A Social Life

An early post today 'cause I'm off out tonight - Wohoo

It was Lisa's birthday on Wednesday (cough26cough) so we're off to her house for a girly night in with far too much wine and takeaway, will have to put the diet on hold for the evening . I'm staying over too so I can have a drink without having to worry about driving, and I can have an uninterrupted nights sleep too. I'm leaving Adam at home to look after the boys.
Adam was away last night, he had a reunion drink with people he worked with at Binder Hamlyn. They do it every year and he drives down to stay in a hotel in Croydon for the night. I think they drink in a pub in central London but I wouldn't swear to it. He took Friday off work, we had a lay in then he left here at about 11. Apparently the traffic was bad in places so he didn't get there 'til about 20 past 4. Still plenty of time to relax, have a bath and eat before it's time to go out though.

He's actually just this minute pulled onto the drive after setting off at about 10 this morning. Theo is standing on the sofa watching him through the window saying 'Hi Daddy, Hi Daddy I missed you' aww. It's a pity Adam can't hear him because he is unlikely to say it directly to him for some reason.

Another List day I think

List what you do to be at peace with yourself, despite the news of the day

I don't watch the news
Watch my children sleep

Short and sweet today

Jabs!!

Louis had his first set of immunisations today. Ouch.

I took Adam with me so he could be the one who had to hold him still while the nasty lady stuck a needle in him. As it turned out, it was two nasty ladies poised with needles at the ready then a count of 1, 2, 3 and jab! A needle in each leg. Louis objected loudly and Theo looked very worried until the crying stopped, which was only about 30 seconds later, if that.

Car Jacking

After I picked Theo up from nursery today I took him to Peel Park for a play.
He was very funny 'cause I didn't tell him where we were going so he spent the entire drive (about 20 mins 'cause I drove round and round looking for a car park (there isn't one)) asking where we were going.

When we got there we threw waterbird food to the ducks then went on for a walk to the play area. I have to admit the playthings weren't exactly suited to a 2 year old, there was a baby swing and a few wooden seat things on springs but the slide was very large and involved some complicated climbing to get to the top, no straightforward steps.
Anyway, while we were playing a young boy and his dad came in with Lightening McQueen (above). The boy left the car and went to play and Theo made a beeline for the car. I was in the process of stopping him but the man said he was fine to play so I let him climb in and I took a couple of photos. He figured out how to make it go and drove it into the climbing frame No damage though, phew
