The Herd

We used to call Amelia and Lucy 'ThePack' as they are always together in the house, but now its The Herd as George follows them too! They are so great with him and let him join in, even if he just wants to chew all his stuff, he gets to be a little character in their games and they really look after him - he is a lucky little boy!

Long overdue update

Its been so long since I have written on here. Everything is great at the moment. Amelia is doing amazingly well at school, her reading is wonderful, her writing and pictures brilliant too. Lucy is her usual cheeky self, going through a funny phase at the moment - very clingy to me and funny about things - but happy and lovely. George is crawling, pulling himself up to stand and is very pleased with himself. He is the happiest little boy in the world, loves his sisters - and they spoil him rotten.
Here is a little video i took of Lucy & George - they had no idea i was videoing..

they love eachother!

Christmas

We have had a great Christmas so far, the children have been spoilt rotten!!
One thing I just have to get down happened at Mum and Dads.
Amelia was going to the toilet and Lucy wanted to go - she was ttold to wait her turn or to go upstairs. She wanted to use the potty that was still in the toilet cupboard, but was told no. She decided to wait in the toilet with Amelia - there is just no shame between them!!
It went quiet for a while but then there was a lot of noise and some crying. I went in to find them both brying, Amelia holding the potty and covered in wee. It turns out she had told Lucy to go on the potty (as far as Luc ywas concerned - if amelia told her too - then it was ok!) and had tried to pour the giant wee lucy did down the toilet, but had dropped it all over herself and on her knickers and trousers on the floor. It was just so so funny - still laughing now! Their guilty faces and Amelia crying about the wee on their clothes. So so funny. The little monkeys :)

Meat

We have been talking to the girls about meat recently, they are asking where it comes from and how it gets out of the animal. I explained to Lucy one day that we have to kill the animal and takes its skin off anf cut it up to eat it. You may think it would upset her, but she was completely unfazed and asked which animals it was. I explained that its normally chicken, cow pig etc, but that some countries even eat horses. She went very quiet and then announced 'mummy, one day can we go to that country? i would like to try some horse!!!'
Then when we read Bambi a few days later and i had to explain a hunter killed Bambis mummy (to feed his family of course!) and that deer meat is called Venison, she straight away asked, 'muumy can we get some beniston? i would like to try some'

No vegetarians in this house!!

...its been ages. So so busy getting ready for Christmas. Everything is going so well. Amelia & Lucy are getting  ready for their christmas plays and George is the happiest baby alive. He just grins, smiles and farts all the time!
Amelia was recently in the gold book at school for being a great role model in class! So so proud that I could have been sick with pride. She is doing so well at school, her parents evening was just embarrasing!!!
Lucys parents evening also had great feedback - just that she is a happy little girl who really enjoys herself.

Dinner Talk

At dinner tonight Lucy announced that she wanted to live alone when she grows up, so that she could have as much tomato sauce as she wants!!! Poor deprived child!
