ITS A GIRL!!!!!!!!

Yes I know that most of you know by now but I thought I would make it sort of official.
We are all very excited. Luke was totally NOT suprised. His very words were "I told you so". It really was a wonderful birthday present to get. Now the hard part, finding a name that we love. Not going to be easy, we like traditional type names, hence the boys names. Martyn has been coming up with some stinkers that I wont even entertain, I am sure he is thinking about exotic dancers when he comes up with them. Oh well in the end we'll agree on something I am sure of that. However we will keep those secret until the actual naming, so dont bother asking LOL.

The Pro

Luke after the party was practicing his golf Ha Ha.   These are my Dad's clubs that we are "storing" got left behind in the move.   Maybe Luke is the next Tiger Woods.  Who knows.

On Saturday we went to a Knights Kingdom party, Luke and I, Martyn took Adam for an icecream at the beach. He had a helmet and a sword it was cold and didnt really want him prancing around in next to nothing just to look the part.
Party went well until the chair I was sitting in collapsed and before you say anything it wasnt because of me, apparently the chair had recently been repaired and guess what it didnt work. So luckily didnt hurt myself just my pride really in front of everyone, but next day found a massive bruise on the tendon at the back of my knee, its still sore. Anyway Luke enjoyed the party and I have decided that swords (lots of them) and 5year olds(lots of them) shouldn't go together, there were a number of minor incidents involving swords in numerous body parts, Luckily Luke wasnt one of them for a change.

Adam'ism's

Adams News
Well just thought I would share a few things Adam says which I think are quite cute.
Relating to Cartoons: Tom & Jerry is "Tom & Jerry & the Dog"
Scooby Doo is "Scooby Doo and the Man in the Suit" (we tell him the monsters are men in suits, which they generally are) He loves Scooby Doo.
He doesnt say " I am" he says " I'm mam" I think its cute and makes me laugh every time.
Anyway he has had a bit of a cough recently and I noticed his cheeks were really rosy and it suddenly dawned on me to look in his mouth and sure enough there are the second set of bottom molars trying to break through. No wonder he hasnt wanted to eat much lately. Bless him.

The afterparty?

Well after the dress up party we went home it started getting a bit chilly so we all ended up inside. Supper was served and we ate. Adam as usual was last to finish then all of a sudden jumped from the table and wandered off, we settled into the lounge to relax. Luke was playing with lego on the floor and we PRESUMED Adam was playing in the bedroom. Finally I told Martyn that I thought Adam was a bit quite, he said he is fine he's playing yeah right. So off I go. Anyway I found him in my bedroom eventually with the wardrobe door open (mirror on the inside) busy decorating himself with the facepaint crayons I had used for their Indian look. I had to really try and keep a straight face as bless him he was concentrating so hard and making sure he put each crayon he had finished with back in the pack.
Here is the final result.

Interesting Look I thought.

Dress up parties

Well this past weekend Luke and Adam were invited to a friends Peter Pan dress up Party. Well I was at a loss and not having much time decided that to send them as Indians would probably be the best thing to do. So here are the boys, ready for the party, they were quite excited although when we got there, Adam was slightly overwhelmed but all in all they enjoyed themselves and had loads of fun. This weekend Luke has been invited to a Knights party, yep so keep your eyes peeled for that update.

Kathys Placemats

Kathy your placemats are a hit, here is Luke patiently waiting for his supper while being thoroughly entertained.

They really are great and the boys love them. For anyone who doesnt quite understand. Kathy is a very talented friend of mine living in the US. She has made these placemats with a chalkboard in the middle. They are brilliant. Although she says they are quite finicky to make.
She is also an excellent quilter.
