A quick post about the kids. It has been a good weekend with them. They were away for a few days as my wife took them to her parents-in-law. It was great having time to have a drink when I got home (I ran out of beer so drank some cider instead. Hmm... Cider...
Anyway, back to the wife and kids. It has been great having them at home again. Yesterday both the kids spent as much time climbing on me as much as possible. And today they were taken to see the Smurf's. My wife unfortunately has not been 100%. She had to spend the last few nights sleeping with the kids for one reason or another. And that meant that she did not get enough sleep. So this morning, I took the kids out for a walk. I have not taken them out for one in a while, and we used to walk down to the sweet shop a lot. Well, it is the newsagent, but they know it as the sweet shop, afterall, what interest do they have in newspapers? Afterwards, I told them I wanted to buy a book, so we went into town. And passing the cinema, my (three year old) son asked if we could go in to watch a film. As that was my plan anyway, I agreed. And my daughter asked if we could watch the Smurf's. Watching the film suited my wife, who hated them in the past, as when the kids and I watched it, she was not there. Well, the kids loved it. They did get scared, but luckily there were only four other people in the cinema when my son screamed
One thing that they did do in the morning, was to let me watch the highlights of the Arsenal game. My son did chant Arsenal, in sympathy with me. But I did wake my wife up when I was watching it. I may have yelled out when Gervinho was sent off. To be fair to the ref, he did deserve to be sent off. Barton did deserve to be sent off as well, but when Song stamped on Barton earlier, we should have been down to ten men by then. So we were lucky to get a point really. While the season may not look too good, I am still hopeful that we can win the title.
Anyway, take care all...
