want life to stay forever now!!!!
Izzy had her school welcome meeting today, OMG, took all my strength not to cry! Then on this same gorgeous sunny day, I was waking thru the strawberry garden and saw the outline I drew of Ozzy and Izzy when we moved in 3 yrs ago. Izzy was 1 and Ozzy was 5 and for some reason, in my head, that is the age they are stuck somehow. Iz walked past and I realised how much she had grown. I realised today that I don't want her to go to school and I don't want either to grow up. I realised I want to stop all the clocks and life stay JUST how it is... FOREVER NOW, this is my heaven!

We had a LOVELY SUNNY Bank holiday weekend... Not often you'll hear all those words together in a sentence! But it has actually been a glorious blue sky, sunny day.
Oz & Iz have been riding on there bikes, we had a lovely outdoor party with the neighbours and today water fights and a barbecue. How funny it is then that Oscar's favourite part of this weekend, was half an hour when Oz and I went to the local park, where he climbed a tree and I showed him how to make daisy chains. It makes you realise that sometimes, it really is the simple things in life.

Homework, test in common sense!
Keeping in mind Oscar is in year 3 and officially a year ahead in his academic attainment, here is a recent homework he was set and his hilarious answers:
Homework: You are on an Island with lots of trees, you have books, clothes in a bag, some bananas, some rope and a saw... How do you escape??
Oscar's answers (hard not to laugh as I write this) : Ozzy "I would used the saw as a paddle. Use the bag of clothes as a bed."
Me: What about the trees? Oscar: "I would take the bark off the trees, for clothes" (I am crying with laughter now!)
Me: What about the books? Oscar: "I'd wear the books on my head, to keep the sun off, because it would be hot."
Me: What about the bananas? Oscar: "I would use them to make a raft!"
Needless to say, this was another piece of homework that needed steering! They really ought to have a session a week to teach common sense!!

children's strange fads
What is it with children, they always have something they can not be parted with!
With my son it was his muslin, then named snoopy, after he lost it in Italy and I was frantically describing it to the hotel receptionist and she finally said (Italian accent) "Ah yeees... a SNOOOOPY" I thought then for years that in Italy, muslins were called Snoopys, until I made friends with an Italian girl who gave me a strange look when I said Oscar had learned the italian word for muslin and that it was snoopy. We later realised the hotel receptionist was actually just referencing Linus (snoopy's blanket carrying friend) and that it had all got lost in translation!
Anyhow Ozzy went "nowhere" without his snoopy, until he was 4. Me? Apparently everywhere I went I found a stick and took it with me.
Izzy however seems to be finding it hard to part with her addiction. She 'has' to wear an old pair of broken, orange, bob the builder goggles, that used to belong to Oscar, no matter where she is or who she is with. She has no sense of our horror, as we trail her around Sainsburys or M&S, as she wears the said goggles! She loves them and obviously feels like they are, for some reason? part of her being!! Anyhow, here are a few pics of Iz wearing her goggles over the years!

| Goggles first started at the age of 2! Note missing perspex! |
 |
| Goggles still going strong, age 3! |
 |
| No Jubilee party is complete without said goggles! |
 |
| Breakfast, with goggles AND sunglasses, thinking of straying from the orange eyewear!?? |
 |
| The Orange goggles triumph, Izzy age 4 in M&S, sporting the now famous broken orange goggles!
I have to say I have visions of her wearing these on her first day of school, or worse a first date, or in jobs interviews!
