The Ice Cream Kids' life

Giorgia starts school

2009-09-07T04:31:00.000-07:00

It's a big day in our house today, Giorgia is coming to my school and I am going into yr 1. That's really grown up!! Much sniffling from mummy again!

last week of the hols!

2009-08-31T10:00:00.001-07:00

Well, we have arrived at our last week of the summer hols, Giorgia will start school this time next week. We went with Granny and Grandad to Centre parks in Longleat, very tiring week! Lots of good old British rain and chips. But nice to see the folks and I think they may agree not to visit Longleat again in summer hols. Then Mummy and Daddy went a little bit retro for a party, v scary. Then we went to see Peter Pan in London, wow, that was cool. Carnival weekend and we went to the museums!!

2009-08-31T09:58:00.001-07:00

Here is our annual bbq for the ante natal group, some new faces and some new bumps!

Few more photos of our summer hols, went to Cadbury world and also to see Robin Hood.

Mallorca 09

2009-08-15T15:32:00.000-07:00

Went away with some friends to their in laws in Mallorca, luckily avoided the bombs.
We had two other lots of friends out there at the same time too, so had a great time catching up with everyone and driving round cliff tops, mummy whispering hail marys as we went.Daddy had to work.Can you guess who wasn't having fun?!

work...

2009-08-15T15:26:00.000-07:00

Well, she stayed! Mummy has passed her exam and is now doing another one. But meantime has set up the bookkeeping business and got some clients, so now Daddy has said she can have the shop front under the factory office for the ice cream parlour, so stand by for mama's sundaes in the new year! Giorgia is practising for her first ballet and tap show! can't wait for that one and we have both joined the tennis club, the coach has asked Mummy if I can play in the after school group as he thinks I am quite good, haven't managed to get Giorgia to stay for a whole session yet as she gets too shy.

Mum's been having fun

2009-08-15T15:20:00.000-07:00

Mummy's been out having fun too and says she is leaving Daddy for Garry, or Mark, or Jason, or the other one....

2009-08-15T15:07:00.000-07:00

Summer looming means SPORTS DAY, I love it, bring it on. Not that we are competitive in our family but I Will NOT lose. Won the sprint, won the sack race then dragged my partner over the line in the 3 legged race!!! Poor chap dared to fall, as any 5 yr old may. Then remembered, as his head bumped along the grass, who he was tied to. Was quite funny. Started football and got picked for school team, played in a match and was told it was carnage, great!! ( ps They lost 12 nil- mum)

Birthdays bah humbug

2009-08-15T14:49:00.000-07:00

Daddy arranged a surprise birthday party for Mummy at someone else's house and we all got to go. I don't quite know how old that makes her now, she says 21 again. She seems to forget that I now know how to add up, luckily I also know not to mention it, however Daddy is also now in the OAP bracket so we did get a trip to Granny and grandads out of it while they all went to Rome. There was the Blonde's parents, Ben's Parents, Jamie and Chloe's Parents and Harrison's parents. Do they not know any of their own friends???

Winter

2009-08-15T14:41:00.001-07:00

Then It got cold, really cold and Mummy got grumpy. People spoke about ice ages and big birthdays and ....... Mummy snapped and finally admitted to having the occasional birthday, or 40!!!!

Hey we're back!!

2009-08-15T14:33:00.000-07:00

Hi folks and may I apologise on my mother's behalf. No posts for sooo long, you won't recognise us. Where to start.... well, most importantly, with me. I had another birthday, that makes 5 now. Nearly catching up with Grandad. We had a surf party, I am a dude. Here am I with my best buddy Ben.

Holidays

2008-10-27T13:35:00.000-07:00

Holidays, there have been a few this year!! There was the idyllic French trip with the blonde and her family: Sun, swimming, good food, good wine, an absolute ball, then all that excercise and Shandy at Centre parcs. As if that wasn't enough mum drove us to Devon to stay with Granny and Grandad, no wonder we look so tired. then there are all the dress up parties and mumupmanship on the costumes, nothing less than 1st prize will do. Giorgia just wants to wear her housework clothes!

2008-10-27T13:22:00.000-07:00

Hey, we are getting on with stuff now all right! Giorgia is 3 and I am at big school! where does the time go? Won't be long before we have to start looking for the smoking sheds and that pub is on the way home from school! look at me on my 1st day, wobbly or wot!

Easter in Eastcote

2008-03-28T07:33:00.000-07:00

I don't think it is supposed to look like this. This easter we had snow, The usual reeeally long walks with friends, oh and I got married to India so The Blonde is not very happy with me, but this year, we also had CHOCOLATE!!

