Kerfuffle! As in "What a Kerfuffle!"

We have had such a fantastic weekend which was over way to quickly. Uncle and his lovely girlfriend came to visit. The children loved it and they played Pairs many many times. Mostly the little ones won which could be heard all the way to England.... cos the excitement was hard to keep in:)
We had great fun all weekend and I learned a new word.
KERFUFFLE!
What a fantastic word. Can't believe I have never come across it before.

We took uncle and his girlfriend downtown to our favourite shop TIGER. They loved it and they have discovered, after getting back home, that Luton has one. Amazing:)

I don't care what they people might say.... Or do I ??????

I so love this song. Can't get it out of my head:) It's just a lovely song!

I love the lyrics in the song and think: Do I care what the people might say or whisper about me...???  No not always but sometimes. But are people whispering and talking about me... ?? See that's the question... Don't we all think that sometimes but completely without reason?

And does it really matter...???

Merry Christmas everyone......

Mums confessions......

As my children were so good confessing their shenanigans not long ago, I guess I should too..... So here goes:

I "freestyle" when reading to them, make the story up as I'm going along, missing huge swathes out and showing them things in the pictures so they won't notice I'm avoiding reading half of the words.

I found these confessions on Mumsnet from other mums out there.....


 -I tell mine that the chocolate/biscuits I'm munching has nuts in so they can't have any...

-I don't always call them in to lick the beaters when I am making a cake.

-If either of my children have bumped/scraped/cut off various body parts I ask them
"Can you move it? Can you bend it?... Well it hasn't dropped off so you are ok!"


So guess this confession thing is a two way street..... Or three! Maybe we should hear from the dads too!!!!!

My 3 year old son had a BIG tantrum last week. Screaming because he did not think it was necessary to wash both hands when finished on the toilet. His argument was he only used the one hand to wipe with.... I did win the battle though but what is it with boys and lack of hand washing.......????

Some of the things I love.......

An Autumn day where the sun is shinning from a clear blue sky but it's so cold you have to wear a hat and gloves!

When my children come inside with bright red cheeks after playing in the garden!



A big cafe latte!

When my 3 year old son sings Incy Wincy Bider to me! ( he can't say sp )

When my 5 year old daughter gets a laughing fit rolling around on the floor!


When my soulmate plays Take That to me on his guitar!
