Funny Murray Conversation

We're explaining to the kids that we are getting a rabbit and Murray and I were reading the book I have bought. I said to him

Mum: What kind of rabbit would you like?
Muzz: One with up ears.
Mum: One with sticky up ears?
Muzz: Yes
Mum:: What if we can't get one and get one with floppy ears?
Muzz: We'll stick it's ears up.
Mum: We can't do that it's not what you do.
Muzz: Yes we can We'll get a bobble
Mum: We need to get a run for the rabbit as well as a house.
Muzz: No we don't run we walk.
Mum: You are priceless you are.
Muzz: I'm not priceless I'm Murray.

So god help us when We are able to have a rabbit from my friend who is a breeder. .Lxx

Easter Egg Rolling

It was Easter Sunday and we went egg rolling up Corstorphine Hill.

Here's Murray and Daddy heading up the hill.

Here's us at the top with Auntie Petra, Uncle Graeme and our cousin's Lewis and Logan
Eilidh's sticking the stickers on her egg before we start.
Here'e we're getting the eggs out
And off we go rolling

We had lots of fun. And for the first year EVER..... it didn't rain while we were rolling.

Happy Easter

Hello everyone

We're doing Easter this weekend. I am a dreadful mother as if I could cancel Easter I would.

Our big news is that we are going to have a new arrival within the family. After lots of discussions we have decided to get a mini lop or a netherlands dwarf rabbit. Hoping to get one round about July/August from my friend who is a breeder. At least I know we will be getting a quality rabbit.

Hope you all have a lovely easter.

Ballet Show

Eilidh's had her ballet show this weekend. It was rehersals all day yesterday with the show at night. After having few probs on rehersals, while on stage performing at night E's skirt started to fall down. Her teacher grabbed her off and sorted it quickly and she still did her solo part where she dances across the stage in time. Here's some pics.

Before the show in the dressing room with her class

Professional close up one done by ballet school

Another professional one. My favourite. Shame she forgot to take her cardi off.

So my mother's day treat is to watch her again dancing. Then we're getting a chinese. The bun is up and will hopefully stay up lol. I amn't half hopeless with hair.

Budding Picasso

Went to pic Murray up at nursery yesterday and his teacher told me he had done a fantastic painting and when she showed me I was shocked as it was excellent. I'm just so proud of him. Not bad for a not yet 3 and a half year old. He's got lots of tricks up his sleeve has that boy.

It's been snowing

As you can see the snow fell on Saturday night. So Daddy, Eilidh and Murray have made snowmen on both the driveway and the garden. Unfortunately, it's turning rather slushy now so hopefully it won't freeze over tonight. Keeping Central Heating on all night anyway.

Just a quick Hello

Just a quick Hello from me.

Work is going well. Eilidh is finally on stage 5 reading (I reckon her reading ability is higher than her teacher gives her credit for). Murray's loving the childminder these days. She took him food shopping and in general chit chat she asked him what he thought of a food and he replied "I don't like that, put it back!"

Was working in the sticks the other day and My god the car was filthy after parking on the main street. The nursery has a car park which I will remember for next time. Murray and I had to go thru a car wash which he loved as the men was it while you are still inside. It's great fun.

Speak soon and hope to add pics soon etc

Valentines Day

I woke up to these on Valentines Day. Aren't they lovely? I just love Orange flowers.

David took the day off and we went to Livingston and saw Chicken Little in the cinema. Then we hit Pizza Hut for a buffet followed by a look in the shops and then Tumblezone to burn off the pent up energy.

Here's a nice pic of me and the kids in Sept that I have just found.

We had a great day today. A lazy morning followed by a family swim. Unfortunately the outdoor pool is still closed. But it was rugby day and the pool and club were deserted which surprised us.

The tamagotchi's had babies this week and killed their parents. We've gone from Tama and Bob to Teri and Herby. Though D and I seem to be the ones who spend the time looking after them.

Work is going really well. Fingers crossed that it continues. I'm really enjoying all the nurseries and I am getting more confident about saying "Hi there, I'm Louise Carlisle your supply NN!" I'm also getting more confident in my job and it's like I've never been away.

Bedtime now whoooooooo peace and quiet after today.
