Seamus is a funny cat.The other day as I rushed out to swimming with the kids I glanced into the play room where he comes into from being outside. There in his foodbowl lay a mouse.. he'd obviously caught it and decided he was going to save it till later. I just had to laugh at the way he put it in his bowl. Was tempted to take a picture and label it cat food..but thought you might not want to see a dead rodent on the screen, so went with this one instead.

Amie's Party

Amie and her friends had a great time at Haa Hoos Pottery studio today for her party!

A lot has happened since the last time we posted. Both children have had birthdays, so Noah is now 5 and Amie is 7. Noah's also started at Amie's school and has settled in really well. And Amie has won the Chess Championship for the second year running.

We've had a trip up to Cumbria and York during the Easter break, and dug the annual passes out for a trip to Legoland. We're busy preparing for Amie's party tomorrow and are going to make some rice-Krispie cakes :)

Amie opening her cards on her birthday, Easter Sunday. She was ill on her birthday so we had to save the cake for the next day.

Noah trying out the present he bought Amie, a gross science set. That's him with a wound and maggots on his hand, no wonder Amie felt ill!

Amie finally getting to have her cake the next day. We've just bought a Moshi Monsters cake for her party tomorrow.

Amie bought this puppy called Benji with her own birthday money while we were in Legoland.

Amie and Noah in York Jail... they managed to get out.

Noah's happy to ride Amie's 16inch old bike, and doesn't seem to mind that it's pink. We're trying to sell his old one and will buy him a boy's bike with the money.

However going on a girls bike seems to have had a strange effect on him, as we couldn't get him to take off Amie's hairband later that day!
