Time flies when you're having fun!!!

Time flies when you're having fun!!! Well that's my excuse for not posting on here for a week!! Craig and Kira have been here and there has been so much going on, kids got trips etc at school.

Anyway, all going well to date, Adam is getting quite a bit of discomfort around his ears now and they have a red (sunburnt) looking ring around them, this is a result of the radiotherapy and possibly the sun too. He has steroid cream (mild dose - so no demon child!!) and also a moisturising cream. Other than that he is still holding his own, and still very active - we were looking for signs of tiredness but we are still looking!!! Typical Adam, can't do anything by the book!!!
Here is a round up of our activities over the last week and a bit and some photos too. A few of Scooby and Scrappy too of their antics the last week!

Thanks for taking the time to check this blog and special mention to Jim (man we met at the Western) - thanks for remembering and taking the time. It is appreciated - and yeah you are right I can eat!!! LOL

Ok, where did I get up to before.....??? errmmm..... oh yeah, sportsday......so next ...

THURSDAY (12th) - Today we had our weekly trip to the sick kids, Adams bloods were fine again this week but we were upset in learning that Dr Buddy was returning to Dundee the following week, boo hoo, he is great. After the sick kids we had our local community newspaper visit us as they would like to publish a story about Adam to let people know how he is etc, and also gives us the opportunity to thank everyone locally for their continued support too, using the latest school picture in the paper too, it is lovely.




FRIDAY - After school today we went bowling with Craig and Kira, Kira has never bowled before and I think she really enjoyed it, needless to say Uncle Craig won - I mean he couldn't possibly let one of his nephews beat him, he would never hear the end of it!!

SATURDAY - This was our community funday at the community centre, I took the boys round and Paul and Marc were in charge of a stall, thanks Michelle for making loads of tablet for us to hand in, it is so lovely the boys bought 10 bars back!!!

SUNDAY - We had a BBQ at Stuart and Dionne's, it was a lovely day and Uncle Ron and Aunty Ann were there from Kilmarnock and Auntie Jean was there too. The kids ran themselves ragged for 4 hours, they had so much fun.




MONDAY & TUESDAY - These two days were a little quieter as Craig and Kira decided to go up north for a day or two, borrowed the car, tent and sleeping bags and headed off. Normal routine for us though!

WEDNESDAY - What a great day! After radio therapy we had to go to school with Adam to "Meet the Teacher", he is very lucky he will be in the same class as his best mate, Calum, and they are very, very lucky to be getting Mrs Howie as their teacher - she will have to keep an eye on those two cheeky monkeys!! After leaving the school we took adam, Calum, his mum and nana for lunch at Brewsters - it was brill, the boys were arguing over silly things, brought a tear to my eye seeing them acting so normal with each other - ha ha. After lunch we popped into Ocean Terminal shopping centre and paid a visit to the build a bear workshop where Calum and Adam bought each other a teddy/monkey for starting school. Adam got a monkey, which he named Ollie after calum's toy monkey Ollie and Calum named his teddy Adam after his best mate! So cute!

Ok, a few more days still to go, will pop back later to do these - I promise!!!!!

Scooby and Scrappy.................what have they been up to?????

Monday - bowling/skittles

Blowing bubbles on Tuesday

Scrappy in training - skipping on Wednesday.




Thursday was gun fight at the OK Corral - water pistols!!!


Friday is card day - playing snap!

it's great to see you having such a good week. I enjoyed seeing real photos of you all bowling rather than me just imagining the airport was a bowling alley :-)

It was brilliant seeing you at the girls night on Tuesday. I am SO looking forward to seeing Joseph (but especially the baker) on Tuesday. I wish I'd been able to see Craig whilst he was here...perhaps he might still be around this week.

Anyway, the school photo is lovely and the boys look so angelic....who says the camera never lies! You know I'm only joking but it's the nice thing about videos cameras isn't it catching the boys livelyness and energy. Anyway, I blethered away.

Love to ALL the boys in your life Spike, Paul, Marc, Scott, Adam, Craig and Stuart

and lots of love from me and the man in my life, Stuart

Take care

Hi Lynn

Was great reading what you've all been upto. I don't know how you find the time.

You're welcome by the way for the tablet.

Hope you don't mind, I've copied the boys picture, it's lovely.

Hope Joseph went well last night, sorry I couldn't be there.

Will hand some more home baking over soon.

Love to you all

I`ve been away ,but glad I`ve been able to catch up on how things are going.

Sounds like you have had a very busy couple of weeks.

So glad things are going ok and Adams treatment isnt holding him back from doing all those fabulous things.
