As if life wasn't difficult enough........

So, you know how life can get difficult sometimes then it just gets a wee bit harder?

Well it is a really busy time for me at work just now (and Katie I should add), but not the kind of festive "this is brilliant" kind of busy. We are just super solid busy.

And then I have a pile of work to do for the University course I crazily embarked on this year.

Oh, yeah and then there is all that Christmas shopping to do.

And yes, there is lots of excitement with wee baby Arthur joining the family - but we are so busy we aren't getting to see him much!

Katie's phone went on a trip to St. Andrews without her this week when she left it in a friend's car. She got it back today.........

But then tonight I go and drop my phone in the bath trying to stop Lauchlan throwing Katie's phone in the bath - that's pretty disappointing (aaargH!) to say the least.

Anyway - my phone is currently in a bowl of rice hopefully magically repairing itself. I have put Sophie's little Elf in the kitchen tonight to try and help out. Unfortunately though this means no pictures for now as my phone hadn't updated all the new photos to the "cloud storage" yet so I can't access them.

Hope you are having  a better week than me.

p.s. The kids are great by the way and are starting to get very excited about Christmas ;o)

Santa Claus is coming to town.

Well I promised photos but unfortunately it has taken me so long to get the computer working tonight that I don't have time for words - sorry! `check back later in the week ;o)

Santa

please check back tomorrow or more likely Tuesday for a post all about seeing Santa 😀

A new addition to the family!

We bought our tree this weekend (photos to follow) so Christmas mania has definitely begun - but before we can even begin to get even a wee bit excited about that we have been using up all our excitement on the early arrival of Sophie and Lauchlan's wee cousin Arthur. 

In what was a bit if a surprise early appearance, Arthur and his Mum have been absolutely brilliant - Uncle Paul has done pretty well so far as well. Just wait until he starts his blog!

Everyone is absolutely overwhelmed by the news - such excitement - can't wait to see more of this little man and his Mum and Dad when the dust settles.

                                         

The end of Gran Hilary's time with us found everyone in the Science Centre - everyone had an amazing time - apart from Daddy of course who was stuck in work ;o( Great to see Gran Hilary and hopefully see her again either before or during the Christmas holidays.

                      

We are entering a very busy period of nights out and visits to see Santa so there should be plenty to keep you posted on - can't believe that's almost another year done. Come to think of it - I think next year is the 10th year of the blog - blimey.
