February Daffodils

Now its next week...

And we made it to the bakery :)
Unfortunately I ate too much lunch and now don't have room for my croissant.
The kids on the other hand have managed to eat their treats!

Computer crashed

Our 5 year laptop started an endless cycle of bluescreen of death followed by reboot and crash on the MUP.SYS driver loading.

So, after trying to save the files on the hard drive for about a week, I threw in the towel, reformatted the drive, and reinstalled windows.

The computer is running so much faster now - I should have done this years ago (knock on wood.)

Now the question --- which resource hogging applications do I install again... or do I leave the system clean??

Big run but no pasteries

Parenting rules say when you state a consequence you have to stick to it.

Unfortunately that meant I didn't get an almond croissante today.

Oh well.... next week!

I'm not a toddler anymore:

> Kev: Oh really?

I'm a boy now.

> Oh, why do you say that?

I wear underwear.

> Yes, you do!

And, I like cucumbers!

Two Moms are Better than One

Mom: I have two sons.
Bryn: I have two moms.
Mom: You do? Really? Who?
Bryn: Yes, Lucinda.
Mom: Ok, I'm Lucinda. Who's the other one?
Bryn: Lucinda.
Mom: Where is this other Lucinda?
Bryn: You are going to born her.
Mom: What? I'm going to give birth to myself? Like Shiva?
Bryn: Yes, and then Ellis can have her and I can have you.

Emergency!

Bryn says: Mom, Ellis has done a poo! Call 999!


Note: That's the UK equivalent of 911. Guess the explanation for why the police came stayed in his head. But perhaps we have to work on the context a bit. :)

Visit from the police

Lovely gents and helpful... On the trail of a mystery call but despite the possibility of any of our 40 little fingers dialing 999 by mistake, the facts didn't line up. They are moving on and didn't even stop for tea. Too bad as the boys were very interested!
