Today is Advent Sunday. I had to explain to Robyn this week that Advent Sunday isn’t necessarily the day we open the 1st door on our Advent calendars. I expected her to be disappointed but instead she was excited about lighting the 1st Advent candle at church and began talking about counting down the Sundays [...]

It’s a play day

After our sad few days I’ve had a pretty constant headache so I decided yesterday that today would be a quiet play day to allow myself to relax with Katie.
This morning Robyn got up complaining of a sore throat and said she’d like to stay at home. I figured that she needed a quiet play day [...]

We got our new car. Its a silver X Reg zafira. We love it! Its so good to have some freedom back again! Yesterday we drove to Morecambe to see mum and dad for the day. I [...]
Sundays…

I love Sundays. I think it is my favourite day of the week.
A typical Sunday for me goes like this:
Snooze in bed while the girls eat breakfast and play, get up and get ready slowly
Go to church with Robyn. Mum and dad are there too and its nice to get out to speak to people. (Katie [...]
A Difficult Day

It’s not very often that I let the “spiritual” side of me show… as I mentioned in the 25 things about me. Today though it has been tough and I stumbled across this prayer while I was looking for some comforting words. I’ll be reading it a lot over the coming week I think.
Every day I [...]
25 Things About Me…
Posted in About me, Anthony, Church, Family, Katie, Robyn on 4 February 2009 | 1 Comment »
So today I got tagged in a Facebook note which asked me to write 25 random things about myself. I found myself this afternoon with an empty house… Robyn was at school, Katie was having fun at Nanny’s house and Anthony was working on the car. For me being in the house on my own [...]

Yippee!!! I have sorted out the problems with the Church Ebay account and I’m happy to say that it is now up & running. At the moment I just have a “test” auction on there to make sure the charity settings etc were all in order. Its looking promising… the 1st item I have listed [...]
The Things Children Say

Don’t you just love the things that kids come out with?!
Over the years our family has gained lots of expressions thanks to various children who have given us little “Gems”! A few examples…
“Oooooh it’s a bit windmill” (Windy!)… from Sophie
“The moon can’t talk actually” (after being told “The moon is saying ‘time for bed!’)… from [...]
Famous Last Words…

“Yeah… I’ll head up the church Ebay account!”
The last week or so has seen me stressing infront of my laptop trying to set up a charity ebay account. What a nightmare!
Why do these things look as though they will be simple to do when in reality it means you need to stock up on paracetamol [...]
A Box of Raisins…
Posted in Church, Katie, Robyn on 1 June 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Who would have thought that a box of raisins would be so good at keeping a toddler quiet?! Katie likes raisins but we normally give her them in a bowl out of a big bag.
This morning we went to church… me, Robyn and Katie. Robyn is happy in church, always has been and now she [...]
