the twins birthday…

This is part of the reason for my staying on until late february, Anna went up stairs to wake them up and some of their presents were hidden in her bed. The clues as to where the presents were … poor anna her bed is so uncomfortable time is ticking by.. ( so it was in the bottom of the grandfather clock) I had to make brownies for the class, the birthday person is allowed to bring cake to class for the recess. Then this evening we will have chocolate roulade cake stuffed with nutella whipping cream.. At lunch C is to make a bunny cake.. The best thing will be that James comes home this afternoon from Chicago and that will make them happy to have their Dad for the celebration. At english school this afternoon they are putting on a play so we are all going, we are picking up James at the airport and taking him straight to the school. Yesterday we hung the new curtains, a friend came over and installed the hardware but we found that the colour of the curtain rod was too cold so we rushed off and changed it for brushed copper.. it looks much better. The curtains make the room look finished. I shall try and take photos which may do them justice. Now only two evenings before I leave. Dreading the very early morning start on thursday.
