advent

And this weekend is the start of Advent it is a time where we light a few candles and at the end someone puts the baby in the nativity scene (we catholics put the baby in after it is born, not before like others). Ahh the ignorant bliss i can sit back, stand when told, sit when told, kneel when told, kiss the ring and go home. Right... wrong, you see there is a little thing called Gods plan and what was gods plan? well so far it's meet a hot chick, hot chick gets pregant, children come along and children ask questions. Now the grandparents say that it is so much easier now days, back in our day... blah blah... whinge whinge.. You see you have it easy, all you have to do is google and all the answers are there at your finger tips. And so there 2 coloring sheets were found, so we could start teaching about advent, there are 4 candles and the white one but that does not count till the end. Three are purple, one is pink, the white one which goes in the middle on the 25 dec, this goes around a green wreath. Two purple are lit first, then the pink one on the 3rd week and the final purple one on the 4 week. The white one gets lit on the 25 of december to signify the birth, each candle has a meaning that you are too focus on each week. I would tell you what these were as they were printed on the candles to be coloured in, the problem is it was turned into a paper airoplane and number 2 hid has relocated it to a top secret loction only known to itself, that even james bond may struggle finding. But if you want to know what the meanings are google it.
p.s. we don't kiss the ring anymore, apparently things like coldsores and hep b can remain on the surface of the ring and this is why we don't kiss it. I do not find that one on google by the way, it was told tome by a bishop.

the bee

last Saturday our no1 child performed in her first performance i would say half the island was there to watch the kids preform i knew most of the people there i nearly missed it though lucky they were late starting it must have been a site with me running down the road at 5pm with a baby strapped to my front we both got there at 535pm i would have to say i did not recognise my own child with all the gear on my other half had to point out who my no1 child was how sad for me and that was after the performance when we got home we asked no1 child what was the best part the applause and the bowing at the end maybe a diva in the making let me tell you i will not be making any trips other then to Australia over seas to watch her get a gong like some other brave soles we know

connextions

we recently went on a trip down south to visit family and old friends it was nice to catch up with people that we have not seen for a while it was also good to get off the island and visit Australia taking the kids to the zoo and into town to see the big city and out to the bush and beach of our former home down there took some pics of heads to show liddy what i am talking about sadly it was not displaying its might on that day and looked rather still which will weaken my argument on mother nature fury interesting times were also had at work in my absent and i now thing others now have a understanding of what i do in there so now at least i am ready to be run into the ground again just in time for Xmas yea
