The boys school holds a Scholastic book fair twice a year (They used to just send Red House catalogues home) and last week Maxi and Mini were exposed to the sort of retail pressure that no child should ever experience and I encountered the worst sort of emotional blackmail.
When my mum was pregnant with me she was so sure that she was having a boy that when it came to discussing baby names with my dad, that she only discussed baby boys names with him and as she was certain I was a boy, I was to be Stanley William. A good Strong, if not really of it’s time baby name.
They also had a great time making some Easter chicks which we had also been sent. They looked at the image on the box and managed to make them all themselves. I love the fact that they are getting older and want to do their own thing and all I need now is an Easter tree to hang them on.
Do you make Easter bonnets with your children?

I started this blog as a record of my time with the Minimads. I started it as I wasn’t sure how much longer I would be with them and I wanted to leave them with an online journal of my thoughts, the things we were doing and a small window on my life. My blog has evolved over the years, as have I. I am no longer so scared that I am going to die, but I do still want the blog to be a window to my soul and give them a small insight in to the person who is their mummy.

You might remember that last earlier in the year I took a load of samples of Vosene Kids to hand out at the boys school, which I think are fabtastic, anything that helps prevent the spread of nits or critters as they are called in our house is very welcome.

Sally has tagged me in the Fridge of a bad parent meme, eeeek….., but the good news is I am not alone, Pippa, Vic and Emma have to do it too (insert evil cackle)
I have to say that Sally’s fridge looked rather fuller than I have seen it in the past and I am hoping that there is still bear in it when we go and visit next week. My fridge is chockablock with food, although that is due to the fact that I managed to go shopping with the minimads yesterday evening.
I am very proud to say after lots of hard work and a few late nights (not mine mind you) the the second MAD Blog Awards are open and taking nominations. You may remember last year I was a finalist in the Best MAD Family Fun Blog, I didn’t win, no that honor went to Pippa at A Mothers Ramblings, but in some ways I got something much better, I became a partner in the company that runs the awards, along with the Tots100 with Sally Whittle from Who’s the Mummy.
