Day 18!

Today once again started early. Liam and Tom were both up at 6:15. YUCK! We tried to entertain the kids inside all morning because every time we tried to go somewhere, it started to pour down with rain. We would no sooner get every one's shoes on, open the door, and there it was again....rain. Finally, after letting them swim in the little paddling pool while the rain was coming down, playing play dough, painting and playing with cars and trains, we just decided to go for it!

We headed out to the train station to go one stop up. We wanted to take the kids to a row of pet stores so that they could see all the animals. We made it about half way to the train and then wouldn't you know it.....a black cloud appears out of no where and we got drenched!!!! It was fun all the while though and the kids had fun. I will say that life would be a little easier over here if i could drive. Oh well, maybe next time!

Tonight, we went to a farm that was having an "open house". It was brilliant!! It had an indoor soft play with massive slides, which were loads of fun, horse races, sheep races, and the kids all got to hold a guinea pig. On the way out they each got a balloon and stuffed pony. Tonight made up for the lousy day!!

On a side note, my kids are all now saying, buggy for stroller, nappy for diaper, boot for trunk, and biscuit for cookie. I am sure there are more, but that is what i can remember at this point in time. It is amazing how quickly they just adapt to a new culture. I knew this and recognized it from bringing the boys home, but even today, my sister n law Sarah asked Liam if he wanted water. Liam repeated he did and said "water" with a British accent. too cute!! off to bed now. I am praying that i get to sleep in a bit later in the morning, but i doubt it:0)
