Going a wee bit potty

So much to talk about and so little time - first of all apologies to anybody looking for a post last week - i think by the time Sunday night swung by things had been so manic that I was in my bed early.

So the latest news this week is as follows:

1) Everybody is doing very well thanks and Sophie is doing an excellent job sleeping this month.

2) Lauchlan still cries a lot in the evenings but we have implemented a harsh new regime - erm - routine and this seems to be working so far.

3) Sophie has been having tons of fun and is starting to talk a lot about Christmas.

4) Sophie met Santa at the weekend and didn't enjoy it very much - she didn't cry thought to be fair

5) We also met lots of her favourite tv characters (adults dressed up) after a wee while warming up to them she said "Dad, i am not scared anymore" and she high fives them like there was no tomorrow.

6) We visited Gavin and Catherine (great aunt and uncle) - Sophie was able to play about her cousins Erin and Euan - she had a wonderful time.

7) It was Grandad's birthday this week and Sophie loved the Happy Birthday singing and she especially liked the cake - A LOT!

Here is a random selection of the most recent photos........

Hurtling towards Christmas.

Another super fast week sees us hurtling towards a very busy Christmas period. We are both still pretty exhausted but loving every crazy minute of having two bundles of fun.

No real news this week other than 1) Lauchlan had his first jags and Sophie held his hand to make sure he was ok 2) Uncle Paul and Auntie Nicole came to visit for a fun filled Saturday afternoon 3) Gran and Grandad came for a visit and Mum and Dad got out for a lunch together - 90 minutes of eating and just talking about the kids.

Here are the limited selection of photos from this week......

Halloween 2 and fireworks

No writing again last week - things have been nuts - sorry!

This week has been the same business as all the others but we did have two big events to prepare for and to see how things turned out.

First up was Halloween proper - we went ou on the street and there were tons of other kids, Gran joined Sophie and Lauchlan as we went door to door telling jokes.

"What's a ghost's favourite dessert?"  "I-Scream"

Sophie had a great laugh and I think Lauchlan did too but we headed home just in time for it to start raining so our timing was good.

 

The second event of the week was of course Guy Fawkes - we got ourselves all prepared for a late night of firework fun down at a West End bowling club.  We all got wrapped up and rushed out arriving at the venue to meet some friends with 5 minutes to spare until the fireworks started.

One minute after the fireworks started and we were back indoors - along with a bunch of others I might add. Sophie decided that fireworks were just too noisy so we headed home - as did her friend Olivia. Lauchlan however couldn't stop laughing for some reason.

And talking of Lauchlan here he is posing on his changing mat.

And here is proof, if proof was in fact needed, that kids will copy every silly thing their Daddy does.

 Here is Sophie out for a walk with Mummy to the post office.

And finally - here are some photos to catch up from previous weeks - I will update the text on these at some point soon.
