    Buttons, you scots have crazy holidays :p
    I don't think Chris's nursery has half term with it not being attached to a school but Mum doesn't break up for a week at least
    Actually, it's the English that do. I remember as a kid I used to get well annoyed that cartoons never came on the TV during the day until the 2nd week of hols usually. We did get budgie the helicopter in Gaelic though....

    Accch in frooga blahhga HELICOPTER!

    October holidays here (also known as tattie holidays, as i believe this is when farmers used to hire people to pick their spuds) are usually 2 weeks long, but I know England gets May "half term" which is a week, which we don't get. So it's the same amount of holidays, but just spread differently :D

    Keira is getting 3 weeks though as her nursery is finally moving back to the original place as the school has been built and that means WAHOOOOO it's only 2 minutes from the house, as opposed to the 20minute walk home, it's getting into winter now, I'd loathe to walking home on ice!

    See I don't understand baby led weaning, I gave Keira purees and stuff she could eat herself like toast and biscottis and fruit etc, maybe I was being unsafe like but :rotfl: I used to just stick her in her highchair (but I was like Beccles and fed her in bouncy chair before that) shot the food on and left her too it, if she choked, she regurgitated it herself, I called it the "Lazy food days" :o

    I'm clearly doing something wrong: I never run out of stuff to do although I do procrastinate a lot.

    I'm sure I could find something that needs doing if I really wanted too. :o

    Will someone oleos tell me that E will stop blowing raspberries while eating soon? It was funny to begin with but now it's not, everywhere and everyone ends up in a total mess!

    But it is so funny when they first do it! :rotfl:

    V can now blow bubbles into her drink with her straw. And she thinks burps are really funny and laughs when she does one, then does fake ones to laugh again. :rotfl:

    I think we've got next week in school before a week off.


    Red and Krystal i'd really love to pop by and do your ironing, but I have to go to school in a hour.


    Ooh, drama at school yesterday. Some cheeky B stole a bike from the bike sheds just before the end of the school day. The story spread round the school that a purple bike had been stolen, on the very day L had gone in on her brand new purple bike!
    It wasn't hers, it was a very flash BMX belonging to a yr 6 boy. The cheeky B had stood at the locked school gates waiting for the caretaker to open them at 3pm, then walked in, picked a bike and rode off on it! Several parents saw him standing there and just assumed he was there to collect a child. :eek:

    That babygrows are infamous :rotfl: Look how cute and squashy Charlotte looks. I remember Keira was all cute and fat as a baby, had rolls on her rolls :rotfl:

    Once she started moving the fat melted off, shame that as fat babies are dead cute! I just love chubby cheeks on kids :D

    Oh lol look what I just found

    Im back from the visit to the outdoor nursery! it was amazing and we love it :)
    The teachers were lovely and went over eveything, they have been given funding from the lottery and will be getting a yurt and stove for the winter. The kids have a garden area they go to once a month that has a big metal cage lol! wheelbarrows and lots of wooden toys. The rest of the time they spend in the woods making swings, building fires and climbing trees! the only problem i see with it is that the kids have a canopy area where they toilet outside, i think Charlie may enjoy peeing outdoors a little too much!!!!

    We have booked his place to start in Jan and i need to get looking for neoprene wellies and waterproofs along with thermals! It really is in the middle of no where. Charlie had fun however was a monster when a group of girls came to play, he told them to 'shut up'. when one of them told him they didnt know what he was saying he said very slow and loud 'you shut up' hopefully this stops soon and he makes friends???

    Am off to warm up and will be back soon :)
