DAY ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY!!!

Happy Birthday Dad!!!

I have now been blogging for about half a year! It hasn't been flawless and on occasions I have borrowed a photo from a previous day (ooops), but hopefully the information is quite accurate and I'll still have a clear picture of what has happened this year.

This morning I finally went to the optician. I hadn't been since before Joshua was born and was surprised that my prescription is lower than what it was, rather than higher. Very strange. I also got 2x pairs of glasses. In the evening, Becky and I went to see the latest Harry Potter movie (The Half-Blood Prince). It was very entertaining, even if not very loyal to the book. Taro stayed home looking after Joshua, so I now owe him a movie night :-)

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-NINE

Joshua has been enjoying his new chair that we bought at IKEA a couple of days ago. He can now sit at a table like a big boy and do some drawings.

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-EIGHT

A couple of days ago Becky and I went to the Garden Centre to buy some flowers. She bought loads for her garden, which 3yrs later, she is finally starting to take care of; and I bought a couple of indoor plants - as Joshua no longer destroys everything he sees. :-)

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SEVEN

Yay to IKEA!
Becky and I went to IKEA today and bought loads of stuff, some needed others not so much!
I stocked up on cheap kitchen stuff and bought Joshua a duvet and cover for his bed, as well as a Joshua sized stool.
Becky bought Sophie a table and chairs, and lots of other bits and pieces. Oh, and lots of kitchen stuff too!

I do like the Swedish put it together yourself 'cause we can't be bothered attitude! lol

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIX

Becky and I went to the Garden Centre in the morning. I needed a couple of growbags and some plants and Becky wanted lots of flowers. In the afternoon, while the children played nicely outside, I planted a few more tomato plants. I hope they all grow nicely and the children keep their little hands away...

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE

After about a year of covering the fireplace, we have finally moved the improvised cover off it. Joshua thankfully hasn't shown great interest in getting to the coals, as he used to, and the living room looks a lot nicer now. We have even put some paintings up in the house and tried to make it all a little neater and tidier.

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FOUR

Taro and I took Joshua to the playground early this morning as we were all quite awake. It had been raining overnight, so there were lots of puddles everywhere, which Joshua loved!
