Today's highlights:
- Boy child made it to 18 - also out of the house before 8am (that never happens on non work / school days) and took a shower
From this
to this...
- Very clearly on top parenting form today, Cosima only had to ask for grey bears 7 times for me to work out she means quavers, also apparently now books also get tired, so yes I actually helped her to rock them to sleep and tuck them up with blankets. I did try to read the books bed time stories but my smallest informs me that they don't need stories to be "all better now"
- Dann put up the very huge paddling pool and so far no-one drowned - although it's so hot I'm seriously considering going and diving head first into it
- Ethan went paintballing, I tried to parent him and advise that it hurts like hell and to make sure to wear protective clothing.. but you know he's 18 and I know nothing about anything...
You all know how much I hate to say I told you so...
- Literally everyone got in the pool and my kitchen sieve is an excellent remover of ick from said pool
- I got in the pool too, but in a fabulous moment of humilty and modesty that I'm known for, here is a picture of me in a swimming costume that is too big, this is important because I don't swim for numerous reasons and I most certainly never wear a swimming costume because I hate how I look in them, however this I love and is evidence that my (our) slimming world journey is totally worth it
- Mum took leave of her senses twice today.. (which is the minimum amount a day)
- We were discussing the impending holiday and I was explaining that I could book her into the 55+ classes that are call Les Milles, now admittedly (and no I hadn't had a drink) my enunciation might not have been all that clear, which I didn't realise until she asked me why I would sign her up for lesbian meals... sometimes I have no words...
- Mum also decided to fix her own teeth, which I do not have the human effort to explain but when she was asking if she could borrow the play-doh to do so I was more than my usual level of confused. I haven't dared look in her mouth as yet (I'll update you when I do)
- I got Chuckied far too early in the morning, but I admitedly am missing the Baby Kain cuddles (He is never going to be just Kain he is forever more thanks to his cousin Baby Kain) so I went with it. I'm not sure why the Chucky's have to be naked all the time it doesn't make them any less terrifying
- There were birthday brownies which had a squllion syns in but as I kept telling myself I already burnt those calories off 18 years ago giving birth so it was okay... no actual photo's of the brownies because naturally I got rid of the evidence as soon as humanly possible.
- Finally in a right of passage my baby boy took himself off into town to celebrate the way 18 year olds do (He also took another shower so I guess he's all good until 19) This naturally involved a tutu, unicorn horns and an 18 badge. My heart almost burst with pride when he announced "you know me mum, I'm all about the attention, it's all about me" which is proof that if I taught him nothing over the last 18 years I least taught him how to use his ego. I halfheartedly gave him a lecture about dehydration, stomach pumping and NOT waking his sister up when he stumbles through the door. Current status is waiting for the how much he loves me texts to start..
- Nothing to add to my 39 list as yet
