Get off my land*

Ooh it was a late one last night. The boys didn't surface until past 8am today and have been a bit grumpy. At one point Huffle shouted at them "well it's not our fault you had a late night". ERR YES IT IS. We had a very lazy pj morning, watching Leicester City get beat, playing on tablets, eating breakfast and choosing books for Grandma to get the boys for their excellent reports (though she specifically liked what their teachers said about them).

By 1pm we were hungry and went out for a bite to eat and a bit of a shop. I wanted to get something from Michaels the craft shop but the queue was so long I gave up despite finding exactly what I wanted. The rest of my family left me and went off to find a sports shop which had moved so bought instead a toilet seat!! We popped to the little IKEA shop to get some cupboard hole fillers (we only need 1200 to finish the inside of the cupboards) but they had run out. We drove to a sports shop and bought some trainers for Huffle's birthday. Trendy trainers too! He hasn't had a new pair for about ten years.

It's been a long time since he could stick his head out of the window, dog style

It was a beautiful sunny day with temperatures of 12+ perfect for shadow photography. We went home and had an ice cream bar on the porch and Smallest made Huffle and I a cup of tea. Not bad for his first one.

First bulb poking through - go back, it's not Spring yet!

It's been a funny day. Knowing we should be at the football and not being there, not really knowing what is going on. Apparently the team won 12-2 and another boy left today. Time to move on.

The boys played on the XBox and I sewed in my ends on my new socks, vacuumed under the cushions on the sofa (eeeuuuggghhhhhhhh) and then we all watched the last five minutes of Harry Potter, Ninja UK and The Voice.

 

 

*while we were sitting on the front porch, a car came by, stopped in front of our house, had a good look and then reversed in our drive. We find this rude but it obviously isn't here because it happens all the time.
