Changing the clocks

What is the point of having an hour extra in the morning if your 5 year old wakes you at 5:30 am?????

Cute

We went to Florida the other week and I told the boys we are going on a plane to Miami

Andrew then says "we are going to yourami?"

Matthew then said "so we are going to miami?"

Andrew then said "no we are going to mummy's ami"

It took me about 10 minutes to explain that it was Miami not Myami. This was made much harder by the fact that he hasn't learnt to spell yet. I think we have sorted this now.

Matthew has just finished telling me all about "Octopus Prime" (Optimus Prime) the transformer.

I think it is so funny when the kids think they have heard you correctly but not quite.

Halloween / Trick or Treat

I have been thinking about Halloween and trick or treating recently. It occured to me that through trick or treating society is giving chldren mixed messages about taking candy from strangers.

On the one hand you tell the kids don't take candy from strangers then on the other hand you take them out to get candy from strangers. I know that we did not know any of the kids that knock on our door last night.

I just wonder what this is doing in their little heads? I reckon it could really screw with a kids brain if you aren't careful, and could even be quite dangerous.

Just a thought.
