Snowmen!

ARH20091223-38355 (Large)What a great winter – the snow continues!

Whitchurch Winter Wonderland after Travel Troubles

The Square, Whitchurch, Hampshire

The snow has stayed to the delight of our kids!  There were many opportunities to take some very pretty pictures around town (see our gallery).  That is, once I got into town after work… » Continue reading Whitchurch Winter Wonderland after Travel Troubles »

Sleeping like teenagers

We try ever so hard to get our boys to bed at a half-decent time so that they get a good night’s sleep and wake up refreshed and in time to get ready for school.

Mostly we’re successful.  But what with the excitment of listening to just one more chapter of Harry Potter, or bouncing on the bed with Baba, its not by any means a sure thing that they’ll wake up next morning without some annoyance by us.

Daddy waits until 8am and they turns into the most annoying alarm clock.  Beep-beep-clap-beep-buzz-buzz-buzz (tip: use a random pattern of noise).  This evolves into a massive tickle session.

Mummy is equally annoying.  She rips the blankets from their warm bodies and shakes them.

The response?  This from Tolii: “Mummy, mummy, I’ll get up as soon as you go away!”

Olympics, here I come!

Today Mr Tolii got his first (we hope it is just the first!) medal: a Silver on the Hampshire Recreational Gymnastics Competition, Year 1.  Tosha, being Year R, was not allowed to join the competition (yet).

So the super task for a 6 year old was to perform a jump and then a routine of 9 exercises in front of the judges* and spectators. In case a future Olympic champion forgets what to do next, a coach was sitting behind the judging table to whisper (or if whisper didn’t work to show) what the next move is. *really cute judges who loved Tolii’s curly hair! » Continue reading Olympics, here I come! »
