The mirror crack'd....

...no not quite it smashed to smithereens (how on earth do you spell that?!) But I am sure you get the picture! Whilst I was ironing and thinking to myself how well the morning was going (kids hadn't argued, I hadn't had to raise my voice, the ironing was going to be finished in time to walk to Kindergarden to pick Robert up, when....... SMASH!!!!!! Richard somehow managed to knock Florian's Grandma's mirror over. Haven't got a clue how. That really shook me. Richard was so lucky, that he was standing to the side of the mirror (and me for that matter). But the poor heirloom, is now possibly beyond repair (the mirror definitely, the frame maybe, Florian will have to look) At least no one was hurt. And apparently it is only bad luck if a mirror breaks into 7 pieces, this was more like 7.000 pieces.
To top it off, a plant that was stood in front of it, also fell to the floor, and it had been watered too much. So along with all the pieces of mirror I also had a lake to mop up!
Richard was sufficiently frightened to stay in Roberts room, so I didn't need to worry about him.

In the afternoon, after a lot of tidying up (Robert and Richard got out ALL of the toys and spread them right across the bedroom) We went to the bakers - that sounds like a fun outing, doesn't it.
Well, it is really a baker and indoor playground. The boys love it there, and I got a REAL break. They went straight off to play with all the toys (Richard with the Stickle Bricks, Robert on a Go-Kart), and I treated myself to a Chocolate Croissant and a Hot Chocolate - just what the doctor had ordered, I would say!

And now my little cherubs are snug as bugs in rugs in their beds - hopefully soon asleep.
Take care, check your mirrors are not safety hazards

I've been busy scrapping again, this is for a Book of Me Challenge at DSO (Digital Scrapbooking Org), you had to scrap your expectations for 2008 rather than your New Years Resolutions.
