Scrapbooking Shocker!

The shocker? I've actually done some! This one's been on the back burner since November and I've finally got round to doing it! I wanted to experiment with different lettering styles for my titles so decided to practise lots of different ones all on the same layout!

Today we've been out with Laura and Evie. We took the little tearaways to a playgym, which ended up being a bit of a pointless exercise as Xander spent his time trying out chairs and Evie took a shine to the disabled toilet! We did manage to get them on the slide a couple of times however (along with Evie's new best friend, Baby!)What a difference though, doesn't seem like 2 minutes since we first introduced the terrible twosome!

On A Washing Line!

So, you've heard the term 'Could sleep on a washing line'? Well, that term was invented for the cute but slightly deranged black and white fluffy thing we have living in our house! We've been noticing more and more the stupidest places Cindy Foo seems to take her naps, so here is Cindy's favourite zzzz spots (so far!) .....So bored

What do you mean that armchair's comfier than this sideboard?

Aah, I see what you mean! Looks a bit slippy to me though, better hold on!

Salem, I can't believe these humans make us earn our food by being bookendsI'm dreaming of being the first ever cloned cat

If I sneak in with these party bags, maybe I'll get to go to the party too

What, you weren't watching that were you?

Still bored

Santa will never see me hiding in here

If I lay here long enough, maybe Xander will drop some crumbs

Hmm, this plan to post myself onto the hearth isn't exactly working

Sleep? It's all a puzzle to me!

The Adventures Of Hannah Chicktana!

So, we're on Day 3 of looking after Hannah Chicktana. Not only do we have to keep an eye on her but we have to take her on adventures too! So, last night she came on a car ride with us to pick Xander up from nursery...and then Emily read her a bedtime story...Tonight she is coming to the library and gymnastics with us! (Cue me stood looking like a right pleb holding an egg while Emily does her twirly bits on the bars!)

And for anyone who thinks Hannah looks a tad different: Shhhhhhhhhh!!! I've no idea why and Emily's not asked so let's not mention a certain cracking incident yesterday lunchtime and a quick boiling of a new egg, OK?!

Meet Hannah Chicktana!

This is Hannah Chicktana! She's part of a sponsored school project of Emily's in aid of Barnados. She's had to decorate an egg (of course, she decorated hers as Hannah Montana!) and now has to take care of it for a week. And, apparently, as Emily goes to school they've told her that mummy has to care for it while she's out; so I'm sat here babysitting a hard boiled egg!

So, if anyone would like to sponsor Emily (and me as it turns out) then please let me know!

Guess Who........

...is going to be sat here in 15 months time......

ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My sister and her hubby-to-be have booked their wedding for next June in Antigua and, as Emily's bridesmaid and Xander's pageboy, we're only going to have to blooming well go too aren't we?!

Excited doesn't even cover it!!

The Sophistication Of One's Friends!

So, you know how it is: you invite a few people round for a sophisticated evening; you discuss politics, the world economy, metaphysics, the annual Rotary Club ball.......and then you get the Wii out and it all goes to pot!!

Kay, I want you to go away and hang up your powersuits and briefcase in shame! And as for you Stevie mate, no more Dr Pepper for you, I'm putting you on something softer next time you come round (like vodka!)

Happy Birthday Emily!!!

Can you believe it? Emily is a whole 6 years old today!!

We had quite a hectic weekend for her birthday so today is just going to be quiet. Rob, Xander and I were all sat there waiting for her this morning; we thought she'd be battering down the door at 5am but she eventually rolled in at a very respectable 6.45. She'd opened quite a few presents over the weekend as she saw people so there were just a handful this morning. We bought her a guitar so she can practise at being Hannah Montana (Rob's going to teach her how to play) and Xander bought her the Sharpay doll that she's been nagging for forever!

I'm taking her shopping after school as she has a Disney Store voucher and a nice crisp tenner so no doubt by teatime we'll have the other half of the Disney Store that she hasn't already got! Then the 4 of us are having a birthday tea (fajitas and a chocolate Hannah Montana cake!)

Happy Birthday Emily!!!!!
