"There's no mistake
I smell that smell
It's that time of year again
I can taste the air"
I love it!!! It is so cold here just now, already it is time for coats and hats for the kids , I just treated myself to some amazingly cosy "Ugg" style boots and can't wait to get out and try them. cosy boots too for the kids to go crunching through the leaves. I love it!!
It has been quite cold in the house in the evenings too which can only mean one thing!! Hot chocolate!! But hot chocolate weather to me isnt just about warm milk and amazing chocolate, Oh no hot chocolate in my house is only consumed from my favourite Disney Christmas mug!! This is the best bit! It never fails to make me smile, Mickey dressed as Santa delivering presents, Donald electrocuting himself while putting lights on the tree, the roaring fire in the firepace. I is just so warm and cosy and Disney!
So as soon as I feel that chill, smell that special cold crisp air it can only mean one thing!!!
And I love it!!!

A walk for Bud
On Sunday Sept 21st my beautiful children took part in a sponsered memory walk to raise money for Alzheimers Scotland. We walked in memory of our beloved Bud, Murray's Grandad. We lost him in January of this year. He was trully one of lifes special people. He was a true gentleman. Fraser had a very special bond with him and actually gave him his very special name, Bud. We miss him so much and talk about him almost everyday. He was affected by alzheimers for around 2 years but on hindsight his memory had been failing for a lot longer. The upside to his illness was that Christine (my MIL) was very involved in his day to day care and as a result we all got to spend a lot of time with him, precious time that we may have wasted had he been 100% fit.
Sunday was an emotional day for us all but was worth every step that those special kids took. I am so proud of them and their acheivement.
This one's for you Bud

Knock three times
What a wake up! At 2am the other morning I was sleeping soundly. All of a sudden there was a loud knock at the door! I leapt out of bed and ran to answer it (dressed ever so beautifully in a long(ish) black vest ;) ) When I opened the door there was K standing on the other side! "more milk please mummy?" LOL I settled her back into bed and she went back to sleep and so did I, thinking how cute she was to have knocked!
Next morning I asked Murray if he had heard the door in the night, he replied " Yep, although I don't know who you thought you were going to answer the door to dressed like that!!!!!"
I hadnt even thought of that! Oops!

It's official!
The Princess is all grown up! Her first real day at Playgroup today! She was dressed an ready to go at 8.30, had her pack pack (back pack ;)) on and everything! Unfortunately it doesnt start until 9.15 but it is good to be organised!
As soon as we arrived she found her coat peg and ran straight in to get started! She did manage to blow a kiss to me as an after thought. She had almost as many smiles as I had tears!!
I am so glad to have her home again , my girl.

The Princess goes to Taytoop!
Today was a big day in the Hamster wheel! The Princess had her first day at Playgroup! (or Taytoop as she calls it) She was so grown up in her little playgroup polo shirt, I was able to stay with her today and she did great, I am sad and nervous for Monday though as she will be staying by herself for a whole 2.5 hours!!
What a big girl , where has all the time gone??

One of the best days ever!
I have had a lovely day. Went to work this morning and had the most perfect time! Was on such a high when I left and headed home.
Kirsten was still napping when I got in, so I got to spend some childfree time chatting with my Mum.
When K got up she was so thrilled to see me and gave me one of the best cuddles ever. My heart just bursts thinking about how amazing and loving she is.
We ate lunch with her being all snuggly with mum and me, it was a great day so we decided to go for a walk.
Mum dropped us off so K could walk home with her pram, we went into the bank where she charmed the lady and did a great proud mummy act with her baby (so cute!) She walked like a star and we had so much fun chatting about the various shops.
On our way home we passed the hall where The playgroup is (where I work with MIL and SIL) K asked if we could go in to visit and so of course we did. She had such a great time playing with everything, swinging in the chair swing on the garden. Drinking a tiny carton of milk and generally having a ball.
All too soon it was time to keep heading on home, she was happy to leave, enjoyed bumping her pram over the cobbles along the way. I felt sad when I had to say no to playing in the park that we passed but she
said no problem and remembered that we had to be home in time for Fraser arriving home.
Once Fraser was home he wanted to go out to fly his kite. Well after the half hour that it took me to build the thing (it was such a fab kite flying day that the instructions had blown away! haha ) we headed round to the playing field and taught ourseves how to fly it. It was great! We were both rubbish But Fraser's best friend Melissa was a natural !!
Just wanted to write this dow so when it all goes pear shaped tomorrow I can remember just how good I have it

A different view from the HaMster wheel!
Life in the Hamster Wheel is usually far from dull but recently it has been crazy! In the last 6 weeks we have
Had the summer holidays
Had chicken pox
Moved out for a week and had our whole house redecorated (lots of fun while dealing with lack of sleep from the aforementioned chicken pox!)
Had a lovely week long holiday at the sea side (a different sea side to where we live ;) )
Moved back in to our beautiful newly decorated house
Started back to school
Finished working with Sarah at Astara
And started a new job working in the playgroup alongside Fiona and Christine (MIL and SIL)
PHEW!!! Now is the time we need a holiday! LOL
It shows no sign of letting up yet as we are heading full throttle into the Princess starting at Playgroup! I am getting the fridge all ready so I can display those paintings with the pride they deserve!
