Things I've learnt recently

What I've learnt recently...
* Chris and I are pretty much the only people I know NOT celebrating Valentines Day. Hahaha I honestly think it is over-rated and NO this isn't cos I didn't get a valentine from him! It's our wedding anniversary soon, we'll celebrate then.
* I wear waaaaay too much black. Thanks Sally Anne Moffat!! Next time I can afford to go shopping, I am going bright colours all the way!! Heck, I may even try purple again.
* Men definitely DO have periods but they are always without rhyme nor reason!! And you can't map them on a calendar... unfortunately.
* The good old fashioned 2 container disciplining method does work!! We are using two plastic see through containers to help James and US! There is one container with "good behaviour" marbles in it and one for "unacceptable behaviour" marbles. The marbles move around according to behaviour and once he has all the marbles in the good jar, he gets a very exciting outing or treat. So far so good .... touch wood.
* Some dog owners never pick up their poos around here. Gosh it drives me crazy, it is not that hard guys - just take a plastic bag out with you when you go walking.
* Oh look Briscoes are having a sale. AGAIN.
* Watching our children dance makes the Chipmunks CD bearable. Just. See photos below and yes James is "playing" his cricket bat!
Have a super week everyone!! xx
