IT LIVES!!! IT LIVES!!!

Imagine my surprise when (after ranting about how I couldn't even get triops to appear) I saw a flash of movement from the bowl last night! In fact, TWO FLASHES OF MOVEMENT!

Sadly, NOT Triops. Actually Fairy Shrimp.

But hey, still a triumph, right?! Maternal honour has been restored!

Meet the mad house...

I’m not going to use real names here, and I just want to reasure people that these are nicknames - I did not name my children this for real!

Saurus - born 27/1/97, therefore currently 12, he’s football mad and could kick a ball pretty much as soon as he could walk. Has very blue eyes like his father’s, though his blond curls are now brown and wavy - when he lets it grow. He generally likes his hair short and spiky. Usually to be found with his nose in a book when not kicking something or welded to his PSP.

Roo - born 8/1/01, therefore currently 8. Eyes that can’t quite make their mind up whether they’re green or brown, so generally settle for hazel. Hair was never as curly - it just curled up at the edges when he was 2ish, so that he looked like a honey blond x-wing! It’s a reddy brown now and straightish and looks awesomely retro when he lets it grow. Obsessed with building things, climbing and anything arty or crafty, and loves nature, animals, bugs etc.

Wiggle (also known as Wig or Mr Wiggins) - born 21/9/03 so currently 6, very blue eyes and golden curly hair - a real heart breaker! Obsessed with cricket - was the youngest ever member of the local cricket club at 2, he’d actually been playing at home for about a year already - and karate - again was the youngest memeber at the club at 2, after begging to join in with his brothers and doing the whole class at home, over and over, and is now a green belt. Is currently planning to take up horse riding. Loves lego and can construct sets well above his age level.

Fluff (also known as Fluffkin) - born 27/12/05 so currently 3. Hazely brown eyes, soft brown hair which is INCREDIBLY curly, nearly an afro except it’s too soft in texture. Anything his older brothers do/have, he is convinced he should do or have! Is really articulate and very handy with his brother's lego. Completely obsessed with trains.

Petal (also known as Madam) - born 28/8/07 so currently 2. Having always sworn that any daughter of mine would NEVER be called Petal, Precious or Princess, she naturally quickly became the Precious Petal Princess. More often, she is ‘oooo’ Power Petal! Or Poopy Petal, which is even more often appropriate. No longer needs a stool to climb everywhere :-(

Last but definitely not least -

Papacrow. As bonkers and sexy as he was when we first met 14 years ago - more so in fact!
