Pass me the drill!

We are having the most splendid weather at the moment. I have even managed to get some colour in my face. Not that pink is really my colour but right now I'm desperate for anything that resembles a tan!

The boys and I went to watch 'Monster Vs Aliens' at Tower Park in Poole. It's a nice entertainment center, very 'jusj' as I call it. The bathroom is a little too 'jusj' for me, the tiles are black including floor and ceiling. On the way in I found myself overwhelmed by darkness and fighting with two swing doors. I got past the first swing door only to nearly knock myself unconscious on the second one (I swear that door was alive!). Dazed and somewhat confused I managed to complete my mission.

Unfortunately they didn't have 'salted' popcorn so we had to settle for a big packet of M&M's each. The movie was a blast and the boys really enjoyed it.

Both boys have chosen cabin beds for their rooms (a lot smaller than Stompa beds). We found this great dealer on ebay who sells 'seconds' for basically half price. The beds might have a few scratches or marks but they are brand new, just not perfect.

One of the beds arrived last week. Hubby opened the flat packed bed with vigor but somehow lost his enthusiasm very quickly. He assured me that the instructions were wrong, the holes were in the wrong places and it would take a professional to sort this one out. The bed was left in bits and pieces all over the bedroom.

Yesterday I decided to take on the challenge. I must say that I felt very intimidated confronted by the enormity of the situation but my boy was desperate to sleep in his new bed. The boy is now very happy sleeping in his new bed and is a firm believer that women do things better than men. I on the other hand have discovered why men like working with drills - it's a power tool!
