It's that time...

Well the boys have been in bed all day with temperatures and coughs. That's three months of school and they're completely wiped out! Well at last we have two weeks in recovery now. I have been making mincemeat for pies, during which Freddie sat on the kitchen floor in his pj's with a very big book, that has a CD, saying can you read this story to me, this page...and this page...and this page... so I said I would but by the time I'd fetched Joy from riding he was fst asleep in bed again. What are the chances of them sleeping through the night?

I am currently simmering apple chutney, which is refusing to set. Were the caraway seeds a vital ingredient, I wonder???

So anyway, the last few weeks have ben a bit busy, with all sorts of school plays, etc. Here's Fergus in his violin recital... (on right, yes he now only has shoulder-length hair)

I missed Joy's pantomime, in favour of watching Freddie's Christmas songs, but I was not disappointed... (big Santa)
(Just tried and failed to upload a video- OK its really wobbly, but I'm just amazed I managed to randomly hit the record button just as Freddie had his starring role!)
