V for Victory

Its been a history making day with the election in the US of its first black pressident. Ive been glued to the tele most of the afternoon watching the numbers tick over and watching the Obama victory get closer and closer. Allne went to have a lie down after a headache got the better of him, I sent Niamh to bed and sat Gabriel in front of a movie so I could watch in peace. I watched as McCain conceaded defeat and then waited with all the others for The new pressidents first speach.

Allen woke just in time to watch it too, we were both impressed with what he said and cant wait to see what he does now. Its the dawn of a new age, the change has finally come and I believe that he will do a good job.

AWWWWW how cute is this

Poor Xaviour..... He tired little Niamh out so much that she feel sound asleep on his tummy. SHe stayed that way for over half an hour Xaviour was trapped on the floor and knowing how much he loves having his photo taken I took full advantage and snapped these :o)

We love you daddy!

Mornings are always hectic at home with 2 kids heading to school a 2 year old who wants everything right now! Then I have Niamh who in the moring actually growls at you like a little bear to be feed. The first thing though is the bed hug. Niamh usually comes to bed first with Gabriel following they bounce around and climb over us before finally the hunger worm growls and then we head to the kitchen. This is what poor daddy looks like when hes being cuddled by Gabriel doesnt he look pleased hehehe

Gabriels haircut

Gabriel had been due for a haircut for a while and finally daay got tired of me making faces and got the clippers out to give him a trim. It took a while and Gabriel doesnt like to sit still for very long. So after about 20 mins of trimming and getting lots of hair out of his face and mouth, he finally got done and he had to be given a bath to get rid of the remains of the hair. The bath is in the kids bathroom so instead of making him walk through the house in the nuddie we just threw him in our shower next to daddy. He enjoyed it so much that now when we are trying to have a shower hes busy taking his clothes off!!!

watch out Im on the move

We've been watching Niamh daily and seeing her progress with her walking. She can walk using her walker and also when she hanging onto the furniture. Shes really funny to watch and her feet and the way she moves in space. With her still wearing her boots and bars at night now she stands like she's still in them :o) Allen said something about her being a good ballet dancer I said hold that thought for now, shes a bit young for that. She has been having a great time getting around and playing with Gabriel the two of them laughing at goodness knows what is nice to listen to it makes you smile :o)

The fairies have been

Tuesday night I was reminded with 2 minutes warning that I had to talk at young womens. So with 2 minutes to get everything together with the little kids and still having only half their dinner Jasmine and I were running around the house like chickens with our heads off trying to get all the stuf together and still be there on time. While we were away my washing fairy (AKA Simone) came by and pulled the washing off the line, folded it AND left a block of chocolate for us! It was so nice and it gave me a big smile :o)

Your going the right way for a smacked bottom!

Its never going to end!!!!!! Ive started the ball rolling and now the avalanche is approaching. SAVE YOURSELVES!

For something that was meant in genuine good humor has been taken soooo far out of context its not funny Allen has spat it with his parents which again I think is sad.

Its not that serious I mean really!?!

I have learnt that even though some people were not privey to my humor or opinions because apparently Im not allowed to have one because Im not American....

I would like to thank those people who supported me and thought that yes I do have a brain and can actually have an opinion. (thanks Erik and Jess).

Maybe I sh\uld \avelistened to my father when he told me that at the dinner table you dont talk about politics or religion it just gives people gas
