What a Weekend!!!

TWICKENHAM STADIUM
Bon Jovi - The Lost Highway Leads to London Tour

Mark and I went to this on Saturday with two of our friends It was amazing The stadium is Massive and can hold up to 82 thousand There was not that many there but it was not far off being full I'm sure. They were everything I expected, Loved singing along to the old stuff and listening to the new ones. At one point Mark and I stood by the bar watching the aircraft fly in to Heathrow and looking around at the scenery it was cool.

They were supported by The Feeling. They were also amazing, it is one of these bands I have heard of but could not tell you what they have sung, but once they started i was sinning along to all of them, I knew all of there songs without realising it, really must get there album I really enjoyed them

CAMBRIDGE CORN EXCHANGE

Lazy Town

For Harry's 3rd Birthday we took him to see the stage show of Lazy Town, Now this was a good show, It was all actors and no puppets and they were sooo funny, They were so over the top Mark and I were laughing more than the kids. I did surprise me though that the kids sat still and watched it, Harry's eyes never left the stage he was even shacking a little with excitement but this meant when Sporticus asked all the kids to get up and help practise exercising and his moves with him they did not move. They were in ore of it i think. but it has nearly been a week now and Harry has not stopped talking about it and Charlotte and Harry both want to go again next time it is on.

ON A SAD NOTE THOUGH

On Sunday morning it was my friends leaving party, After 3 years of being in England Her family has been posted to Armenia, Her actual leaving Party was a nice affair but We were only there a while because we had lazy town to go to but Monday was a different story. We attend a toddler group at our local church although we got through it there was tears at the end when it really hit home that I would not see her for a very long time once she had left the church.

All I can say is thanks to the makers of the things like face book and the Internet in general that help people stay in touch. :o(

And Their off

Charlotte's first Sports day and She won the sack race. I think it was because she had to concentrate, The fancy dress race she was too worried about whether the things looked OK, The straight race she was too busy looking at everyone else and the bat and been bag race she and two others were talking and plodding along like it was a Sunday stroll.

PASTA!!!
Lucky mummy made it cheese and broccoli and not a tomato based sauce or I would be in a right old mess!!!

After the slow attempts of Harry Sarah thought it was time she took things into her own hands, quite liturally

Can I feed Sarah

Harry asked if he could feed Sarah

Reluctantly I said yes

He was doing alright until he posed then.....

She got bored and decided to do it herself, with her hands.....

And Their Off

What a start to a lovely day. Charlotte and Mark took part in their first Fun Run. It took them 20 min to run 1 1/4 miles. Mark said he was very proud of her because she did run most of it and ran quite fast which surprised him.

He is not the one who has to constantly tell her to walk every where, She is always way in front of us. if she carries on like this she will be at school before the rest of us leave the house.

After the run we took a walk to our Friends who were having a yard sale. After 3 years they are off to Armenia, Just slightly different from here. They will be missed very much. I have watched her 2 boys grow from toddlers and her little girl who was born here will be 2 soon, how time flies.It was such a lovely Day, The sun was shinning the Brass band was playing on the church green and the children were playing so nicely, Sarah and Avery slept for most of it, which was quite nice gave us parents a chance to chat.

Q. It's 16:00 and your son has fallen asleep What do you do?

A. You don't put him to bed, a lesson I learnt last night.

While pottering around in the kitchen I noticed it was very quiet. Charlotte was doing Arty stuff at the table Sarah was rolling around the floor ant there was Harry, fast asleep. now as I said what to do? I took his jumper off (which is quite a struggle he has a big head) I took his shoes off but no response moved him in to a comfortable position but no movement. He was out for the count. So I took him up to bed. What a kind mother i am. Ha Ha so I thought. My first mistake

It is now 23: 55 just been watching One night stand (Wrestling, whole new story but what a Swanton bomb) feeling very tired myself I started up the stairs and who was standing at the top about to come down You guessed it a very wide awake Harry

So brought him down gave him something to eat. and let him watch a DVD. (You don't need peppa pig this time in the morning)

It is now 2:00 Time for bed now, he just laughs. not impressed. Mistake No. 2 "come on Harry I'll go to bed with you" what with wanting to play, poke my eyes out and just plain fidgeting I gave up on that but when I left he screamed. in fear of the hole house waking I asked what he wanted.

"I want to go down stairs and watch telly" so off we went. I put on another DVD sat him on the Sofa and wait for it mistake no. 3 I went to bed

04:20 Charlotte woke me wanting a drink (that girl drinks like a fish) so went to get her one and realized what I had done.

TV off , Wii plugged in, Harry asleep holding Dads ipod and pen all up his arm. oops

So not sure how much sleep he had but I know I did not have much!! and what other surprises I will find ,Who knows!!!

Still can not get a nice pic of all the children together....
But here are my two lovely little girls
and my guitar playing pirate....
