**Opps I forgot to publish this at the time**
Around here we are all sick. I've had four days at home. Doodle has had six days off school and Poppins has an ear infection. In both ears! We are snot machines. A lot of coughing can be heard through the night.
Around here we are closing on the sale of my Dad's house in two days. It's been a long drawn out process for a sale that should have been straight forward. It will be a relief not to worry about it and sad to say goodbye.
Around here Poppins is enjoying Cbeebies Peter Rabbit, Swashbuckle and Sarah and Duck. He will raise his hand to his head for the Swashbuckle Cheer.
Swashbuckle Cheer
Put your hand on your heart
Eye patch (eye patch)
Captains hat (captains hat)
Swashbuckle cheer
Ahoy!
Around here Doodle has discovered the TV and DVD player in our bedroom and has happy found peace and quiet to play with Turtles and Trashies and watch his favourite DVDs (Scoobie Doo, Lego, Star Wars - the snow one).
Around here I am patiently waiting on a new niece or nephew (1 week overdue and counting).
Around here I joined the Stephanie Howell book appreciation society (or so it seems) and read Mary Kay Andrew's Savannah Blues, Savannah Breeze and Jojo Moyes.

Around Here | 22 January 2014
Inspired (aka downright copied) from Ali Edwards post Around Here...
Around here Jack learned a Scottish poem and recited it in class. He was given a certificate at school and was rewarded with Freddo Faces (a new favourite) and a new addition to his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle family - the Kraang.
The poem
My wee doggie
does lots of tricks,
Fetches the paper,
Brings back sticks.
Chases aw the craws,
That steal the hen’s feed,
Lowps through a gird,
kids he’s deid.
Sits on his hunkers,
Gies a paw,
Then he gets a bane to gnaw.
Around here Noah is talking. He says 'yeah' for yes and shakes his head for no. He gets excited about bath time and brushing his teeth. He climbs on everything, furniture, people... he can climb the ladders of Jack's cabin bed. He will launch himself right over you if you are sitting quietly on the sofa.
Around here Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are Jack's favourite toy. Noah's go to toy is his VTech Garage but he doesn't show a whole lot of interest in it.
Around here the boys watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rise of the Turtles and Despicable Me 2 on a loop. Noah laughs at the funny bits. Jack plays it cooler. They love the music and Ian made them a 'mix-tape' for the car. The playlist includes several songs from the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack, Calvin Harris - Feel so Close (which is Jack's school song), Julie Fowlis - Touch the Sky (which was Jack's tidy-up song at nursery), The Lumineers - Hey Ho, Psy - Gangham Style (Jack's all time favourite song) and David Guetta - Where them girls at (Noah's personal favourite). I listen to it on the way to work.
Around here I'm reading Every Last One by Anna Quindlen. It's taken me a few days to get into the characters as there seemed to be so many I couldn't keep track. I just finished reading Erica James' A Breath of Fresh Air. I liked it but didn't love it. I thought it was obvious what was going to happen from the very beginning. There was one small twist that I didn't see coming.
