We look like we've been burgled!!!

Of course we haven't been burgled at all - but, if a burglar did call - then he would definately think we'd already been done!

This is what happens if 2 of the kids who were expected to be at school end up having the rest of the week off due to their conjunctivitis.... grrrr!

At least Lily and Rowanne were calmer yesterday - and Gabi went to school for a change - she has been doing mock exams - and has had a lot of "study" time at home. Rowanne was very helpful with the dishwasher and setting the table, and Lily helped out with tidying and laundry.

Today I have allowed Lily and Rowanne to unwrap a present from under the tree in the hopes of keeping them occupied for a short while.... so far it's not working...

Alfie has tried a new food - Tuna - and he likes it! He feels heavier today - perhaps I am tired - or perhaps he gained some ounces while he was sleeping last night?!

Well, I can't write too much - got LOTS to do - (mainly cleaning and shopping for food)!

Here are a few pics from yesterday:

The "Nigella"-esque soup (roasted butternut squash with sweet potatoes and red onion) was not a big hit with the younger children - but they liked the bread rolls, and at least they tried the soup.

Oh, and I'll tag on a pic of Gabi's birthday cake for those who missed it (she was 16 on Saturday!).
