More Farm pics
Okay Blogger is giving me grief tonight so scroll down and read the second post then the this one then the third one. Arrrgg just when you dont want to go wrong. :(
Of everything and anything....
Life doesnt seem to slow down these days. We are just as busy as ever here. All have another round of colds. but these dont seem as bad as what we have had previously. I am actually posting this from the front room! Yipee! we have our office now! well sort of. still a few items in the back room that will have to wait till K gets the shelves put up. we have the rails for the shelfs up now we just have to get the wood for them. Hopefully one of these days. :)
School or should I say college is going well. I am over half way thru now. My teacher thinks I will be done by June/July. hmm I think she is a little more optomistic then I am. ach well, will see what happens. The college has actually hired me to tutor one of the other ladies in my class. They heard I was helping her and now they want to pay me to do it! Wow I was shocked when my assesor told me this last week! I am only required to do an hour a week so that is not bad.
It is nice having less dust in the house with the front room finished. We almost have the backroom done with the window seat staining etc. Dad came last week and helped K get the plastering done around the windows and then I stripped the paint off the window seat and K sanded it. (my arms are still aching at the last attempt I did on sanding) Then today I got the first two coats of stain put on it. Now we just need to do the last two and put the paper up and paint. :) then the drapes can finally go up. I will finally have proper window coverings!
I got the drapes for the bathroom hemned last week at mums. So now they can go up once we get the curtain rail bent to the right direction. Dad is going to help us when he gets back. They are visiting his sister this week.
Since Ks parents are gone this week I have changed and am going into school thurs/friday instead of tue/wed as someone needs to keep little T while I am there. :)
I will leave you with some photos of the kids on a farm with Nome over the holidays. They had such a good time. Thanks Nome for taking them. And of course T stayed here with me so we had to get a photo of him after they got home. :) He is growing up so fast! Its amazing what he is coming out with these days!
ps there are actually three posts including this one of pictures. Opps just relised some I didnt turn. arrg.

Scrapping/sanding/staining :)
Yes all of that has been on my agenda that last few weeks. K has been out of town to London and got home last Thurs. While he was gone I was sanding and staining the woodwork in our front room. G (Kś sisters husband) came and put the laminate flooring down in the front hall and front room last week Kś dad helped too. Oh it is nice to finally have flooring down and not just the floor boards. Then we had to scrape off some of the old wallpaper and put new stuff up.
Between the kids in school the first week K was gone and then they have been on holiday the last week and this week. And working in the front room plus getting a bunch of clothes ready to take to the NCT sale in Skipton last week I was very busy. Have not had much time to do really anything else.
This week is still busy just not as busy as last week. I have school tomorrow night and have started tutoring another student in my class. She came today for about 2 hours. little T was so cute as we were trying to study he kept coming up and asking me to read his book.
T sais quite a few words now. After I change his nappys he loves to take the nappy bag to the bin and when I gave it to him the other day he said ¨tantu¨ it was so surprising to hear him say it! :) he also sais ohdear, ohboy, ohwow, dandad (for grandad) daddy, mummy, pss (please) wawa (water) boot (book) bir (bird) gamy (grammy) dow (down) and of course his ohhhh for everything else. :)
The kids are enjoying being on holiday. They have all had colds. K came home with a cold so of course we all got it then as it was different germs to what we are used to. T still has a cold but hoping it goes in the next day or so. They have been playing out as much as weather permits. today was sleeting/hailing again. we have had so much of that this year. looking forward to warmer weather. :)
We hope to get the front room painted before the weekend and then once K gets the ethernet ports terminated in the front room we can move the computers in their in get the plastering done in the back room and get the curtains up and the office stuff out of the back room and have a proper family/living/dining room. :)
Well I will end with some pictures.
I came into the back room and found T up on the chairs ever so pleased with himself playing with the trains. Grandad had just been here playing with him while I was at the shop and I think that gave him the idea to play again. :)
Grandad and Uncle working on the flooring.
Can you tell my son loves his jam toasts!!!
These were taken awhile ago after our order from Asda arrived. T loves to help with the grocerys! can you guess what he loves doing with them....
Well must finish for now. Will post soon.
