End of an Era
Today was Joes last day at nursery.
It was a very sad day saying goodbye to all the ladies who have looked after my babies for the past six & a half years & I was incredibly emotional went I went round to each of the rooms to give them all a hug!
Now is the start of a new chapter in all our lives & whilst I am excited about what the future may bring there's a teensy part of me that sad about closing this chapter on our lives....

When I Grow Up
Lauren; When I grow up I want to be a policewoman. Oh and I want to be Hello Kitty.
Joe: I want to be Spiderman.
I'll ask them both again in 5 years and see what the answer is then....

Sport
This weeks gallery theme is Sport.
I knew exactly which photos to use! My husband is a complete & utter sporting nut, aside from horse racing, he will pretty much watch anything. You name it, he'll watch it - Rugby, swimming, running, tennis, boxing, darts, american football, basketball, snooker, the list goes on & on (and I can't think of any others) but his major passions are football (Spurs to be precise) and cricket. I asked him once what he would choose if he had to pick between cricket & Spurs and he couldn't answer!
An average day will see him checking the BBC sports pages at least 15 times and when he is home sky sports is on most of the time (apart from when I get control of the remote!) weekends tend to revolve around whichever major football/cricket/major sporting event is on.
Sadly, he has problems with his hips & it would be dangerous for him to play any sport. I suppose I should be grateful that he doesn't play otherwise I'd never see him but I know how sad this makes him and I wish he was able to indulge in his passion.
Even though I am not a sporting nut (unfortunatly for him) he regularly comes home from watching something and proceeds to give me a blow by blow account including words such as 'offside' 'penalty' and 'twenty for over' none of which mean diddly squat to me!
He was fortunate to get tickets for 4 Olympic events and was like a kid at Christmas on Monday - the day before the 1st event! I swear he wasn't this excited when I announced both my pregnancies!
He is desperate for the kids to follow in his love! Lauren is proving to be an ace swimmer & we have high hopes for Joes future as a gymnast (he hasn't actually started classes yet but he's got strong arms/body & is very bendy so we are living in hope!)
Having been someone who has always disliked sport & always regretting never finding a big passion for an event that can bond the whole family i really do hope the kids find a sport they love & that we can all enjoy!
Failing that I suppose I better start learning about the off-side rule....

Movies
This weeks gallery theme is 'Movies.'
Lauren is now at the age where she is interested in films with 'real' people in i.e. not cartoons ;-)
Admittedly they are still children's films eg Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Marmaduke etc but at the beginning of this year we both watched Grease and she LOVED it!
I had a battle of conscience as to wether she was too young for it but fortunately some of the more 'adult' content went over her head & she was more interested in the singing & dancing. A few weeks ago her close friend Lou had a Grease themed birthday party and we dressed Lauren up in some 60s finery!
