Auntie Knows Best

School disco tonight and this is the first one The Little Miss has attended.

She was very excited about having her photo taken, unlike The Little Mister who is in the background complaining about not wanting to be in the picture.

This photo made me smile. He looks so like his Daddy, concentrating at the computer. He is completely obsessed with technology.

Every week my Dad comes for tea and the children love seeing him. We were especially happy to see him today as he looked after them whilst The Mister and I went out.

The Little Mister and his best buddy play football together on a Saturday. This is how they were standing when they were choosing teams – I think they wanted to be on the same side!

This was actually taken on Saturday but today has been a manic day of running about at work, sorting out the kids and the choir.

The Little Mister started at Beavers tonight and he absolutely loved it. I was worried that he might be a bit nervous but he was happy enough once he saw a couple of people he knew.

He is a busy boy and can be horribly annoying and disruptive when he is under-stimulated. He is also getting really good at football and loves his new kit which Grandpa bought for his birthday.

Merry Christmas. We had a delightfully relaxing morning and lunchtime, eating food and opening presents and then we wandered down to my sister’s house for dinner.

A lovely Christmas Day with the people I love most.

Today my beautiful boy hit the grand age of 6.

He is the most wonderful boy, amusing, obsessed with Pokemon and hilarious. I am so proud of him in the way he has come on at school with his drawing, writing and reading and the fact he is popular and has lots of friends.

Always happy to give cuddles, it can be frustrating when I wake up to find he has snuck into bed with us, but an early morning snuggle is something to be treasured.

We love you Bear, keep being you and keep being wonderful.

I arrived home from work today to find this lovely view through the window.

My three great loves together.

Today we took The Little Mister and 6 of his friends to see the Pokemon movie at the cinema. They had a wonderful time although the film was absolutely dreadful and I thought I was about to lose the will to live half way through.

Anyway, The Little Mister thoroughly enjoyed himself so that’s all that matters.

Children in Need day at school and the children went in today wearing their pyjamas. Even the teachers were there in their pyjamas.

They had a brilliant day and decided to stay in pyjamas for after school club too. By that point in the afternoon I didn’t care one way or the other!
