So I got some tea!

I took a lot of getting going this morning – caffeine definitely has more of an effect than I’d given it credit for. Davies was already stuck into Were Rabbit on the Xbox, getting loads further than he’s ever got before so he was less than keen to do much else other than explore previously unchartered territory on that and Tarly was content to play with her Barbies. I offered them the choice of Home Ed group or Sainsburys for their choice of food for lunch and they went with Sainsburys. It occured to me the other day that it’s quite some time since they got their current shoes and Tarly has a mark on her heel from where her boots rubbed which I assumed was due to wearing them without socks but felt bad incase it was just that they were too small. So we went up to Sainsburys, via the cashpoint and got various supplies, including TEA 🙂 Whilst I was perusing the tea aisle the children saw the PG tips with free monkey packs and persuaded me to get a couple of packs so they could have one each (frankly I didn’t take much persuading and the idea of them being as happy to bring home tea as I was, albeit for different reasons was quite attractive – spread the joy and all that 🙂 ) and given the choice of anything in the store for lunch they chose a Dairylea lunchable each so their happiness was cheaply purchased :). Then to the shoe shop where I was pleased to learn and they were disappointed to learn neither of them needs new shoes just yet. This is good news, not least due to meaning we don’t need to buy shoes this month but also means we will probably be into sandals and doodles type weather before they need to be reshod.

Home again for lunch for them and tea, tea, tea, tea, tea for me. I delighted them by taking the series of self timer shots below, which Davies felt bound to recreate for Ady when he got home (if nothing else it means next time I run out of tea it may well be worth checking behind the radiator as I’m sure at least one bag got chucked behind there 😆 ) – poor mites are bound to need therapy in future life, bet Mummy chucking t bags about while taking self timer shots will be among the incidents they recall 😆

Tarly did some jigsaws, Davies Xboxed and then as we had to pop in to see my Dad we had a quick look round some charity shops near my parents specifically looking for puzzles for Tarly and Snoopy videos for Davies. We had no luck on either count, called into see Dad and then came home for their tea. Both children are on a real bacon kick at the moment so they had bacon and various other odd accompaniments for bacon at their request while I drank more tea :).

And that was us 🙂 Brought to you with a nice cup of tea!
