Getting school shoes for Isaac at the first shop, the first pair he tried and in the sale too - very big smile!
Being 'scared' by the little trick or treaters.

I've accepted that autumn has arrived and changed over the clothes in my wardrobe today. Winter clothes take up so much more room, don't they? Still, glad to be reunited with some warm favourites and pleased that they mostly still fit although getting into my teal jeans was a laugh! It also means that hats are back - hurrah!
Going to a funeral is never easy but when you've never been somewhere before there is always potential for incident. Isaac shared in the bafflement at Yardley Crematorium as we tried to work out where we were supposed to park (it seemed to be a case of abandon your car on the road wherever you wanted) and then in my bewilderment as I went out a different gate and we found ourselves on a mystery tour of the area, taking in the sights of Small Heath before GoogleMaps finally decided to help!
Finding new smileys on Facebook made me smile too as did the battle of the smileys in which Isaac and I engaged (Jude is still a month too young to join in) Isaac's were prominently football related so I claim the moral victory due to variety although Isaac wins for best comeback:

Another half term day and another round of errands and family taxi duties.
Jude's enjoying being Scuba Stevens at holiday club - he's looking forward to 'shark attack' tomorrow.
And on his return he and Isaac seem to be having a series of half term games challenges; it's funny listening to them from another room.
John decided we'd go out to dinner - delicious albeit tricky going as half my mouth was frozen!
The dentist did not make me smile although looking in my mouth and seeing that his idea of a temporary fix seems to be a lump of chewing gum might have amused me if I weren't in pain!

I like this Monday better than last Monday!
Work stuff finally tidy (although still plenty to do!)
Fun trip to The Fort with the boys.
Wrote a blog post.
Only Connect night :)
Read survey responses from staff at school - apparently I'm a Spanish superstar ;) So I now want this cushion!

Happy Sunday tweeted @Snoopy.
I ran a race this morning. A combination of wind, deep mud, tree roots and stones and several steep sandy hills all made it hard going but ensured a big smile after I finished the race. I was particularly pleased with how I ran up the final hill to the finish - a cruel way to end a race I think. Although not as bad as the steps I faced at the end if the Hegichauslauf! Isaac and his love of 'burst mode' made me smile too as did Jude 'the lookout' who was actually the last to see me coming!
This afternoon I drove John to the airport, had coffee with the boys and bought Jude some Hawaiian board shorts.
Back home, we watched SCD and then Hugo which took me back to ISW and listening to Mr Andrews reading it to Grade 3. I never did get to hear all of it! But thinking back to my time in the library made me smile!

My boys make me smile! I'm so glad they get on so well (mostly!) They make me laugh too, not least when one manages to 'stealth hug' the other.
A family trip to Dovedale for tea and cake at Ilam and a walk up Thorpe Cloud. Well, more of a muddy scramble.
And a beautiful double rainbow too.
And I get an extra hour in bed tomorrow. Hurrah!
