Just some pictures from today. They both enjoyed themselves very much.

Nice day

We had a lovely day today.

We had some friends over for a lovely lunch. The children ate enough and seemed happy.

Then we went to the park. We ended staying for ages. The children were really happy, even though it was fairly busy. The weather was beautiful and I kept seeing people I know.

Its great to live somewhere where I know people, just wandering around the town where I live, I can often see friends, mumfriends, brownies, local oddballs etc etc. I love it. I dont see how I can get this kind of life anywhere else. I feel very lucky today.

In other news, I started a forum tonight! Completely random, and to help another forum i visit expand a bit! A bit cryptic, but I want to keep it a bit quiet. I've been frantically posting and not doing my german homework! OOOOOOps!

Pics to follow, when I can.

My little secret (new) hobby!

I only realised I had it while browsing through my photos last night.

I love taking photos of flowers. Tis the season for it now, so here are some of my favourites. I have shrunk them, and some are older, so not quite as good. I hope you like them!

I think I am going to take my camera out again this week, especially if the weather improves again!

Easter Fun

We had a lovely Easter Break. I can't believe it's all over already!

We had a quiet Good Friday, followed by an improptu BBQ at Teddy's and Co. We ate lots and lots and I had a few beverages.

Saturday was my highlight. We had an Easter Egg Hunt. It was SO much fun. I do have pictures, but none are particularly "eastery" Oscar thoroughly enjoyed the day and was shattered by the end. We had friends stay late and we had a wonderful curry and more wine! I was SO tired afterwards though.

Easter Sunday was quiet and peaceful. We went for a fabulous walk in Fletcher Moss park in the morning. It was the right time to go as the weather turned later on. None of us overdid it on the Easter Eggs.

Today was spent at Span's parents. We had a great time again. Had a lovely dinner and an unexpectedly cold walk to feed some (not very hungry) ducks! Argh.

Back to normal tomorrow. Bums!

Another update on the backside

Backside is better and we found out why it hurt so much

We have a tooth. :) :) :)

My mum saw it and thought we knew! She told me at toddler group and all became clear! I think the tooth next to it is on it's way too, so hopefully she'll perk up a bit.

She had a complete meltdown in the garden, yesterday, which is unheard of. But she was happier after some calpol.

Update on the rear end!

Jas's bot is still sore, but she is SO much happier this morning. Extra point for Lindyloo for mentioning teeth! :) Nothing yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if one apprears soon.

I think we'll give her another night on the camomile treatment as it does seem to work. I also bought Metanium which worked well on Oscar.

My mum is arriving today for a short visit. I am looking forward to it, and am trying to find something to do tomorrow.

Quick note!

I meant to do this earlier, and have just remembered to write.

I have just become the proud owner of a fabulous cook book for children. Finger Foods for children

It is brilliant. A lot of it is basic stuff, which you would probably do yourself anyway (sandwiches anyone? :D) but I have found a great breadstick recipe. I never knew it was so easy. They are nice, but do lack salt, so they need to be dipped! I have pictures, I'll post when I get around to downloading.

In other news, Jas has APPALLING nappy rash. Even worse than her brother ever got. It was bleeding in about 6 different places. OMG, I feel so bad. It was so painful for her. Needless to say, I took her nappy off for over an hour when I realised why she was so upset. Then she pooed.... twice. But at least it wasn't on her poor backside. Then I used my tried and tested method for sorting out nappy rash. I do have a link, but I can't find the damn thing!

So, in summary, make up a camomile tea. Let it stew for as long as possible, so its very strong and cold. Then soak a booster in it. Try not to squeeze it too much and then place right next to baby's bottom and put on nappy as normal. It worked within two nights with Oscar. I really hope it works for Jas too.

Thats all for now! Time for bed
