We did the boring but necessary tidying up on Friday night and Saturday morning, then Saturday afternoon we went to fetch the twins (8) to take them to see "Stomp" at one of the local theatres.
I think the kids were a bit non plussed for the first 5 mins or so, then got the hang of what it was all about and thoroughly enjoyed themselves :-)
After the show, we went back to collect their little brother (3) did some shopping, got pizza for tea on their request, and took them back to ours for the night. After tea they made birthday cards for "Grannys" 70th (my mum) then I stuck them in the bath, did stories, then bed time.
As per usual for kids, they woke up way too early, so we left them to kill each other, tried to ignore them until about 8, when I got up and sorted out breakfast.
The twins were clamouring to have a go on runescape, but we put the Stomp DVD (we got it yesterday) on first, and did some "Stomping" - making rhythms with matches in their box, water in a bottle, and an empty bottle and a fork!
Having got the kids dressed, we went down to town, to meet their mum and dad, and my parents. It is my mums 70th today, Monday, so we all had lunch in a rather nice Italian restaurant yesterday to celebrate.
Mum got some lovely presents - a book from us, some table mats with pictures of the three kids, and a telescope for bird watching from my dad!! (we went out and chose it whilst I was off work with no voice) All went down very well, and we had a really good party lunch :-)
Sunday pm.
Gave parents a lift back, got home and was shocked to find the window to our office wide open.. horrors for a while thinking cats had escaped onto the roof and away, but on calling, Billy came trotting along, and Lilly a while later. Phew!! Billy now nearly always comes when i make a squeaking sound :-) Ahhhh :-)

Reminds me of the story of a man who went on holiday, after asking a neighbour to keep an eye on his elderly mother and her cat.
On return, the neighbour blurted out, "Sorry, you're cat died!"
Stunned, the man took a few deep breaths, then complained: "Couldn't you have broken the news more gently?" - "How?" was the neighbour's response.
"Well, you could have said, 'your cat got out the window onto the garage roof, then fell off, and sadly died' - at least I would have been better prepared for the news."
"I see", said the neighbour,"Well, the other news is that your mum got out the window onto the garage roof..."
cute about billy, funny about frevious post and congrats to your mother!
