Thirteen Things Happening in Our Household This Week

Projectile Vomit - Riley did his first projectile vomit on Sunday. Adam was mesmerised. Unfortunately, we were in a busy cafe at the time and felt the scorn of other patrons burning through our skulls as they sucked down their soft eggs. Sick - Consequently, Riley has been ill this week. More on that tomorrow. Keira's New Bike - is going great guns. She can make it move under her own propulsion now Keira's talking - a neighbour mentioned in passing she thought Keira has a little lisp. If she does, it would be from the thumb-sucking. What do you reckon, family? Next time you're here, listen carefully for me and tell me what you think. Picture Book Story Draft #2 - is complete and nearing as close as I think possible to being 'done'. Daylight savings - has ended, making the kids irritable with time readjustment. And mum and dad. Keira's faces - as per yesterday's photo, she's taken to mugging for the camera. We've got an actress on our hands. I'm getting Tummy Rolls - I need to start exercising again. Bad. Keira's preschool wrote - and set a date for her to start properly. Oxygen masks for mum on standby. Reading Anne of Green Gables - It's not on the 1001 Books challenge, but everybody's talking about it lately. While I've watched the 1980's mini-series a hundred times, I've never actually read the books - that's if you don't count me frantically thumbing through the latter ones in the desperate search to see Anne and Gilbert 'getting it on' because, yes, that's the kind of depraved person I am. Finished Nick Hornby's The Complete Polysyllabic Spree . Great food for thought on books and reading. I've taken notes and may, sometime this milennia, post them up. The Biggest Loser - thank God Bob and Jillian are back because the show undoubtedly has more pep when they're around. Who's going to win? Happy Birthday to my sister for Friday! Twenty- Six! Positively old!
