212 +108 Weeks

What a crazy busy week this has been!  We had a lovely weekend at home with the kids.  The weather is pretty cold at the moment, so going to the park isn't much fun lately.  Instead, we took the kids to see their new house on Saturday.  They were so excited, and were running around like two chickens with their heads cut off.  They had a play in their new back yard, and Carmie chose her bedroom.  The house is going to be perfect for us.  The back yard is great, with a back patio, courtyard and grassy area, so plenty to keep Arley occupied.  We can't wait to move in, but we have another month or so to wait, as we are making a few changes.  I had no idea how busy these small renovations would make me, but I am at the house every day and can't seem to find time to pack a single box, so it is lucky the move is still weeks away!  I am sure it will go quickly though.

Arley is still sniffly, but was definitely better behaved this week.  He has wooed another woman in his life.  Last term it was his swim teacher, and this term it is his carer at school.  She keeps telling me how she just loves him, how cute he is, etc etc.  But I bet she hasn't seen the temper he's got!  He has no qualms about showing me though - he mostly says no to things these days, and likes to throw his weight around so that he is impossible to pick up.  And he screams a lot.  Carmie is generally good when he is naughty, and often naughty when he is good.  They like to tag team, just to drive us especially crazy.  Thank goodness for their school!!  By the way, it seems like Carmie is learning to read :)

Here are some videos from this week:
