Picture courtesy of Amelie :) 

I think she's done a smashing job. It's really focused on his face, well done Amelie :) 

This is our other rabbit Gepetto who visited the vets yesterday. He's a really out going rabbit usually but he seems a lot more tender than she was. 

He even has wet eyes like he's been upset :(

Poor bunny.

I had a day helping out a buddy decorate her new house. That was fun with lots of chatting :) Whilst another good friend watched my crazy babies. 

Thank you to all of you, you know who you are.

Being a model today. 

In mummy's dress :)

I remember when I was younger I loved dressing up in my mum's clothes and shoes. Tottering around pretending to be an adult. She has just started wanting to do everything I do. The way i get out the bath, the way i brush my hair, helping me do all my jobs. 

She's so pretty with her gorgeous brown eyes and beautiful coloured hair. 

She did have a pair of my pj bottoms on her head too when she first came down to act as her long hair. Bless her.

 School this year too. She is growing up fast.

I don't think it's a secret that for most parents this time of day helps them get through 'one of those days'.

I am always in awe of how sweet, quiet and innocent they look whilst they're asleep.

Finding them in their crazy positions too!

Notice when you go to see your sleeping children, that you are petrified if they start to move, Ha ha!

Just like his Daddy ;)

Aww our little man slept through last night.

Despite not actually having much to eat before he went to bed. I don't know how he works honestly!

He woke up at 6.30...ugh...then back to sleep by 8.30 till 10.

AND THEN back to sleep again at 12 for half an hour. Lazy man!

He's had a good go at eating his chicken dinner today. He even managed to put peas and sweet corn in his mouth. Really proud of him!

Wish me luck for another full nights sleep!

A bit of night photography.

I love the effect my camera did with it. Want to do some more now! 

We had a lovely day with family. Four tired out children.

Amelie sleeps like her daddy catching flies and Arthur like his mummy peaceful with a touch of tension ;)

News on Emily, the rabbit. She has been really pulling her fur out but I think it's more due to stress with her other rabbit jumping on her all the time. The garden is full of her fur. So she's back cosy and warm inside. And I have noticed she is not pulling her fur out inside. She's back to sprawling out like a dog!

Happy weekend everyone!

Attempted Arthur's Passport picture today. Only problem with it is it has shadow on it.

Have a few without I might try but this was my favourite :)

He is such a handsome fellow isn't he. 

Still not sleeping through the little beast!

Hope everyone doesn't have too much snow :( We may have to start doing some sort of sun dance!

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!!! They love each other so much it's so touching. 

I hope they will be BFF's. 

I hope there able to depend upon each other and always take care of each other. 

We had a little play date with Mrs. O this afternoon too. 

I think she enjoyed herself even though Arthur attacked her straight away :/

Lovely day :) Starting badly, but ending nicely.

Looking forward to another lovely day tomorrow and some sunshine please!!

Yes, I really do like it when the black dog sits on my light carpet just after I hoover it!!

Loves with the Amelie too.

Counting down the days now seems to be making time go slower.

Each...day...counting...down...

But at least in reality it's really not a long time to wait even though it feels like a life time. 

We're ready to be a family again!!

Little man likes to have a little stand near the sofa but he doesn't last long once he has what he wants....the remote!!

Still no teeth and a lot of rash and pain :(

We've had a lovely weekend, with a sleep over with the parents.

The mother-in-law and I did a ladies night at the cinema to see The Great Oz in 3D it was really good.

Then Amelie and I did mother and daughter time at the cinema to see The Croods in 3D which was fantastic, is it wrong I think I enjoyed the kids film more? Amelie wasn't keen on the glasses at first but then she thought it was fantastic things were coming out of the screen! There wasn't too much crazy out  of screen stuff going on to scare her off!

Anyway for anyone with children Amelie's age and above they would love this! We thought it was really funny :)

Then of course it seemed right to be a chipmunk family.

We look cool though, right?!

When I came downstairs this morning Amelie said she had made me something...

I didn't see it at first but I got a closer look and she made me heart :)

She's so creative.

Baking at Jan's.

I think the girls pretty much scraped the bowl so that it didn't need washing.

We had a lovely day with the ladies in their fabulous newly built house. 

What an awesome kitchen! I want one!

I'm freezing!

Lazy day inside, away from the cold.

Arthur has already had a 2 and half hour sleep this morning so I'm shocked he has gone to sleep again this afternoon, rather late too may I add!

I'm hoping this doesn't mean a late night and uneasy sleep.

He does have major kissable lips when he's sleeping, little cutie he is :)

On other news Emily is healing nicely and has been outside with her man friend today. He is very excitable with her still though poor women. Don't think I dare leave her in there for the night incase he chews her stitches her hurts her accidentally.

