Forgotton snaps from long ago ..

Tonight I was cleaning up some files on a computer we don't use much anymore and came across some forgotton pics from when the twins were babies. Brought back mixed memories .. of them being oh so cute ... and oh so hard work! here is a few of my favourites.

the double sink was very handy, one would 'wait' in the rinse side while her sister bathed.

" Good morning Mrs Modraaaaaaaa "

I have recently been doing some casual relief teaching at Neah's school. I haven't taught since I graduated with my teachers degree when I was about 25 weeks pregnant with the twins! It has been good fun, and teachers sure must have plenty to smile about! Here are some pearlers I had in my classes.
On my first day we played a game so I would learn the names quickly and I heard

• 'My name is ........., I have a cat and I own a mum' !

another day a child in excitment in wanting to answer a question

• .. 'Mrs Mummy, I know' and of course the other's all laughed at him ... and he was embarressed!

Wish I could remember all of them, Do hope your day is a happy one, Bron x
