Well as you can see by my lack of updates and moans about the world I have escaped the ship and am now back on leave. I feel shattered already and have only been home 10 days. The little ones have been up every night so it is hard to get a full nights sleep. I really don't know how Debbie has managed to stay sane for the last four months what with lack of sleep and daily bouts of Cbeebies.
This weekend we took the little ones to the Zoo to see the animals and Santa. On arrival we walked around in circles trying to find the big cats. The tigers hid at the back of the enclosure but the lions came right up close which was great. Little Elizabeth got all excited pointing at them and started going 'eow' as she hasn't quite got the M for meow yet.
Most of the animals were hiding away as it was a bit cold but we did see some of the apes around which always give good pictures.
After having a look at the animals we took the little ones to see Santa. We had hoped to get some pictures of the little ones with Santa as last year Elizabeth burst into tears. Unfortunately when we went into into Santa's grotto this year Elizabeth took one look at Santa, Screamed and ran out of the Grotto in tears so no pictures this year and little William wasn't much better. I don't know why she is afraid of Santa, I don't think I help matters now as I tell her that if she is naughty Santa will come and visit her. Maybe it will mean cheaper Christmases. Anyway it will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow as I have been roped into dressing as Santa for the kiddy group that Debbie goes to on Wednesdays. I wonder if little Beth will burst into tears or give me a big cuddle?
Finally no trip to the zoo would be complete without a visit to Alexanders relations.
