Wow has it really been 3 months

WOW has it really been nearly 3 months since I have been on here. I am such a slacker. But here goes on a a quick catch up.

We have had Halloween. Which was great fun as we are finally starting to get into it in this country. All the kids did their own pumpkins which were put out on the balcony. However when we came home from church well over a week later Phoebe suddenly anounced "Where's my pumpkin?" I was so shocked that she hadn't noticed that they had been thrown out nearly a week ago I just blurted out "It's in the bin" Looking back this might have been a mistake and I maybe should have been a bit more sensitive. She came in the house cried for nearly an hour and then phoned my parents and told them all about it. She really is too sensitive.

We have had bonfire night which was great. We went to West Park with Spencer's sister's and although it was pouring with rain the fireworks were amazing.

(Sorry Tres I know you hate this picture but I love it)

However the evening didn't end to well. As we were all COVERED in mud, when we walked in the door I got everyone to get changed and give me their coats and trousers to wash straight away. About half and hour later Spence said "Susie have you seen my phone?" How was I to know that he had some secret pocket in his coat where he kept his phone. He was very good about it but that's the last time I try and be a good organized house wife :(
