This is us!

Firstly Hello world!  Phew!  I have finally made the decision to BLOG. I am so indecisive. Yes No Yes No...so finally I settled on YES, GO FOR IT!   So this is us, a normal family well as normal as you can get when you five children and home-school them. But then who is normal!! Mum, Dad three boys two girls, two cats, and seven chickens all in a house (well not the chickens) in the country.   I love it! But Remind me that every now and then especially when one traipses chicken poo inside the house, or someone brings half the sandpit inside or the cows break through the fence and ruin the lawn! We have fun, the kids make mess, LOADS of noise, fight and make more mess!  I stress, I yell, I cry, I laugh, I am happy, I cry, I ponder, I grump, and I love! (I have been known to make the odd mess)  (if you really want to get up my husbands nose then you leave used teabags lying on the bench along with empty packets of stuff)  I am quite good at that apparently!

Here is our tribe

Here is us as a civilised family!  I think we look relatively normal (don't you)?

 
Do you know how hard it is to get everyone looking at the camera, actually smiling, and eyes open, I think this was take number 8!

Well for now its good bye....my nice warm bed awaits along with my book...and my husband (Jamie) is probaby sick of looking at the back of my head!

So long for now!
