these are some photos I have already put on facebook, but if you don't look on there you wouldn't have seen them. Above is Rosie after her halloween twisting tots party dressed as a spider, although she wasn't very well that week and she ended up napping in the afternoon which she never does now! Bless her.

And below is Finley as a pumpkin. Cute or what? we've had a very productive day with Rosie being at nursery. We've cleaned, tidied, washed, dried and ironed clothes (I never iron so that is a treat!), dinner in the oven, we've done the weekly shopping, I've wrapped Tim's 30th birthday pressies, wrapped some Christmas pressies and even managed to squeeze in a nap with Finley this afternoon! Lovely day!
Chat soon, am taking lots of videos on my camera at the mo as I realised I took loads when Rosie was a baby but haven't remembered to take many of Finley yet. Going to put some on a DVD for the family at some point when we have a spare minute (maybe in 2013 we'll get a spare moment to do it?)

Ant and Gareth are weaning Rebecca at the moment, and we will be weaning Finley in a month or so, it got me looking through Rosie's videos and i found this one... it is so weird looking back at how Rosie was - feels like yesterday she was finley's age and we started weaning her and now she's such a mini grown up... adorable!

Busy few weeks

What a crazy time we're having. Finley is a NIGHTMARE sleeper, bless him. He is so cute and chilled out but wakes 4 or more times a night... This week I had a flat tyre, Rosie was sick in the night so was off nursery on her Thursday, Oscar needed to go to the vet with a poorly leg and then Einstein wouldn't let Oscar back in the house so we had to get them some of those cat pheromones! Luckily it's worked and they are friends again now.

Below is Rosie with her new hospital bag we made when she was poorly. She's been making all her dollies and teddy bears well again.
This week was Twisting Tots halloween party, luckily it was before Rosie got ill so she managed to go, she also won the prize for best costume! She was a spider and had home-made legs! Finley looked rather gorgeous as a pumpkin (it was Rosie's old costume from when she was little, luckily he just about squeezed in but his bum kept popping out the poppers at the back!)
Rosie and Finley, next to their friends Pheobe and her baby brother Laurie.







Rosie playing with my old sylvanian families whilst Finley watches her, he loves watching her! So cute.
Not sure if I put this photo on already but I love it...
Finley is now big enough to go in his jumperoo (it was Rosie's 1st Christmas present), he hasn't yet worked out that he can move his legs to make it bounce and make music, he just dangles but does like it! He smiles lots when he's in it.

Rosie helping me do my cleaning, she is getting very good at hoovering!

On Monday she insisted on wearing her tutu! How cute does she look, we did go to chuckle butties like that and she almost took off like an aeroplane at the bottom of the slide she went that fast!!!

Best scoot, bye xxx
