My time here has not been very eventful since Grant left until last weekend. The boys are still out of school and the weather was still terrible. Andrew took a holiday week the week after Grant left which was nice to have a bit of a break and not be the only one here with the boys. On the 22nd of August we bought a kitten and we get to take him home next Wednesday! This should be interesting seeing as I am such a dog person and have never had a cat! We are also getting donkeys and a cow, but now it might now be until Christmas because we have to have stables! But then that weekend the boys went to Andrew's parents' house and Pernille and Andrew went to Spain for a friend's birthday party so I had the house to myself for the weekend which was nice and relaxing. I hung out with Lauren a lot and made some new friends! On Saturday night I went to see the Bourne Ultimatum with Lauren and Sarah and it was so good!!! It was cool to see the bit at London Waterloo station because that is the train station I take into London!
Monday the 27th was a Bank Holiday which was fun! I love how Americans need excuses to have a holiday, like President's Day or Labor Day or MLK Jr. Day, but here they feel like having a holiday so they just call it a bank holiday and thats it! They don't need to justify taking time off :) Last week was a bit full on with the boys, because I had them the whole week like usual only Pernille's dad was also very sick so Pernille and Andrew were not around much at all. We went to a park by a canal on Tuesday, then Wednesday we went to Farnham park for the entire day and had a picnic. Thursday I took the boys to a play zone with massive slides! Then Friday Dad arrived from Germany!
Andrew got home Friday around 6 and I immeditely left for the station! I missed my train so I had to wait 20 min for the next train into Waterloo, and then took the tube to meet dad! We stayed at the Holiday Inn on Oxford Street, near Oxford Circus which was an amazing location! It was so fun to see him! We went to eat at a cute Italian place down the street and then went back to the hotel to relax. Saturday we went to the National Gallery and we saw the show WICKED!!! Dad got the most amazing seats, only about 20 rows back in the dead center! It was so good and we decided that we could easily become addicted to shows if given the chance! Sunday we saw the movie Breach which was good and funny to watch with English people and hear what they laughed about since the movie was about the American government! It was sad to say goodbye, but I am glad Dad got to come for the weekend!
Sorry this is short and rushed, but I wanted to update a bit quickly and I will try to be better at it! Congrats to Danny for a great opening season with soccer! And happy birthdays are in order for Sara, Kelly and Lisa!
Have a wonderful day :)
