A dolling family first

We did it! We finally managed a trip to Ikea where nobody was grumpy, nobody threw a tantrum and nobody asked for everything in sight. We went to the new Ikea, in Edmonton (north london) and amazingly found it without getting lost or having a fight. We also got all the way around the store without too much complaining from anyone. We promised Sam an ice cream at the end-bribery can work wonders! We may have found him a bed, we need to measure up to see if it will fit.
Both birthday parties went well and were lots of fun. Saturday it was matthew's aunt's 60th so it was a big family party. Sam had lots of fun playing with his 2.5yr old step cousin. They were both very well behaved all things considered.

Today's party was lots of fun. His friend samuel's sister turned 2, so all the boys were together to celebrate. Chaos reigned as usual but a good time was had by all.

On the HE front we did some seed planting today-sunflower seeds and science-making playdough. Our project for next week is to make a scrapbook of all sam's holiday pictures. He took 5 rolls on holiday and we have finally got around to getting them developed. It will probably take us all week just to sort them out. We also have to do the flat stanely project for cheryl. we started it last week but didn't get very far. If we don't hurry up the school year in the US will be over.
We do have a fairly busy week ahead, going to the movies, having friends to tea, going to wickstead, visiting James and our muddlepuddle group.
