Yes we do work! The boys captured in a Jolly Phonics moment: "Do you want to come with me for a walk or do some of your workbooks?"
Yes, we have rabbits: two were allowed inside to star in a video/be shown on webcam to one of Joy's blogfriends. Joy's friend Imi came round all afternoon and they had loads of fun.
This was on Sunday, on our way back from the cinema. The boys have already seen The Golden Compass on DVD but I was really looking forward to seeing it, having read the books, and needed an excuse! And I wasn't dissappointed. I was engrossed, and enjoyed the characters: Nicole Kidman was a great Mrs Coulter, and that coyboy guy, what was his name? Interesting to see what they do with the other books.
It did cost me 18 quid, including the popcorn and cup of tea, none of which, I hasten to add, was split. Unlike the two other children we went with, who left a carpet of popcorn around ther seats and after we had left we found out they had left early. I don't know why I'm gloating at this, maybe because it is often assumed that you can't take my children anywhere, because they don't know how to behave (because they don't go to school [unspoken]). No, the funniest bit was when the second the adverts started this miserable old geezer in the row behind grumbled: "Can you sit down, I can't see". Kelly, who was settling her two boys in their seats just looked at him and said "It's a coco-pops advert". Maybe you had to be there.
