The Peas and me

This is about me and my twins - "the Peas" - and what we get up to.

My Lollipop boys

I bought Mika's album, Life in Cartoon Motion, the other day, and was playing it in the car when I picked up Finn and Joe from M's to take them home. They heard Lollipop, and loved it. Now, every time we go in the car, we have to hear Lollipop over and over again. Not that I mind, because it's a great, happy song. What gives me greatest pleasure, though, is hearing their little voices singing along in the back. Getting all the words wrong, of course, but I just drive along with a big stupid grin on my face and a heart full of love for the wee guys.

Cool dudes

M and I have been talking about sending photos of the Peas to a modelling agency in the hope of financing their education...and trainers, computer games, etc. etc. Still haven't got my head around the ethics of the idea, but took some photos yesterday that could be candidates. You can't see it, but Finn has a Superman "tattoo" from a pack of candy sticks - what we knew as sweetie cigarettes as kids - on his arm. He also has a sort of medallion on, that came free with a Japanese-style animation comic. Joe's little top is one half of a suit I bought him in Hong Kong. It's always touching when the Peas, who tend to choose their own clothes every day, pick out something I bought for them.
