Childhood Museum, Main Museum and Peter and the Wolf

Yesterday we got the bus into Edinburgh's Old town and visited the childhood Museum. Murray had been here a couple of weeks ago with granny and grandad Carlisle. So he was keen to show us where he'd been and seen the toys. Eilidh got dressed up in the old clothes.

And Murray found a new big sister. I first thought this statue was real and she kept giving me a fright.
Then we walked up to the Museum in Chamber Street and had a wee look round before Eilidh realised she'd left her hat behind in the Childhood Museum. So we had to walk all the way back and luckily we found it. We then walked back to Chamber street where we met Granny Barnes for the Peter and the Wolf Show. The show was very good and not long at all and the children sat so well, even though it was teatime. It was an easy bedtime last night.

We Went to the Zoo

Although it was cold we nipped up to the zoo. We got the bus and arrived at the zoo for 10am. After a we wander round we played in the park and it started to snow!!!

Eilidh's Dance Show 2008

It's that time of year again. E's dance show. This year she has done Ballet and Flamenco. She danced very very well and we were very proud of her.

Eilidh's 8

Eilidh was 8 last Friday. She came charging through at 6,30am and started to open her presents from us in bed. She got a Webkinz from Murray. Books, Pixel chix and an MP3 player from us. Then started moaning that she never got her bike which was actually downstairs. Both children got dressed and it was a brekkie of pancakes before going to school for the Burns Day Assembly.

After school I collected her and 4 friends from school and we headed home for a party. We were joined by family and other close friends. We made our own party bags, (which were smaller than I wanted them to be.) had a gorgeous lunch of sandwiches, Sausage rolls, cocktail sticks, sausages, crisps etc then a huge platter of various home made cakes.

Using a fairy cake we sang happy birthday to the birthday girl.

Then instead of birthday cake we made birthday biscuits with homebaked biscuits, icing sugar and various sweets.

After everyone went home we had some birthday cake. Home baked by mummy.



Then we went out just the 4 of us for a lovely dinner at the Peach Garden.


Over all a lovely day was had a various reports say that it was just the best party ever!

Winter Wonderland

We went to Winter Wonderland. It was a bit of a disappointment this year but us girlies went Ice Skating.

All Eilidh wants for Christmas is.......

Here 2 front teeth. She's lost both n0w meaning she has lost 4 teeth to date.
