the reasons I love kids and my job...long again

Today the plan was strawberry picking...but due to this erratic weather!! decided against it..and headed for Asda and the market to get compost for the tomatoes and veg from the market....stopping to hunt at mona for a lost shoe on the way...chatting at mona, saw K and J at asda...chatting...(she had me teary telling me what a wonderful friend I was and how nice I am to everyone xx)...anyway got in the car to go to the market and s piped up...I need a wee...back into asda and time just went and we had to get back...no compost...no veg...sigh....

Other 2 arrived and we had lunch and played out then after school we re-potted the tomatoes...s's dad and bro turned up early and joined in and then they all had ice cream...even dad...lol....nice that people feel welcome here....then 5 went home with their tomato plants..we're left with 3 and the rest have been attacked with a fork by o when I wasn't looking...so I've put them back on the windowsill to see what they do!!

Was going to re pot the peas but ran out of compost so mission for tomorrow...don't know why I'm bothering..they'll all die...but hey the efforts there

Tonight I decluttered the kitchen ...there was paper everywhere after yesterday...I need to sort out all my booklets and educational leaflets...not sure how!! or when???

and now for the reasons I love kids and my job

Wayne and S had a great time in the garden making petrol for the tractor out of flowers and leaves and sand!! and then they were making a den...I love just sitting and listening to them.....tea in hand lol

One of the mindees lost his first tooth last night...had his sis today and was told about the tooth fairy...but then she said ' I don't think it was a fairy'...'who do you think it was then?' I asked....'A person' was the reply...so we got the tooth fairy book out and convinced her lol..

I was listening to them playing this morning...drinking tea again...and they had a doll and Wayne said...'that's Jesus'...S replied ' but where does he live?' and Wayne said...Jesus lives in a dvd'...I was rofl...well quietly round the corner...nearly choked on my tea x

We were having lunch today and O is ...well...snotty...Wayne pipes up....
'O is still beautiful Mummy, even though he's got a really snotty nose!'

Despite his snottiness after his amazing walking with a car last friday today he was standing alone...only for a few seconds ..but did it loads...due to lots of cheers and encouragement from the rest of us...his face is a picture...well like they are when they acheive...big smiles...gorgeous x

And I've found a new way to use pilates in my daily life...I was pushing O in the pram today to get him to sleep (never thought I'd do that but having 4 here no choice!!) and I was doing the usual pushing back and forward turned to the side..bad posture...and thought about body alignment and stood pushing with my body totally aligned and feeling my inner core...lol...not really but...oh god I don't know what I'm on about ...just demonstrated to Ron and he lol....I think I really must be having a mid life crisis....or perhaps it's the lack of adult company...come back Shel ...I need you x
