Foraging in France


Well it must be another year on, because we are off to France again. This time not as a fun family and friends (Tanya, Roy and Timmy) but family and .. more family (ish).

We are off to Provence again. It feels like deja Vu... but this time my man and his son are also coming along. OK< so my man came last year to, but the family is growing by one.

Oh, and we've managed to create total and utter consternation by bring a vegetarian child!! Of course when we get there we will be told how much NOT a problem that is, but the multiple emails and phone calls show differently!

Luckily the extra child is a nice distraction for my two, Jem likes the idea of an alternative for her to play with, and Connor likes the fact that there is a boy to goof around with.

I'm not so sure an extra testosterone filled individual is such as great idea, as displayed by the boys ganging up on me and pelting me with Nerf bullets yesterday. I hat to retaliate by pinning them down and tickling them madly, but as there were two of them  and only one of me, I lost badly.

Where's your knight in shining armour when you need one ( actually, he's the pain that bought the bloody nerf guns so I think he's more hindrance that help!) ?

Well, life, as you can see is just as interesting as always, more personalities, more parental issues to deal with, and that's only some of the stuff!  Then there's moving, houses, schools, counties, and still trying to work!!

Hope you have a great time next week, hope the sun shines on us, and hope BP stops that bloody oil spill soon!!
