New arrivals x

These are the newest members to the family, darwin the boy who is at the back and the other one is a female and we have'nt decided on a name yet, she was called valarie but i don't really like that name and we kept darwins name.

Aww, there really cute. Abit shy yet. The girl is better than the boy. Hopefully they'll settle in ok :)

Morning all,

I'm not feeling to great.

My throat and ear are sore and i've had really bad lower back pain since friday night and i'm having trouble sleeping because of it :( so i'm really tired, run down and sore.

Were taking kobe out today for his birthday and i'm not in the mood, hoping to wake up abit and for my back to ease up abit too.

Theres a thin layer of either snow or hail outside aswell, it's only just above freezing too. Brr xx

Brrr!!

I'm officially freezing!!!

Just had lunch, going to make another cup of coffee, chill out for abit and i have a dress from work to sew as one of the kids split it and then i've got to take kobe to the docters as he has some spots on his face which look abit blistery, just want to get them checked out.

I think the heating will be going on soon tho!!!

Been waiting for my candy to arrive that i won a month ago, it hasn't arrived yet because of bad weather and everything, really looking forward to getting it tho and having a play with all the new stamps and things :) i'm hoping it comes this week in time for half term :)
