So Sophie really likes the Paper Dolls book - if you have never read it Sophie will tell you all about it - a tragic story of love lost. So we paid great attention to the book and got Sophie's outfit pretty close to the girl in the book - with a butterfly hair slide etc. Anyway - we drew and coloured in some paper dolls and then I mounted them on cardboard and had to cut them out. Well I was going to cut them out until the snow cancelled nursery but I thankfully didn't bin our hard work - I didn't exactly finish it either. Hah - World Book Day next year - I will have plenty of time to prepare - in fact I am well ahead of the game.
That was until the Tuesday night at about 9pm when i found out world book day had been rearranged for the Wednesday, cue a bit of late night cutting and painting and we were good to go.
Sophie was excited and the outfit was really good - however when Sophie came back from nursery she said "you forgot to dress me up!". Unfortunately all the other girls had went along in their Princess dresses - I don't believe half of them had any idea what book they were supposed to be......
Lauchlan found my guitar again this week and here he is pretending he is going to use the plectrum to play a tune and then he just does what we all knew he was going to do and drop the plectrum inside the guitar.
We have been lucky enough to see more of Nicole and Arthur this week - he is getting much bigger and going through a really nice wee stage where he is getting really alert. Loving his hair.
We embarked on early morning painting for Mother's Day whilst Mum got some extra time in bed - I think Lauchlan's favourite bit was when he spilled a cup of water all over the table.
Mum was spoiled this week - she not only got new wellies that Dad had a bit of nightmare getting on the internet.But Dad decided to surprise her with two additional gifts that Mum had thought were for him. Firstly a new hedge trimmer and secondly an upgraded Virgin Media box - happy Mother's Day Katie!
We all then packed ourselves in the car to head over to see the birthday girl - Gran Irene can't remember a time when Mothers Day and her birthday ever clashed before but it MUST have happened at some point previously surely!?!! Anyone got the time or inclination to check?
That's all for this week folks -and welcome back to Sunny Scotland Auntie Joyce and Uncle Ronnie. ;o)
