Well today hasn't been the most successful as James scalded his thumb and we developed a water feature in the bathroom. James thumb still throbbing but water feature dealt with. I broke my toe yesterday; james tried to tell me it wasn't broken as he could bend it; to which I pointed out that I hadn't been able to bend it at all for at least 3 years since I last broke it. Hopfully it sets straighter this time.
We have been to Mt Teide this week and couldn't help but to admire the beauty of nature. We took a picnic, it is nice not to end up eating a picnic in the car or huddled up. We also went to a beautiful beach; where James managed to aquire a Spanish child eager to help him build sandcastles. The kids and I watched quite bemused because of the language barrier they made Mt Teide, still never worked out where his parents were. We then went to a Tapas Bar in Adeje.
We are now officially residents but everything over here requires so much paperwork, tomorrow going to collect translated birth certificates which will allow empadriation which in turn allows us to register the kids at school. I just know it won't be that simple!
Well better go as we are trying to get the kids back into a pattern.
