Mothers Day

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

Written by Gary

3rd AprilHow do I get tripped up every year by this event. I know it's coming but always leave it to the last minute to sort something out. The first few years when my wife became a mother was where the problem started.I simply couldn't get my head around the concept that I had to go and buy a gift for her from her son. He wasn't able to because he was too young and couldn't go on the internet himself to order it. This leads to all sorts of problems such as what do you buy her, how do you get...

I picked up my son today from the after school fitness skills club. It was his first day because he was unable to go on Mondays as he had his karate and the school neglected to tell us that as it had proved popular they had also started it on Fridays.

We found out by accident but were very pleased because he had been asking to go from the start of the year and had even considered giving up karate. We consequently ensured that he would be included even though there were only 3 weeks left...

We got a Mamas and Papas cotbed and it has served very well. My eldest made use of it until my latest offspring came along and now he sleeps in it...

I guess the title should read Kung Fu Panda changed my sons life - or it may have done. This obviously makes no sense at all but I'll explain what I mean.

My son KJ watched Kung Fu Panda and was instantly smitten. Previously he had loved the movie Cars and he still does but this seems to have taken back stage to Kung Fu Panda. We probably have watched the film 10 times together and he must have watched it on his own many more times than that. I like the film as well and am a great fan of...

 

Why I wish I was a morning person

I'm not a morning person. I hate getting up in the morning and if left to my own devices could quite easily sleep in until 11am. My wife isn't a morning person either, whilst not quite as bad as me she still likes her lie ins.

This has given us a massive problem over the last 4 years. No body told me kids like to get up really early. I thought it was just Christmas day they got up at 6 to open their presents from Father Christmas. Oh no, they time it just right to cause as much disruption to...
