Happy Friday...

I haven't blogged much this week at all. It's been a strange week and I've been busy for a change. Tonight, we're going out to dinner with Doug (waiting for the taxi as I type). We'll probably drink too much and get home quite late. Tomorrow we're having my expat friend, Aniela and her husband over for the day. I'm looking really forward to her visit and I'm sorry we didn't do it months ago, because in a few weeks she'll be moving back to the states and I'll be lucky if we get to see each other again. I spent the day today cleaning and cooking in preparation for their visit. I really enjoy having company and wish we had more friends and Doug would finally find a girlfriend so I can do it more often.
We haven't been out since our anniversary so I'm looking forward to tonight as well. I can't wait for the spring to finally arrive so I can get out and do more. It's been a really long winter.
I think I hear the taxi...
Have a good weekend everyone...

Our Disaster of a Day!

My in-laws just left after a five day visit.  I don't mind it being a five day visit, but then again, five days of your house not being your own is always a bit unsettling and although I don't look forward to their departure when they are here, I can't say I'm sad to have things go back to normal. As a treat for my son's birthday, we took him to the Museum of Natural History in London on Thursday.  He chose to go because we took him last year (he's been crazy about dinosaurs since he was three years old).  They give out adventure packs at the museum which consist of a back pack, safari hat, and binoculars with an adventure to follow during their visit.  The back pack has clues in it to solve a mystery.  Last year it had a dinosaur claw, a tooth and a sample of dinosaur skin he had to match up to one on display.  He had a great time solving the mystery and even remembered which dinosaur it ended up being. Last year's trip was wonderful.  We walked right in,

Fight Club for Five Year Olds - Part 2

The other mother and I went into the school to meet with the teacher and the assistant head.  We both let them know how upset we were that we were not informed that our children were sent to the office and how much we were against the children being allowed to play fighting games on the playground.  I told them I wouldn't allow it at home and I'm really unhappy that it's being allowed at school.  They admitted it was a problem and explained that they are planning to introduce a a scheme to teach the children to play in a safe way.  They will be calling it 'Super Hero Training'.  They plan to give out capes & masks out to children who behave well as rewards at playtime.  They will have assemblies where they will teach the children to play fighting games without making contact.  I find this to be absurd.  The problem has gone on to long and I doubt they will be able to teach little children to change their games when they have sixty other children to look after on

Playing with my new lens...

I got a new camera lens for my birthday last week.  I don't have a lot of time to play with it, but this is one of the first shots I took...
