Wouldn't it be ironic if you died in the living room?

Afternoon all.  I am moonlighting to get some extra dosh to cover the crash of my pay cut.
But, I got to spend the morning with the kids.  Last night, I went out for a drink with two friends.  I suspect that I may have said things that I should not though!  Anyway, on getting back, I passed out and woke up, wimp that I am when it comes to booze, a bit worse for wear.  Now to be fair, it was self inflicted.  And the kids, who normally sense weakness on my part, and exploit it to the full we actually nice.  Not just to me, but too each other.  I would like to think that it was down to me not resorting to a default position of yelling at them, but rather encouraging them.  But I suspect it was luck, and the fact that at heart, they are both nice kids.

I also took them out for a walk.  It had been raining, and so I got them in wellies, so that they could jump in puddles.  And the moron that I am, I forgot to put my sons jeans inside the wellies!  But to be fair, my daughter, who was wearing leggings, had hers soaked with all the water they both jumped in.  

My wife was concerned that my son might be colour blind.  Today I was able to prove her wrong!  Through the use of M&M's I was able to feed him them, everytime he got one of the colours right.  It is amazing how quickly he learns when food is put in front of him!


Anyway, time to go.  And if you are interested in a proper blog on bringing up kids, try this link.  I liked it!
