Xstitch Dreaming

So we had the big kerfuffle last year when the Doctor decided my DD had chicken pox and I thought he was wrong. Well I know he was wrong now as she has it for real this time! Poor baby is a mass of spots and is still getting new ones every day she is being fairly good for a kid her age and not scratching too much. She is having a hard time at night so I have had a few sleepless ones but during the day she is ok.
The chicken pox has given her a sore throat as well so I have been giving her ice pops and small lollies to help ease it and get some fluids into her. Yesterday I gave her a mini Calipo and she sat there for ages pushing it up and gooing "oooh UP" and then dropping it "gone!" and giggling away to herself like mad it was just adorable.

DS#1 is still High School Musical mad he sat there listening to the CD in the car while I got petrol and when I got back in the car I got; "Mum you really should have listened to that song. That was a good one really good but you missed it" he then gave a huge sigh and threw me a pitying look. He is already formulating his arguements for his Dad as to why he needs the DVD of it and the DVD of Jump In and the CD of Jump In and High School Musical the concert. Luckily he is not yet aware of High School Musical 2.

DS#2 had me in hysterica yesterday. He saw an advert for Spiderman 3 toys and was the usual I want that one, I want that one etc etc and I told him he wasn't having any as he had some spiderman toys already. His response:

DS "I will buy them myself"
Me "Where will you get the money from?"
DS "Argos"
Me "You think that Argos will give you money to buy toys?"
DS "Of course they do it all them time!"

I am not sure he gets that Argos is not a lets buy children toys charity!

Well will write more later just had to get that lot down before I forgot

My kids have discovered High School Musical, well to be honest they discovered it many months ago but I only recently succumbed to the pressure and let them watch it on Disney Channel. Of course this only ended with the "Can we have the DVD Mum? Can we please? and there is a CD too Mum please we really love it mum please?" and then when we went into Toys'R'Us the other day and they had High School Musical toys OMG!!!
So I crumbled and got them the CD but told them they could not have the DVD until Daddy got home and then they had to ask him rofl.
So today I allowed them to listen to the CD in the car on the way home from school and I have never seen anything so funny in my entire life. Imagine a school canteen scene where the theme of the song is "Stick to the stuff you know" with lots of NO NO NO NOOOOOOO with the kids dancing on tables and all kinds. Now try to imagine my kids re-enacting that scene whilst in their car seats waving their fingers at No No No NOoooooooo. I had real trouble controlling my laughter so I could drive and avoid getting told off by them for laughing at them.
They are now dancing around the living room doing a different song about having your head in the game (basketball) and they are hilarious.

Of course there is a High School Musical2 coming out soon *GROAN* and they already have plans to make me watch something called Jump In with them which is about competetive skipping (as in with ropes) ???? Well a break from Power rangers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I guess pmsl

We had a lovely day yesterday I went to one of the Battalion coffee mornings I decided I better give it a try and the Welfare Officer was obviously desperate to get people there as he sent everyone not one but two texts to remind them about it rofl. DS#2 and DD loved it. They ran around playing and giggling and then there was a magician. Oh I wish I had the camera with me but I hadn't even occurred to me I would need it. This magician picked DS#2 as his assistant and kept handing him trick wands which drooped or turned out to have another wand inside them etc. DS#2 was laughing so much and so hard it was wonderful The magician then chose DD to hand out sweets. This would have been fine except he couldn't get her name right, DD has a name that is very similar sounding to anotherand DS#2 kept yelling HER NAME IS XXXX NOT XXXX! After that it was a rush around to get them sorted before both had school but we managed it.

Anyhow the good day didn't end there. I also with prodding from another wife signed up for the next Wives night (I have to admit the promise of Karaoke didn't hurt ;-) ). So I decided to go out and get a new dress and some shoes and a handbag. So I was in the shoe shop waiting for the lady to get them in the right size for me to try on and this happened;

Manageress "Are you getting them for your Prom?"
Me "Sorry?"
Manageress "The shoes are they for your Prom?"
Me "School Prom?"
Manageress (probably thinking I am dense) "Yes"
Me "Umm how old do you think I am?"
Manageress "18 19"
Me "OKaaaay I am 33, married with 3 kids"
Manageress "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo you don't look it"
Me huge grin

Cool eh?
