New Year, New Start

2010, going to be 38 this year, funny how I don't really feel much different than I did at 20.

I gave up blogging for a while, mostly because I'd moved back to England and originally had set up this blog to keep in touch with family. Just because I'm back in the UK though doesn't mean that I get to actually see a lot of my family as they're dispersed all over the place.

So back to blogging for anyone who wants to read...

Getting back into Blogging

It's been a while since I was a regular at writing, but I'm going to try and get back into regular updates. Callum & Kieran are now both at full time school and I'm getting used to having a few hours to myself each day.

Kieran started school without a backwards glance and is absolutely loving it. I picked him up after his first day and he gave me a big hug and said "you came back!" , now he just says "it's SO nice to see you" and gives his brother a huge hug while all the other parents in the line go "aahhhh".

Kieran is going through a couple of annoying phases at the moment, the first is the joke phase - it goes like this...

Kieran: knock, knock
us: Who's there?
Kieran: orange
us: Orange who?
Kieran (laughing his head off as if we're about to hear the funniest thing EVER): oranges and bananas!!!!

He'll tell the same joke over and over and over and over again.

The other phases is the "what is it" phase. We were driving along and chatting after school and I happened to mention that we were going to go round the roundabout and then pick up Daddy...

Kieran: What's a roundabout?
Me: a big circle that you drive around
Kieran: What's a circle?
Me: it's a shape
Kieran: what's a shape?
Me: uhh, umm, uhh

think I'll have to start carrying a dictionary with me wherever we go
