Happy Hal­loween!!

Squidge went to her friends Chloe’s house for a Hal­loween party. Chloe was born in San Fran­cisco and her mother wants her to cel­e­brate Amer­i­can hol­i­days. I think it’s pretty cool– I see many Amer­i­can hol­i­days spent w/ Chloe in the future. Squidge had a fab time eat­ing and eat­ing and trick or treat­ing and eat­ing sweets.

Can we say sugar rush??!?!! At one point she tried to make a run for it!

So I put her in the pound!

We had a great time Teddy! Thanks for hav­ing us and we hope every­one had a great halloween!!

Lost in South Africa

Posted on October 30, 2007

Wal has been in Cape Town, South Africa since the 21st.  He was sup­posed to  be fly­ing home Sun­day night to arrive Mon­day morn­ing.  As you prob­a­bly guessed– that didn’t hap­pen.  While pack­ing and gath­er­ing all his things Wal real­ized he couldn’t find his pass­port– ruh roh!  He was able to change his flight to one later in the week.  He’s man­aged to get all the doc­u­men­ta­tion needed for a emer­gency replace­ment and will be home Thurs­day morn­ing– woo! 

Before he real­ized some­one had taken his pass­port he sent me this photo– doesn’t he look all tanned and relaxed?  Lit­tle did he know!!!

Can any­one tell what’s wrong with this pic­ture?

Oh and did you know that ketchup con­tains milk??  I was sit­ting at the table eat­ing my lunch and I started read­ing the label.  It’s really dis­gust­ing what they put in some of these foods.  So back to the point– MILK!!  Who would have thought ketchup of all things con­tains milk.  I’m going to have to check if all brands con­tain milk of if it’s just the cheapo Tesco brand I bought. 

Grrr

As some of you might have noticed, I’ve been tweak­ing my blog.  I’m try­ing to add a flickr badge and I can’t.  I appear to be the only dumb-ass in the entire blo­gos­phere that can’t add a flickr badge.  I’ve also tried to add the NoProB­leMo (not it’s actual name) and I can’t fig­ure out how to make it link back to the Ning page.  Grrr so I’m just a dumb-ass.

What do you guys think of the new header.  I chose this one because Wal thinks Squidge has amaz­ing eyes.  So being the sap­pi­est of saps I did the eyes. 

Here’s Squidge’s new trick– eat­ing at the table on a big chair. High­chairs are for suckas!!

Buh Bye!

They came, they slept, they ate, they left.

I think that is pretty much all that was done here for 3 days.  I think they were a lit­tle bored.  On Fri­day I was going to take them to the city cen­tre but they looked like they needed the sleep– I went to my baby group instead.  On Sat­ur­day we went look­ing for Lyme Park and got really lost.  We ended up at Bra­mall Hall Park– nice but small. 

I left them in the vil­lage to hang out while I went home to put Squidge to bed.  They stayed in Sat­ur­day night– Dan was asleep before 8pm so I think they really needed this quiet rest stop in Manchester. 

They’re off to Bel­gium tonight and I hope they have a good time. 

Pub lunch and backpackers

Posted on October 26, 2007

Yes­ter­day we met the girls at a local pub for lunch.  We all  had a good time.  Well except for B who had a bit of a ‘dis­cus­sion’ w/ the bar­tender.  She was try­ing to find out what was in the fish fin­gers– and was told that they throw out all pack­ag­ing and well she just couldn’t tell her.  Besides there’s no milk in fish fin­gers.  B  per­se­vered and finally was able to get the man­ager to go and check.  Appar­ently there IS trace amounts of milk in fish fin­gers.  B is being super strict w/ the milk because C has been have a lot of tummy issues.  It’s really dif­fi­cult to order food when you have a child on a restricted diet.  Next time we’ll be going to Nando’s, they appar­ently have a large binder filled w/ every item on the menu and what is in it. In the end she did find some­thing to eat and all was well. Just a bit of a has­sle, the woman could have been a bit more helpful.

And then these folks showed up! I made a big pot of chicken noo­dle soup and some bread. They ate it all so they were either really hun­gry and would have eaten any­thing or it was good and they really liked it. I think it was a lit­tle bit of both.

This is what my liv­ing room floor looks like right now (it’s 1:30 in the after­noon)