Diary of 4and half yr olds half term

2008-03-28T07:19:00.001-07:00

Drove mother mad, asking why it was too cold to go out. Drove mother further up wall, asking why it was now too windy. Went to farm shop, drove Jessica's mother up same wall, asking why we grow turnips. Went to see Big Ben. Why is he so big? Why is he called Ben? Went to another farm, saw real witches house. Why wasn't she in? Taught Giorgia to say "whyyyyy" in longest tone possible. Had shouting competition; Giorgia 9, Dino 11. Back to pre- school, need some answers.

2008-01-31T14:22:00.000-08:00

ok ok I am sorry, I know I haven't been around but there's a lot going on in a young lad's life at this time of year you know. so, what have you missed? Well, there was christmas, I was the angel Gabriel in my nursery nativity. Don't mind saying that I was actually quite good, delivered the baby, woke up the sheperds, looked fab in my costume(thanks mum), all in a day's work eh? Then had a million and one social engagements to attend, pretty near as many parties as the red suited guy himself, was a bit fed up with party rings and hula hoops by the time the big day came and luckily there was a bit more on offer at ours. Santa duly came and delivered, despite what mum and dad said.( How could he not deliver to the Angel G? more than his job's worth) Then it was New Year and we had our usual all nighter at The Blonde's house. I even got to share a room with Dodi this year, mind you, so did Sophie and Giorgia so it was quite cosy. Mum and Dad didn't take photo's this year but Dad was very poorly so I think there may have been a virus? Before you know it, it's my birthday and here am I, FOUR years old! Had a fab party, and as you can see, Giorgia had to make do with a Hula hoop knuckle duster and Dad embarrassed The Blonde. It starts so early. Anyway, hols soon ended, (not soon enough for some) and it was back to pre-school, taking my little twister with me this time. It would seem that my sanctuary is over as she now attends my pre- school most days with me. Must be time for another holiday soon. Will keep you posted. X

Newquay

2007-10-18T06:44:00.000-07:00

We had great fun in Newquay, although we seem to have found our theme for this year's holidays... rain. It was here too. May have to venture abroad for next year, think we may have done our bit for the environment , next year bring on global warming, we are freezing! Took all our pals with us on this hol, tho and that was entertaining. Mummy says Newquay is still the same as ever it was in the 40's or whenever she was young. But luckily we didn't brave the thrills of the caravan park but stayed in a very nice pad on the sea front. V windy, but then Dad always is. Anyway we are home now and time to crack on with the school work. Just christmas to look forward to now, and Santa beware, I am compiling a very tasty list for you in my best new writing.

Summer hols are fab when u r 3

2007-08-30T08:25:00.000-07:00

Hi all, sorry it's been a while but it's the holidays!! I finished my first term at pre-school so am now officially BIG. We have spent the holidays just playing like mad. We had a teddy bears picnic and Giorgia was a teddy bear but I was a tiger cos that's so much harder. Mummy is getting to know the sewing machine so I fear that I may be 'the home made kid' soon. We went on quite a few picnics till we learnt a few tricks, like 'Giorgia-nick-the-ball-game'and 'rumble', a personal favourite of mine, as seen in pics, smallest kid gets squashed by all present.Not been on so many since that one... Still, we did get to brave the perils of THAT theme park again. Mummy wouldn't let us on the rollercoaster this time tho' so Daddy challenged us to Moon buggy races. Seems he is a bit too competitive for my liking. We have had fun and we are going on holiday soon with all our mates for a week so will be sure and get you some publishable pics from there! Love to all and Luca tell your Daddy to sort your blog we miss you! XXX

Giorgia's 2nd birthday party

2007-07-21T00:45:00.000-07:00

As promised, the photo's of Giorgia's birthday party. She waas a princess! Sorry they are a bit weird but we had a photographer take some fab shots and so we took none, these are off the contact sheet, tried to find one without 'the naughty one' in them but he seems to get in everywhere, still I suppose that will change when the big kids get hold of him. Ah the dreams. Anyway, been really ill this past two weeks so have got some serious trouble to cause to make up for it, oh and Giorgia looks like she might get a rollicking, just weed on the carpet, this I've got to see. Speak to you all soon.

End of an Era

2007-07-12T06:04:00.000-07:00

Well, it's official, Granny and Grandad are definitely moving. Their house is sold and they are off to Exeter. Mum has tried to shoehorn as much of their junk into our house as possible but our own junk is fighting back and I fear there may be another extension on the cards. Obviously THE most important part about all this is we won't be able to swim in their pool any more and riding my tractor round the car at Eastcote just isn't the same as ploughing Grandad's lawn. Still, in other news, Giorgia had a birthday so she is really big now. Photo's to follow but it was great fun. We had a very pink party and she had all her girly friends over, I was allowed a few naughty ones of my own too. Daddy made fire and made ug noises around the drinks fridge and we had a tent to keep off the torrential rain and force 9 gales because Mummy didn't want us to eat inside. Really it was fun though!

