Such a good day today, this morning was my crafting with children group. The hour we spent away from the children was hilarious. We had to do an exersize where we wrote down one lie and one truth about ourselves and the others in the group had to decide which was which. Mine were
1) I can touch my nose with my tongue.
2) I can turn my eyelids inside out.

Can you guess which is true?

This afternoon I collected Jayne and Amelia (so great having a cer to get around) and we went with Jack and Erin back to the animal park in Axminster. They now have 6 baby wallabys slowly emerging from their Mums pouches. Only saw 2 of them though and they were just heads poking out. I was lucky though to see 2 of the peacocks with their tail feathers up. Stunning is the only word to describe it. My blip though is one of them in the process of packing his tail away. The colours are just amazing. Fell in love with this baby bunny for sale too but Darren says no. Lucky I didn't go through with my first though of just buying it and bringing it home. I do need Darren to rein me in sometimes or there would be more animals than people living in my road!!

The childrens bedtime wasn't so great today. As per usual they were asked to help tidy their toys away before bed. Jack however decided tonight he wasn't going to. Apparently he couldn't because he only has "little hands". Then he told me to do it and said he would start counting 123 and then growled "dooooo itttttt" at me. How I hid the laughter I don't know. I then said that because Erin was being so good she could have 5 mins etc and Daddy said he would play snap in that time with her. Jack then decided he wanted to tidy too and was given a 2nd chance. He just sat there and when I asked him to start he just said "I don't want to". Then it is bedtime and I took him upstairs. He cried so much about missing the game of snap and I felt awful. I know that he needs to know we mean what we say but blimey it was hard and I felt so sad for him. It is tough sometimes being the parent when you just want to be a friend.
