Dazed not confused

Hi Guys. Yesterday was a strange one. P was picked at noon by his caseworker and he was taken to his new temp home. It was a bit strange last night having the house to ourselves for the first time in 2 months. It was the right move for him but we still wish we could have 'changed' more for him. Patrick took the day off so we went to the beach in the morning. We took Carys and she kicked her ball around for a few minutes and then went running in circles. She noticed teh shells and was telling me to pick tehm up for her. Or should I say she was pointing and grunting (she's positively medieval!). She does not like to get her hands grubby. If they get wet or sticky she gives them to you to wash!

Patrick took the camera but was unable to take photos as I had left the memory card plugged into the computer. He was not amused.

Adam is having an army 'boot camp' party and I'm tryig to come up with things the kids can do! I've already bought the water balloons aka bombs and we are planning the obstacle course any other ideas let me know!

I fed Carys her first pinto beans for lunch-- refried in a tortilla---- she spat them out. Sorry Mom... the little mexican in her is well hidden!!! I on the other hand loved my bean burrito!!!! mmmmm smelt like home .. a little bit of beans... fried onion... chile. Just so you know the pinto bean is also known as the Borlotti bean and I can now buy them from the German supermarket for 39 pence! You know you've hit rock bottom when you can only get beans from a can!
