Leaves

Today we went a walk to the Grotto - the aim was to play in the leaves as there are thousands there, but H preferred jumping in very deep puddles on this occasion! The inside of her boots and socks were soaking wet - must remember to wear a puddlesuit next time. She was very interested in the statues of the saints, but for some reason decided they were bad - "He's a bad man isn't he Mummy"? "No darling, that's John Paul II, please keep your voice down"!

Auntie J came over at night and after we put the kids to bed, we had a Chinese and a few vodkas whilst watching X Factor and gabbing. J stayed overnight too to save a taxi home, and was delighted that H and O didn't get up until 8.30am as that was a long lie for her.
