Introducing......
So, this is our big news! The next baby Black, due at the end of Jan/beginning of Feb is female! So I'm now researching New Testament Saints names. How do we feel about Olympia? Or possibly Chloe? I'm open to suggestions!
This was something else that made me laugh this week!
I can't help wishing that I got recognition for the stuff I'm 'trying' to do, regardless of whether I actually succeed or not!
Things are certainly getting harder for me physically. I have noticed that
- changing the sheets on the top bunk
- bending over to put the laundry in the machine
- cycling up-hill when we're late for school
- chasing an unruly two year old
are all much, much harder one you're past 20 weeks pregnant!
(Well that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!)
We made popcorn and stuffed it into vinyl gloves;
Of course, quite a lot got eaten - but popcorn counts as one of our 'five a day', so it's not all bad!
We made some chocolate refrigerator cake, then cut it into strips (logs),
And made bonfires!
We made spiders out of egg boxes and pipe-cleaners,
And painted them!
Guy has decided that if even the horses are wearing their coats,
he will deign to wear his!
We went to Bicester Village - again!
Then down to London on the train,
And the tube,
To visit the dinosaurs!
Guy is equally frightened and fascinated by the dinosaurs! Particularly the animatronic ones!
Then back home in time for bed!
Phoebe was drawing the band as they were playing. Then she presented the band with her portraits at the end of their set. I think The Reverenzas have their first groupie!
How she thought she could get Guy to sleep is beyond me!
Anyway, after that we went swimming;
As part of the service, we had five loaves and two small fishes. Here are the left-overs! Not quite twelve baskets full!
