Just plain typical – Oliver started last night with a fever and was up a lot of the night and has required calpol and ibruprofen to control his temperature 🙁
We are looking forward to a fun couple of days … 🙁
Wish us luck..
Typical…

Florida tomorrow :-)
We are starting to get ready – it is at this time that frustration kicks in as you can’t locate all the chargers for a foreign country for all your electronic items… We LIVED in the US for 18 months only 6 months ago – yet all the US chargers for things like iPhones/iPads seem to have hidden themselves here in Fork Hall 🙁
At least the search for said items uncovered the missing floating swimsuits for the boys 🙂 AND better news – they both still fit 🙂 = RESULT
The boys are once again enjoying a morning consisting of a little chocolate and a little XBOX 🙂 They have played really nicely together all morning 🙂 Poor Elliot appears to have been blessed with his father’s stomach with reference to chocolate and finely tuned liquid manure spraying 🙁 At least it causes him to self regulate chocolate intake 🙂
13:45 tomorrow we will be sat onboard a Virgin Atlantic plane in Manchester, preparing to head out to Orlando – YAY!
Will try to blog while we are away – we have out 5 day Disney park hopper tickets including 5 accesses to the water parks etc – we also need to do shopping on Day1 (of course 🙂 ) and then head over to Tampa for the Busch Gardens visit etc.
See you soon…
Happy New Year to one and all
All of us at Fork Hall wish you a very Happy New Year and a wonderous and prosperous 2012.
New Years celebrations were rife in Fork Hall last night – see a little picture of the choir….
The ForkHall New Years Choir
OK, so not all members of the choir are here, but these were the original members 🙂 There will be video at some point also…. 😀
Merry LEGO….
It was great to see Paula, Richard and Cayton today, although sadly Oliver has been having one of his temperature days 🙁 It turns out he has tonsillitis (more about this later though). We stayed in rather than going out as we had initially planned – we think this suited all of the boys as it happens – Cayton certainly seemed to enjoy playing with the trains and it gave Elly and Olly a chance to get to grips with their new stuff
Mummy and Daddy have spent all afternoon re-building the older LEGO sets in a bid to reduce the mess and bring back to life some of the older stuff. So far, we seem to be only missing a couple of pieces and we now have probably most of the LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean and Cars2 sets in full build 🙂 Photo will be put up tomorrow when we have had a chance to re-check our stock 🙂
Following a whole day of strange temperatures and strange control – i.e. Calpol being able to manage his temperature but only for a couple of hours etc. Calpol usually can’t fully control it and ibruprofen is required – not today. Vicky ended up called NHS Direct for advice and they were keen to have Olly looked at tonight….. The appointment was at 10:30 and the Calpol was just at it’s peak so he was mega chatty and fully OK i.e. 36.9 Celsius as opposed to the 40.5 Celsius that he had been just 2 hours earlier. After a check over, it seems that our little mouse is actually suffering from tonsillitis, hence why he has not reacted as usual with the temperature spiking etc. We have antibiotics for the next few days (5 we believe) and so we are hoping that this helps clear it up for the little monke well in advance of the five days.
Elliot is A OK and has no symptoms which is nice. He is just mega eager to get his hands on the LEGO Black Pearl that he received for Christmas. Daddy is very nervous of this as it is very big with lots of small pieces that are going to be a PITA to put back together 🙁
Back in the gym in the morning for daddy…
Santa Express today….
We are heading out to Oxenhope later this morning as we have booked some seats on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway Santa Express today.
Here are the photos 🙂
The boys finished school on Friday at lunchtime (well Elly did – Olly’s last day was Thursday) so we are beginning to get very excited – Elliot has been singing songs from the Polar Express and showing us how reindeers run / fly through the skies 🙂
Typically, poor Olly has one of his temperature issues that started the night before last 🙁 We are just hoping that the calpol etc will keep it under control for hom to enjoy the train – he has been talking about it all week !!!
Christmas shopping is now almost done 🙂
We nipped down to see Sara, Matt and the girls yesterday (albeit a short trip as we weren’t sure initially if Olly should leave the house, and then we decided to come home a little early as his temperature was on the rise again 🙁 )
Just a week to go….. 🙂
