Superheroes

Pre-empting Thomas' progression towards potty training, we spend time bonding with pants. Thomas is sporting his "cheeeeeeeese" camera face.

The best bit when making a chocolate cake.

Let It Snow

While I was at work on Sunday, Andrew and the children got creative in the garden. Our new addition was called Felix, but Madeleine's renamed him Waggles. Perhaps a little sinister with red beady eyes, but a good effort.

                                                

How do you do?

Christmas Play no. 2

Unfortunately I was unable to make this performance as I couldn't get out of work. Andrew, however, was in the front row and took plenty of photos. So here is Madeleine in the role of Mary. She remembered her line "I'm Mary" and took great care of baby Jesus.

Christmas Play no. 1

In her first of 2 Christmas performances at preschool, Madeleine was the A for Angel in the "A-Z of Christmas". She did very well, although I think Thomas stole the show by shouting "hello Maddy!" at the top of his voice during her piece. Next up, on Friday, she's playing the part of Mary, so we'll update then. 

All Wrapped Up

Our For The Count

As most of you are aware, Thomas ended up in hospital for a couple of nights after having a febrile convulsion last week. It seems that it was a particularly nasty throat infection. Thankfully he has made a speedy recovery and hopefully we won't have to deal with anything quite so worrying for a longtime. On the plus side, he did get to ride in a "nee-naw". Here is a picture of Thomas the day he came out of hospital. We were trying to keep him awake until after tea (hence the fork and spoon in the picture) but this was futile.
