Randomness
This is just kind of a random update on what is going on in our lives. Our weekends are full of adventures, but our weeks, ehh, not so much. Work, school, sleep. Our little Bean is fitting right in at school, she sounds like a British girl and has a birthday party invitation for this Saturday. She is very excited to go. She has met several friends and talks about them all the time (Hollie, Evie, Isabella and James). They are wearing their summer uniforms at school now and she still does not quite realize yet that she has to go to school until mid-July. Gerbie is doing very well at nursery school. She comes home every day talking about the new songs she is learning, which by the way are odd songs to teach toddlers. Songs about crushing up bumble bee's and licking them off her hands and about little bunny FooFoo bopping field mice on the head. I know both of these songs, but I am pretty sure I learned them in elementary school on the playground, not in nursery school at age 2. She also loves Crumpet, the bunny at their school and she LOVES playing outside. They go outside even it if it is raining, wearing their wellies (rain boots) and raincoats. Well, I guess if they didn’t go outside when it was raining they would hardly ever go outside at all. And she also enjoys tea time, which by the way, does not involve drinking tea. Tea time is also what they call a light meal or snack time in the afternoon in England. Some other random things...today is turning out to be the warmest day that we have had since we moved here. The temperature is 20 degrees! Woohoo. That would be 68 degrees F. I am finally starting to think of temperature in Celsius now, which makes it easier when checking weather online. I do have google conversions up on my computer almost all the time, especially while I am cooking, since my oven is Celsius. Some other random things….I actually used the word knackered (exhausted) in conversation the other day without thinking about it and hubby used the term quid (slang for pound or dollar), we found a Poundland which cracks me up for some reason (dollar store) and I still hate driving here – but oh yes, I still love online grocery shopping. I warned you this post was going to be random.
