What's the betting you all jump ship before I get this one typed now I've said that, lol.
Evening all.
Very slow Easter weekend here. Dh managed to pass his horrible lurgy onto me and fortunately felt bad enough about it to wait on me pretty much hand and foot since last Friday. I have used the time to research how best to make his cake (cartoon style bomb complete with red sparkler fuse) and create the clues for the 'mission' the kids are doing at his party. To be honest I am far more worried about ds2's space shuttle cake as I think he's kind of expecting it to be pretty realistic.
The dcs bought me a lovely Thorntons Special Toffee egg iced with Happy Easter Mummy and dh bought me a giant toblerone. Unfortunately this virus has brought with it some sort of horrible spots all through my mouth, even the inside of my lips, so its not much fun eating at the moment.
Ds2 had more Easter eggs than one child could possibly eat in a year and ds1 was given a ridiculous amount of sweets as he has a sensory thing going on with chocolate. Dd had one small chocolate bunny and a cuddly bunny toy. She hasn't eaten the bunny though, as we have a no-chocolate under the age of two rule here (mainly based on my terrible chocolate addiction I have to admit ).
We are having a dreadful time with ds1. He is like a completely different child since going back onto gluten. Far worse than he was even before he came off it originally. Even dh has come to the end of his tether and we are thinking we might have to cancel the test and just take him back off gluten again as soon as the birthday parties are over. I really don't see how he can cope with a whole term at school in his current state. Its impossible to get his attention, he's on a ridiculously short fuse and really upsettingly has lost most of his facial expressions so has this odd deadpan look about him. He's honestly unrecognisable as our lovely boy.