Hope your all looking forward to the weekend!

Yey! Had a bit of a break through with Arthur today. 

I gave him chicken and bacon pie for his tea and usually he will pick at it and try some. But today he picked it all up, had really good chews on everything and really enjoyed it :)

He followed up with some strawberries which he also did really well with chewing. 

So hopefully we can say goodbye to pureed stuff and he will stop being fussy and eat what his Mama makes him!

Every time we try it gets easier to put plaits in for her :)

Even though she moans.

I can't believe how gentle Amelie has been nursing her Emily. 

It was a tough day for Emily. She's a shy rabbit, but she has had to be put in a cage taken to a vets and left the comfort of her usual surroundings and away from her friend.

It wasn't a tough decision to have her spayed but it was tough when the vet rang and told me she's here on the table ready but she's pregnant. Making that decision to abort her babies was upsetting. If I knew she would have healthy babies I would not have chosen to abort them but unfortunately she carries a gene that seriously deforms the babies.

I could not cope with experiencing that and then having to have them put down. They both carry it so it's probable most, if not all of them, would have had the condition.

She didn't really like the vet and made her feelings clear. 

Thankfully she came home and didn't mind having cuddles with me and Amelie :)

We hope she's better soon and reunited with her Gepetto.

Some mothers are caring,

Some are thoughtful, 

Some are there for you anytime you need them. 

Others have hearts big enough to love 4 children and still love more!

There's one certain women who is all of these things. We have had our ups and downs and come through stronger and better for it. You know your loved when you can say how you feel and have little tiffs and sort things out :)

I never knew there was such a women, until I found the love of my life.

He is lucky enough to have had her there his whole life. 

And now I'm lucky enough to be taken under her ever loving arms.

So thank you Lesley for letting me into your heart and always being there for me, and not because I'm married to your son. You always make me feel like I have my own special place.

You are a wonderful women.

Thank you for your son and thank you for your everlasting support xxx

Love you

Happy Mothers Day!

Sometimes Mummy needs to have some fun with the girls ;)

I LOVE PEPLUM!! 

Have a lovely weekend everyone! I'm off to eat lots and hopefully dance it all off!

Happy World book day :)

We didn't dress up today because Amelie wasn't at school. We also went to soft play so didn't want her to trip over herself. 

Arthur is being a cheeky chappy lately!

His eyes are so beautiful and his face is so cute. 

Its hard to make him look at the camera because he loves looking at the flash!!

I'm really looking forward to venturing more into the world of Photography and learning a new trade. 

But I must admit I don't think I could ever stop doing my hairdressing. Especially wedding/prom type hair. It sets me free to really experiment on people's hair. Taking my ideas and the clients thoughts and creating a masterpiece!

And the plus side is I can always do a clients hair before the shoot.

So it will be the best of both for me :)

The many face's of Arthur in the space of 5 minutes!

The Connor face...

and again!

Hey you!

Yeah that's right, I'm major cute!!

:( Little man has suffered with his teeth tonight :(

Even flashing a camera at him didn't stop him wanting to be out of that bath pronto!

This is how he has been in the bath for the past few days. He grabs the side bar straight away stands up and shouts until I get him out. 

But on a plus side I can definitely see a tiny little bit of white that's going to pop through.

It's about time!

I'm hoping as one gets out the rest will just all break through in quick time.

We have had a lazy Sunday morning and then a busy afternoon with family.

Little man was a bit grumpy this afternoon. But you can see those rosy cheeks are probably the reason why. He's only been suffering for MONTHS!! I wonder if we will get one out before Daddy's returns home?

I hope he doesn't suffer for too much longer :(

Wonderful day at bedesworld.

The sun was shining, Amelie and Arthur were well behaved, great company and PLENTY of cake!

I wonder what Amelie wished for?

Children have so many dreams. Aspirations. Amazing imaginations. 

The thoughts that go through their tiny minds, I imagine, are full of colour and hope. 

So here's hoping the 3 wishes she made come true.

If in doubt put the baby in the wash basket...

My poorly man still gets every where (backwards) he wants to be in to things, round things, on things, under it! You name it he wants involved! So whilst I tried to do some tidying in the kitchen instead of letting him pull it onto himself again, I simply put him in it :)

I also found out today that our dear sweet Emma rabbit is in fact NOT who she claims to be! She is now Gepetto! So Emily is visiting the vets next week and hopefully there will be no mishaps before then or someone will kindly lend me a hutch to separate them for a while.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! We are now on the 5 weeks 6 day count down!
