just another morning here

Today ended with Joe somehow getting chewing gum in his hair, while watching the Phantom Menace. Yes, Josiah. If it had been one of the girls with chewing gum at the ends of their hair I would have just cut it out, but no, it was Joe, with the gum in his fringe. I blame Mr Portico for leaving chewing gum in our car!!

After him trying to pull it out/wash it out with water (I did tell him it wouldn’t work but he wouldn’t listen ) we resorted to google and read that peanut butter, or something similarly oily, would work. Well it was worth a try, so we slathered some on, let it soak in, and then it did comb out fairly well. He lost a bit of hair as well, but nowhere near as bad as having to cut it out. He’s in the bath now

Steve got home safely last night from the WRC in Wales, he had a great time as usual I think. I am slightly peeved that he’s now spending hours watching the coverage on BBC4 but there we go! Here are a few gratuitous photos.

I want one!! (although it really should look shiny white ipod/ibook-esque to be part of my collection ) Perhaps one for Jax and Tim’s series … although I do confess to rather liking the idea of it If you could programme it like those Roma things (do they still have those?) it could even come under ‘educational resources’, couldn’t it?

Today we (the girls and I) have shopped (with a nice coffee/hot chocolate pitstop in there somewhere), baked, and gamed. Oh, and done blog-related fiddling too, watched a film, and then some TV this evening. A friend popped in and sat in the kitchen while I baked, so it was nice to have some adult company as well as spending girly time with Anna & Abbie.

Meanwhile Josiah has spent the day chez Portico, while Steve and Chris went off to some rally or other to take photos of cars. Yawn. I’m expected to enthuse about these after the event, but my favourite one is this one … because I think it’s far more interesting to look at people!
