Congratulations to Darryl and Nicki who had a little baby girl yesterday, this is what we got from Darryl - "much to Seb's disgust Nicky didn't have a puppy, or even a boy as we thought was going to be the case but a little girl 7lb 12oz, and with no name". Kids aye, don't you love 'em.

The boys have been really getting into the painting and being creative lately, here are the boys paintings they did tonight. Cody is doing descriptive writing at school at the moment, so has been doing lots of writing at home, this is what he wrote the other day, we had to have a laugh His name is Kurt. He has black hare and black eays too. He is anoying. He is good at ragbe and soker and jotso too."

Cody has got mufti day at school tomorrow, so he has just gone and put on his clothes for tomorrow, he said he is going to sleep in them, so he doesn't forget it's muffti tomorrow. The last few days he has been going to bed with his undies on his head, and the other night with his undies and Road Runner poking out the side of them.
