The pumpkin twins

29. October 2007

Morris wanted a ’scary’ pumpkin and Eden wanted a ‘pretty’ one, here’s the best that Daddy could muster.

My boy Morris just got a new lunch box (bag actually) for when he goes to ‘big’ school in Sept. Let’s just cut to the chase and list the features that aforementioned lunch box has: It’s Dr Who themed (this is definitely A Good Thing if you’re a four year old with TV fixation) It’s got a [...]

Our second pregancy of the year was scanned today and I’m delighted to say that there was: Movement this time Only one set of limbs The kids - who were with us at the scan and prepped for a ‘dead baby again’ (their words) - think it’s pretty cool with Eden hoping it’s a girl and Morris wanting [...]

I had a lovely time away with my family this weekend over the Easter break. We stayed at a privately owned (and rented by us direct) static caravan on a Haven Holidays park in North Wales near Criccieth. We easily avoided all of the supplied “entertainment” and restaurants on-site and just used the place as [...]

Ackers made an excellent summation of what it’s like being around our little ones at the moment. I normally take the morning shift and it’s just like this, it’s *great*. I’m finding the twins so very hard at the moment. Nothing major but just constant ‘I want Ready Brek with honey in it!’ ‘Not HOT Ready Break [...]

I took the kids to the playground up at the top of our road on Saturday. Morris doesn’t like the swings ‘It’s a bit scary actually’, so he kicked a football around (good boy) and messed about on the slide. Eden however ran right to the swings. I plonked her in the kiddie ones (the ones [...]

Me and Becky took Morris kite flying onto Wanstead Flats yesteday. It was with a £2.99 Thomas The Tank Engine kite and from Morris’ point of view it was the best thing he’d ever experienced. Obviously me being me I was immediately thinking of getting a better one so we could do some stunts, but I [...]

Cathie, Morris and Eden were in the Leytonstone Guardian last week: http://www.leytonstoneguardian.co.uk/search/display.var.623330.0.seeing_doubles_twins_and_triplets_day_out.php Bottom right, you can see Morris’ red jumper, just. I think I wasn’t there due to me being knocked put by a kidney infection.
