Saturday's Shenanigans ...

We began today with TJ coming downstairs and asking me if he could write his letter to Father Christmas... "But it's only August, " I told him. "there's months before Father Christmas comes yet."  He looked at me like I was dumb, "I know that," he replied, "but last year I asked him for loads of stuff that I didn't get, so this year I am making sure he has more time to shop for the things I really want." I actually had to leave the room in case he saw me laughing....

Today it has been unbearably hot, the weather loves to keep us on our toes throughout the summer. Today the boys didn't want to go outside and when I mentioned the word 'walk' to the dog she barely lifted her head off the floor as if to say 'are you kidding me?'. We decide to go into Maidstone as papa needed an eye test and the boys wanted some 'Horrid Henry' books. I don't care what they read as long as they read... So off to the bookshop we went.as we walked through the town centre we noticed that a lot of people were wearing very little. TJ was fascinated by the young men showing off their muscles, I think he was very impressed by their abs, as indeed was I, but probably for different reasons. TJ asked me if he could take his shirt off, I told him that unfortunately he shouldnt as he will burn in the sun. Then we turned a corner and walked past a packed pub, again full of men with their shirts off, Lea took one look and turned to TJ and said (quite loudly) "see that's why Daddy said you can't take your shirt off... You too thin!" I tried to hush Lea up, I know it's usually a mistake to try and tell children not to point out what they see and this was no exception. "No look Daddy," she continued, "Those men all have really big bellies and they have their shirts off." she then continued, "And you haven't got your shirt off even though your belly is just as big".... Luckily the guys in the pub saw the funny side too....

We then headed off to look at a new sofa set. After we had decided and were leaving Lea walked up to the assistant and said, "Thank you for helping us choose our new sofa. Can you make it quickly and deliver it soon."
"I don't actually make the sofas," the man said. "Then what do you do?" Lea snorted and we quickly left.....
