I always seem to be playing catch up!! I think I have stretched myself too thin!!! Net year I MUST focus and keep up to date!!!
October has been a busy month for us, so lets round up a little
Week 40 - 30th September to 6th October
I'm super proud of Christopher! He did his Yellow belt grading and ACED it! He wasn't corrected even once by Master Rooney, even though many of the higher ranked students were! I was very proud of him!!
Week 41 - 7th to 13th October 2010
I went to visit my sister Heather in Dundee, what an epic trek. First off my train broke down! I missed my bus and had to buy another ticket! Then there was a huge accident on the road and I was diverted!! The journey took around 7 hours instead of 2 hours!!! On the plus side i got a lot of studying done!! I spent the night with her and we had a great time. We don't see each other much. She's the next oldest out of the four of us.. by 5 years, and its took some time before we became friends. We watched a movie, hit the pub and went out for lunch.
It was Robert's birthday, so we went for a meal and to the pub quiz to celebrate.
Week 42 - 14th - 20th October
It was camp time again!!! Christopher went on a "back to basics" camp at
Avondyke. The boys slept in tents, cooked on the fire, washed in the stream and made what they needed to use! They also hiked back to Larkhall to go swimming. They came home Cold, dirty and tired.. but had a blast!!!
Week 43 - 21st - 27th October
Our main activities this week just revolved around preparing for Hallowe'en and hanging out with Rogue who is getting so big its almost scary!! His favourite thing is to snuggle with someone's clothes.. Here he is stealing my Hoodie! He went to the vets to be Castrated and the poor little guy just slept so much on coming home. We had to feed him scrambled egg and chicken as he couldn't eat regular dog food. Then we snuggled in bed later and he shared some chicken with me!
Week 44 - 28th October to 3rd November
It's Hallowe'en week! That means Costumes, pumpkins, baking and more!! Christopher dressed as a Ninja and took 1st prize at the Scouts party! I ended up baking cupcakes galore and making toffee apples! Eeeeeep! My whole kitchen was coated in toffee! Even Rogue!!!
