Ronan’s Attitude

I have the boys change out of their school uniforms as soon as they get home so that everything they need for the next day goes exactly where it needs to be. I dislike searching for missing items. Ronan A Aherin comes back in wearing the white shirt and tie you see in our 2012 family photo. I sighed and asked him why he decided to wear that and not get into his warm pyjamas. This was his response with a teenager boy attitude, “I just wanted to look cute mum! Can’t I look cute?! Fine I will just go back and change!” Before he could storm off, I gave in and I told him he could look cute.

Playground and Accents

Ronan is doing his best to do his reading homework in an English accent. I’m listening trying not to giggle too loud so he figures out I’m listening and stops. I love when the boys slip into an accent without realizing it and when they imitate words they hear classmates and teachers say at school. It is too cute. xx 

Going back to Brunette

I come home and my youngest son exclaims, “Mummy the red in your hair is gone.” If my 4 year old can already tell if I’ve changed my hair, than I know he is going to make a great partner to some lucky lady in the future.
Hair colour to go back to brunette. Ginger was fun, but time for something new.  
With my beautiful long brown hair I feel pretty again.

Happy New Years!

It is January first of 2012 and we start a brand new year!  Happy New Years to all our friends and family!  Our family looks forward to a new year in England and all that 2012 has in store for us.  This morning we got dressed and headed outside to do our family portraits for 2012.  Sadly just as we got the tripod set it England met us with a downpour of rain.  Despite the quick shoot below is our family photo and I really love how it turned out.  After our shoot we had breakfast in town and then stopped at the beloved game store for some New Years treats.  I believe we will have some black eyed peas for dinner.  I hope everyone has a wonderful new years and that you keep to your resolutions for a successful and productive 12 months ahead.