RUNAWAY TRAIN

2007-06-28T02:35:00.000-07:00

We went to a theme park recently, which the olds say has to remain nameless. Went on a fab rollercoaster and guess what? It crashed! Well got stuck anyway. There were people running around everywhere, pannicking and then, most amazing of all.. We got rescued by, not one but THREE fire engines! All sirens and flashing lights!! Great fun, can't understand why mummy was upset? ((ps Kevin.. How very dare you!))

Isle of Wight

2007-06-28T02:20:00.000-07:00

Not content with the French rain, we decided it would be a grand idea to test the weather on another island. This did prove to be a little more succesful. we stayed at Wendy's house but I didn't see Peter Pan anywhere. we did, however have the most fab beds. Mine was way up high and had a ladder and Giorgia slept underneath me, great for spitting competitions. we buried daddy on the beach, under Mummy's strict instructions. Mummy and Daddy stayed up very late to watch the badgers in the bar...I don't really get that one but they seemed happy. we also got sent down the biggest slide in the world, mummy said that's what Grandad did to her and so we had to do it too! Fun !

puto dies

2007-05-16T11:43:00.000-07:00

I know, I know, haven't been around again. Well, it's been a real rough one for us this week, mum has finally lost her grip.(some work/computer problem, which meant she lost 2 months work and had to re-do the lot, apparently)Doesn't she know how disturbing it might be for a boy of such tender years to have to watch his mater begging and crying and offering strange prayers, (and even chocolate one VERY late night) to an inanimate object and Dad wasn't able to help anyway.
we tried to be helpful, Giorgia made a lovely tomato pasta picture on the lounge floor and I did a fabulous mural on the loo wall, but to no avail. A bottle or two of that funny red stuff later and she seems to have sorted it out.I think the 'puto' may need some serious sellotape and loo rolls to get it looking like it used to tho'.

Disney

2007-04-27T02:15:00.000-07:00

Well it's February and the olds decided we had been working so hard we needed a break so they took us to Mickey mouse's House. He's got a wicked castle with all these rides on it, but it rained... and rained! So it was a wet castle and some wet rides and lots of stops in warm rooms that were full of grown ups drinking pop. Then Daddy found the Buzz light year ride and that was it really for the afternoon. Mummy said it was just the sugar in the pop and that he perhaps shouldn't have any more. But after her 3rd chocolate cake daddy said we should all walk round Fantasy land again, just in case.

I am 3

2007-03-05T13:45:00.000-08:00

It's official, I am now 3, I had extra mud on my cake and everything.We had a family birthday and an official birthday. It was fab. Mum made my cake for the family tea which was attended by a contingent from both sides of the family and then I had a proper one from Hullabaloo with all my friends. Unfortunately the official photographer seems to have been missing that day.

Christmas

2007-03-05T13:11:00.001-08:00

So this is Christmas! And what have we done............. we ate loads, went to the theatre to see julian Clary as a fairy and had tons of presents. Cloggies came over loads a fun. then we all fell asleep.

2007-03-05T12:37:00.000-08:00

Well, here we are, it's nearly christmas and instead of tons of presents and some fat bloke with reindeer like the old folks promised, we get the baby and virgin mother story. Our mothers had to make our costumes and mine wonders why I just wanted to sit quietly at the back and nervously chew my nails, I was the Vivien westwood of Inn keepers. Never mind, I could have been a star and got permanent coathanger injuries (Or been the Julian Clary of stars, hmm always next year)

2007-01-05T13:17:00.000-08:00

New Year was just the coolest ever! we went to stay at my girlfriend's ( the Blonde) Mummy and Daddy were not very well on New Year's day, in fact none of the adults wanted to get up and play with us at six. There was lots of mess downstairs too!So, after cleaning up, We all ended up going for a long old walk, Then when we came back they all got up, we cooked them lunch and took them to the pub to refill. Aah the year has begun well.

2006-11-09T06:24:00.000-08:00

Hey, we got a new address, Mum says aol not good, new blog required. Couldn't get words onto the old one, we kept getting cut off. So now need to get a link to my new cousin's blog, he looks cool. Better not get any ideas about being the big guy tho', that's my job. I am asserting myself at the moment, people keep saying it's my age but it's not, I actually like being naughty. My sister is starting to talk, not a good sign, but luca is coming at christmas and she can sort her out. Mum says we get to go see Farmer Christmas, apparently that's a good thing. An yway, can't stop got friends coming over to make biscuits, talk soon.
