It's been a BEAUTIFUL sunny day here today - and windy. Perfect 'line drying' weather. (Did I really just write that? I am getting SO old!) There couldn't have been a better day to take this photograph for the Photo Challenge:
Unfortunately the pollen count has also been high, and I'm suffering. No pleasing some people, huh?

The last few days My Boy has been AMAZING. Seriously, Amazing - he has been so incredibly loving, kind, polite, VERY funny, cute and just ... well, wonderful.
I do know that he's a great kid, but during term time he's often tired and grumpy when he's at home, so it's such a lovely surprise to have the old version back. It's making me feel quite excited about the summer holidays which start in 6 weeks - I can't wait to spend more time with him. Little Miss is also crazy about him - she's hugging and kissing him and rubbing his hair whenever she gets the chance.
Like his "tattoo"? |

I have a confession. I think I may be addicted to Modern Family. I don't watch very many TV shows (I listen to a few while I knit/crochet) but this one completely has me hooked. A fabulous cast - so well acted, brilliant script, incredibly well-observed humour, and unlike the terrible British 'family' Sitcoms *groan* there is no annoying canned laughter.
All of the characters are great but I have to say I'm a little fascinated by Phil Dunfee, rather like Peppa Pig's dad, he's a buffoon with a huge heart who really deeply loves his family - but however much I try to sympathise with his character, I find it impossible not to laugh AT him and think he's a bit of an idiot. Maybe this says as much about me as it does the character? (D is equally fascinated by Gloria, but I don't think it's her parenting HE's looking at!!!!!)
Here's the US promo - UK viewers can catch it on Sky 1 and Sky Player.
Righto, I'm off to finish another round on my THIRD Granny Square cushion front while I watch episode 22 and then I must go to bed.
A crafty update to follow tomorrow, I promise!
Nos da xxx
(Goodnight)
Good morning
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about your little boy being grumpy during term time. I guess school is very demanding (especially for boys). He has to be polite, behave well, hold his temper all the time, so it must be a real reliefe to be at home knowing that he can just be and relax, and you love him without any conditions.
We are huge Modern Family fans in this house. I think every single character is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteAs for children and school, it's exactly the same here - I feel I just get 'my' children back and school starts again. I can understand why some folks go down the HE route but it's just not for me.
You are both so right - it must be hard for him - he's still only 4 (one of the youngest in the school) and he loves it and is doing really well there - his reading is coming on brilliantly and he's learning so much - it must be exhausting. And Carole, yes I can completely see why HE would be tempting for some, but for us the benefits of being at school far outweigh the negatives, so it's not for us either.
