:: Enjoying a lovely day trip to Glasgow - no children allowed!
:: Having a rather unfortunate meeting with the pavement outside school!! Yes really, I won't go into details or the embarrassment I felt but suffice to say that I seemed to come away slightly worse off!!
:: Getting some much needed decorating done in the house along with the pre-Christmas tidying and sorting that this time of year brings.
:: Putting up the Christmas trees with the help of my very own assistant, in the form of Lauren and being loudly accompanied by Amy on the piano as we put up the trees, thrashing out her own version of "Dinkle, Dinkle, little dar" Someday I will get round to photographing Christmas!
:: Finishing the last of the Christmas shopping - yeah!!
:: Realising that Lauren is growing up - she lost her first tooth at the weekend and although she was near giddy with excitement at the prospect of a night-time visit by the tooth fairy, I on the other hand had mixed emotions only a mummy can understand.
Today, Lauren brought home a picture she had drawn in school. I know I am a little biased but it is one of the best drawings I have seen - I am continually amazed as to her increasing ability and I have decided to frame the picture as a little reminder.
:: Amy has become a real chatterbox, sometimes it doesn't make a lot of sense, particularly when she is really animated about something, but on the whole we are getting the message, loud and clear! The other day I had her in Bangor and she announced to all "I don't like shopping, I want to go home now" Clearly she hasn't realised that shopping is a girl thing!
...and finally, Jen & Ben are returning in about 10 days time, I can't wait to see them and hear all. They leave NZ next week and I trust that they will have a safe journey.

Welcome back :)
I am trying to blog daily until Christmas Eve...am I mad? Probably!
Hope you are taking lots of photos.
Kids don't know yet, but heading to see the Mouse in Paris in Feb - can't wait.
I slipped over outside our house last week on some very icy cobbles. I landed on a big tin of biscuits which I had just bought to give to Callum's pre-school teachers, leaving a huge dent in the lid and my pride. I had to write a little explanation on the wrapping so that they knew I hadn't just bought a damaged tin on the cheap! I can't believe Lauren has lost a tooth, Matthew still hasn't yet - he keeps asking me when he will.
