For all those waiting for a second coming you will be glad to know that today proclaimed he is the second son of god. Well that was after he said he was god.
To be fair he is as likely to say he is a chicken or some other gibberish.
Charlie is very aware of the whole religious thing. This is not his ego as an international super star coming through :)
His imagination does tend to run away with him.

New Your Times and general health update
If you haven't seen it there is an article in the New York Times today
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/10/world/europe/charlie-bit-my-finger-video-lifts-family-to-fame.html?_r=1
So much time over the last three weeks has been taken up with illness, or at least we have got on with our daily lives as best as possible but spare time has not been a luxury. The photo below which they used in the above article shows Charlie with a blood shot eye. Poor thing has not been well for a couple of weeks with a cough and flu like symptoms, then he caught conjunctivitis hence the blood shot eye. Life has not been much fun.
The whole family has been in bed recovering at some point in the last couple of weeks. Generally it has not been a great place to be. We have managed to fit in some people coming round for photos and questions but it took a lot out of everyone.
Hopefully everyone is much better now expect Rupert who is still struggling with Teething.
Blogs, Videos, Facebook updates etc are only done in the spare time we can find so they are the first thing to go when someone is not well or some other emergency is going on which is also quite often :(
Cheers.

German Film Crew
A long but great day with a German film crew. The crew was great with the boys and everything went very smoothly.
I have some video of the boys on the tracks. They absolutely enjoyed this. We also played in the garden and Harry and Charlie did pretty well answering questions.
Thanks Claus.

Washing Machine Breakdown - ahhhhhhhhh!
There are not many things that fill us with dread more than the washing machine breaking down. (Well of course there are plenty but I hope you know what we mean). Two days ago that is exactly what happened. Not only that it flipped the breaker on our fuse box (consumer unit) and kept doing so. Although that is another story because it took almost a day to discover it was just one part of the programme on the washing machine that was causing all the problems.
I order a new machine and two days later the replacement arrived. Not much of a story but made into one because one of the men delivering the washing machine spotted the title of the video on our computer and mentioned it. We then explained, hence;
The washing machine that broke down was a Bosch and to be fair it has lasted us about 8 years with at least two washes a day so I think it served us well. A couple of years ago I changed the motor and reckoned it was not worth messing with this time, especially over Christmas when the need is high and getting it working was not a guarantee. I could get a new one delivered next day if I sorted it out the same day. I bought it from www.appliancesonline.co.uk. I have used them a few times now and have always been happy with their service. I always feel I should pass on good experiences.

Doctor Who Experience
Harry, Charlie and I went to the Doctor Who Experience today at Olympia (http://www.doctorwhoexperience.com/).
It was great to get up close and personal to a number of Daleks, Cybermen, all the other Doctor Who badies and goodies, inside of the Tardis and loads of other things.
There was an interactive part which the boys enjoyed - best not to give the details away
After that was an area to have your pictures super imposed on the Tardis
Here are the photo team :)
Sorry it's a bit blurry - so much back light
If you are still not sure in the last area is a Dalek you can get in side and control

God's father is a frog
I do love having conversations with the boys, especially when Harry, Charlie and Jasper are together with me in the car. I can't get away and the conversations take loads of twist and turns.
This week we were talking about Charlie's nativity - he is an Angel. He asked how Jesus was born and why he had two dads. Very confusing to explain to a 5 year old. Anyway are about 5 minutes we worked out God's father was a frog. Simple.
Jasper has been a bit naughty this week - He had a hot chocolate in the lounge. I hate the boys eating and drinking in our lounge, Shelley does not - a bone of contention. Anyway Jasper spills his drink everywhere. Charlie spills some of his so no more drinks in the lounge. The following night Jasper is not allowed a Hot Chocolate. Harry and Charlie are sitting in the kitchen drinking theirs.
Jasper: Can I have a drink
Daddy: Yes, but you cannot have a hot drink
Jasper: I don't want a hot drink
Daddy: Ok, what drink do you want
Jasper: Hot Chocolate
It's great to be a child, I am glad I have never forgotten.
