywhere, and we've only had the dog for a month or so. C doesn't care, so long as you go at his pace, and the big two already have plenty practice.
The novelty of the dog hasn't really worn off yet either. This was the scene after breakfast this morning.
