February was just a regular lazy month! We had a little Snow, went on some trips and had family time. The highlight was my baby boy being a Standard Bearer for Scouts. He made me so proud!

Week 9 - Layout -"So Lucky"
It occurred to me that I very rarely scrap about Robert! Probably because a) we never get pics taken together and b) I tend to be snap happy in day time when he's at work! So this week I took a snapshot from the party we were at. The light was terrible and it was real dark, but I edited it a bit and it became usable. So here is a layout of me and Robert having a cuddle! I really am lucky to have such a cutie in my life :)
Week 9 - 25th February - 3rd March 2010
February seems to have flown by, we had a real lazy week.. nothing exciting. We did spend a few hours partying with friends. We ended up playing "Dance Fever" on Wii.. fun times!!! Not much to report, so it's layout time!
Oh... but we did have some SNOW again!
Week 8 - Layout - "Standard Bearer"
Because I'm a little far behind I'm cheating and using this great Scout themed Quick Page I found!
Week 8 - 18th to 24th February 2010
I had one of those tearful, proud Mamma moments this past weekend!! The Scouts were having thier Annual Founder's Day service in honor of Lord Baden Powell's birthday (22nd February), so me and Gran J trooped off to church with Christopher all dressed smartly in his uniform. His leader Ruth sent us to sit indside the Chapel as it was cold, keeping Christopher inside. I turned around after a few minutes and through the rear window into the entry hall I caught sight of my little man, huge grin plastered on his face, getting strapped into the harness to carry the royal standard.
He'd tried to do it for Rememberance Day and was just an inch too short, but this time he made it and he was so proud. For the non-scout mammas (and pappas) At the beginning of every parade or service they always perform "trooping of the Colours" each pack in attendance has one scot or cub carry the troop flag and one carry the royal standard. He looked so wonderful in his uniform and his little white gloves.. The pole was twice his height but he managed to make it all the way to present the Chief Scout and the Father with the colours. He then had to repeat it for the salute to the colours at the close!
Of course you aren't strictly meant to take photographs in chapel.. but I'm a mamma.. I need a record of this.. so I hide behind the pews with my camera! The photos are fairly blurry!
I'll get a lay out done with them ASAP!
Week 7 - 12th to 17th February
I've fallen behind a little the last few weeks! I should be thinking about Week 11.. but ahh well!
During week 7 I took Christopher out for the day with my friend Fiona! We had a total blast visiting several of the museums in town. We hopped on a bus into town, then travelled up to Kelvingrove Art Gallery where we looked around the natural history , local history and Egyptian areas.. we skipped the paintings etc.. that's not Christopher's thing! Then we crossed over the road to The Transport Museum which I have loved since I was a young child! It's so good to see all the old cars and trains and buses etc.. We got to sit on one of the new trains which will be released this September and I fell in love with a gorgeous old Jaguar in Racing Green.
Can I have it?
Can I have it?
We stopped off to grab lunch from Greggs then hopped on the bus down to People's Palace. WE sat and ate our lunch by the Doulton Fountain.
Then we headed home.. Tired but happy. It was a wonderful day! I also got my current favourite picture that day....
