I'm late blogging...

cause the boys have been playing up this bedtime! I thought that after a couple of nights in the same room they would have gotten used to it, but no today was the worst of all. I told Florian on the phone and he couldn't stop laughing! I however am British and "AM NOT AMUSED!" (as Queen Victoria once put it!) See what you think. I was in and out like a yoyo. Once I found both of them sat under Robert's bed, seeing if the stars are shining apparently, then Robert needs a weewee (OK, that's allowed), then I find Richard in Roberts bed (with pillow and teddies), next its Robert in Richards bed (again including teddies), next Richard had a smelly nappy, then they both want more to drink, then Richard knocks the Winnie the Pooh painting onto the floor, then Robert needs another weewee, then I find Richard almost on the windowsill looking out of the window. And then I lost my top (still got a hoarse voice). I think I actually frightened them to sleep, I was that cross with them. I have to come up with something tomorrow, as that was NOT amusing to me at the time! (however reading back over it, it is sort of funny - maybe next week!)
OK, I have let off steam now, back to the rest of the day, which apart from the weather (someone forgot to tell it it is July not November!). I got a lot of jobs done and the boys played nicely together. This morning we went for a walk, they thought it was great as we went to the woods (well only really a little tiny bit). They recited "We're going on a bear hunt" in the woods. So cute!

I have done a few layouts over the last few days which I never got around to posting here so, here they are.
First up are two I made using Liz's new Grab bag at Been there Scrapped That, if you've got girls, you need to go and get it, its a great deal.
This first is Mia on the beach in England.

for the next one I used Val Gouveia's - Little Boy Kit again available too at Been There Scrapped That
This was for the "Mix my Scrapbook Challenge" at Been There Scrapped That. We had to use the word "mix", 3 papers, 1 ribbon, 3 Stars, 1 frame and at least 1 button. I foudn it difficult. Mum helped me with the word "mix", and we then let the boys "pick'N'mix" their own sweeties, so I could get some pictures for the layout! Talk about scrapping taking over! Anyway here is the layout!

OK I think that's all for today
Bye 4 now

Another layout with my kit!!

I am so excited, I was browsing the DSO Gallery this morning and I found this (well it jumped out at me actually!)

Layout by Karen (girabotdot)
Ruby Tuesday by KayJay (still get a giggle writing that!)

I just had to write and ask if I could post it on my blog, and she said she would be honoured. Karen, it is me that is honoured! It's a great layout, I love the look of that house (in Claremore, OK), and even if I say so myself I think my papers do it justice. Great way of journalling too. I love it.
Karen has only recently started digi-scrapping and has now ventured into entering some challenges - so are you addicted like the rest of us, yet?!
By the way her layout is linked to her gallery, so do pop by and leave her some love! She would really appreciate that (but don't we all?!)

Speaking of challenges, I got a layout done for the ABC Challenge at Been There Scrapped That.
It's Robert and Richard go-karting at a farm, come zoo, come playground in England. They had a great time, and it was Richards first time that he could actually reach the pedals!

Now about our family life. Richard had to go to the doctors for his check up this morning and the doctor was very pleased with him. It is all looking OK, well as OK as it can after only being operated on yesterday! Richard is only really in pain, when changing his nappy, so that is good news. and I am really really careful!
Mum stayed the night and looked after Robert again, whilst Richard and I were at the doctors, which was a HUGE help. We took Mum to the station this afternoon and waved as she went by, we got a bit wet as the boys insisted on waving to more than just Nanna's train, and it then started raining! Never mind.
Soon after that we had to go to another station to pick Florian up! So more trains for the boys!
As you can see, quite uneventful today.
Oh, just remembered something, do you remember about my rabbit and my neighbours rabbit escaping and having a bit of hanky panky in the bushes! Well, the neighbours rabbit is now busy building a nest!!!! Watch this space!!!
This morning the possible future father went to visit his love! Only he should have been locked in his hutch, so I was out in the garden at just after 7am chasing a rabbit - can you imagine the picture! Well the boys were up at the bathroom window laughing and giggling as I chased the rabbit - who is not in my good books today! Shame no one got a picture really, as in the end I threw myself at the rabbit to get him, he is quite speedy!
OK, bye 4 now
