So I would have posted sooner but we've not had a lot going on.
We've had the kids feeling a little off in the last week but not a full on bug just tummy aches and feeling tired. Archie was sent home from school twice and Cerys had the day off on Thursday as she felt sick. Archie was sick once on Thursday night. They seem to be getting over it thankfully.
The kiddies have been wanting Moshi Monsters cards so we've been treating them to packets when we can find them in shops. Not sure what is so great about them but the kids love them.
One of our kittens went to live in their new home on Wednesday. The couple were lovely and I think she's going to be their first pet. We still have the little boy living with us and hope he finds a new home soon.
I've noticed I'm starting to struggle with walking to the school and back. I get so sore in my pelvis from where Bubs head is resting that I then start walking at a snails pace so I suspect I may have to give up trying soon.
Gwen had her first hair cut on Thursday. She'd been long overdue for a trim but I didn't feel confident enough that she'd sit still for me to have a go at cutting it. With this warm weather she's been so hot and her hair has been so messy I thought it was time to just have a go. I ended up taking about an inch off the length and she looks so much better, no more straggly ends.
And finally Cerys won a giveaway on a friends facebook page today Dolly Cupcake Wilmslow for Cake Pops. She'll be doing a review when it arrives which will be posted on the blog. She can't wait to try them they look so yummy.
Today Cerys got given her 2 reception class buddies. As Cerys is in year 6 they get assigned a buddy or as in her case 2 buddies. It's to help the reception class children to settle in easier and to have an older child they know looking out for them. Cerys has been waiting since the start of the summer holidays to get her buddy. She was so pleased she came out with a huge smile on her face today after school.
Archie has invited his friend, Toby, for dinner after school on Friday. He's told us that we have to have pizza, chips and baked beans as Toby likes that. He's so excited.
We visited Kelly, Ian, Katie and Chloe after school. They have a puppy which is about 2 weeks old. She's a little cutie. She's a very special little pup. Her siblings all died and her mum nearly died too but luckily Poppy, the mum, was seen by a vet in time and her life saved. The puppy is doing so well and seems to be on some kind of super milk she's grown so much since I last saw her. She's a white and pale beige colour. Kelly has also taken in 3 kittens which were left by their mum at just 2 weeks old. Sadly 2 lost their fight for life this morning but the 3rd is still hanging in there but doesn't look so good. It's so tiny and having to be fed by syringe. We all hope it pulls through.
I got some lovely post today. I won a prize in the Cloth Nappy Hunt at the end of August. I was picked from a hat after finding the hidden icon on a website. I won a Gap bodysuit for Bubs all the way from Australia. The website was Bluemist Kids. She threw in a little surprise too. It was a gorgeous little Hello Kitty pack back which we've put aside for Jorja or Gwen for Christmas.
How cute is that bag!!
