so I don’t get behind again.
Davies and Scarlett had the opticians for routine eye tests this morning so we headed into town and fortunately found a parking space straight away as we were cutting it very fine for time. Scarlett went first and was a star 🙂 No problems with her eyes.
Davies has a really bad twitch at the moment which involves eye rolling so that made it hard for him to keep still and look ahead but he did really well. We’re going down the route of talking about his twitches and he sat tonight at dinner listing all the ones he remembers (licking his hands, shaking his head, beating his chest… ) I think he has a very healthy attitude towards them which is possibly helped by Ady having various tics too and us being fairly open and relaxed about them and talking it all through. Aside from slightly dry eyes the optician was happy with Davies’ eyes too and gave them both a call back for 2 years time.
We had an hour or so in town afterwards and got some more material for Tarly who has now decided she will have a costume for Eve and Rei’s party, a new DS charger in Game and had a wander round the charity shops.
Home for lunch and then back out again to the allotment for an hour. I need to catch up on that blog too really…
Back home again I sewed Davies’ caveman outfit and they both tried it on and Scarlett wants the same. I have enough excess material to attach some to their shoes for cavemen feet so that’s good. Tarly and I strung her polished stone with a hole in it onto some leather thong we’d bought so she now has a cool necklace too.
Ady came home and had many gifts bestowed upon him – from us he got socks, pants, chocolate and cards. Davies had also made him a football stadium which I must take photos of to do it justice and his main gift was an MP3 / MP4 player that he chose himself and is delighted with.
Off to Badgers for Davies and Scarlett where I believe they talked about hygeine while Ady and I had a long walk around the town including a walk round Debenhams which is open until 11pm 😯 😯
We collected the children, came home for speedy clothing changes and my parents arrived. We went to the local Harvester for a fairly average but acceptable meal and we took along a 4 and a 5 candle which Scarlett got the waitress to sneakily put in Ady’s dessert and bring out lit so we could all loudly sing Happy Birthday to him and embarrass him in the restaurant! 😆
Back home for coffees, the kids went to bed, my parents left about 11pm and I watched The Apprentice on iplayer while Ady played with his new toy.
There – 10 minute blogging indeed 😉
