Snot nosed kids

Is what I’ve got. Davies has been developing his for at least two days but Scarlett has come through to an early lead with hers today. We had planned to spend the day with my parents but they rang early to say their cat who has been having some sort of seizures for a couple of weeks had taken a turn for the worse and they were going to the emergency vets with her. She is back home again now but I think her days are numbered, so all very sad over there. 🙁 So with poorly kids and worried grandparents we felt the mix would be a bad idea and stayed home instead.

I got some CVs done and made some choux buns, Ady did some child avoidance tactics until I had a mini-rant about spending more time with the children at the weekends and trying to build individual relationships with them both. He is an excellent father but still retains the sort of novelty value of a favourite uncle at times rather than a particular relationhip with each child. We had a bit of a chat about it and having taken on board some of what he said to me about being crap at letting him get on with it and not interfering they spent a lovely afternoon doing stuff like playing on websites together and generally talking. Result 🙂

I took Madagascar back to Blockbusters and popped in to see my parents to administer cuddles and choux buns for half an hour or so and then home again to get a roast dinner cooking. The children had a bath and an early night and we’re sitting watching Planet Earth.

It’s been a lovely Spring day here today, washing dried and the drive into town along the seafront was very cheer inspiring with the blue sky reflected in the sea and making the promise of Summer ever more imaginable.
