We are off....

... on a little break tomorrow for a few days. We are lucky enough to be staying at Cclasps new respite cottage in Perth from Monday til Friday. So we are hoping that the weather will be kind to us. Not really got much planned will take each day as it comes.

Monday was pretty uneventful, Adam and Scott went to the holiday club at the community centre and the rest of us had a chill out day. Adam restarted his chemotherapy for 3 weeks. Paul, Marc and Scott went to a Siblings Evening at the Sick Kids tonight. This is an annual event for siblings to meet others in a similar situation, to see around the hospital, to chat about their worries and ask questions about treatments etc. They also had a craft time and pizza! Paul is making up a special Memory Book with Pictures of him and Adam with the help of Helen , the play specialist from ward 2.

Tuesday we went to West Calder, it was 20 years since my granny had died and we went to the cemetry with flowers then we went to visit my Auntie Jean for lunch but as we were arriving unannounced we took lunch with us. The boys enjoyed running around playing in her garden. They then had a birthday Party at Clownaround so it was all go!

Wednesday we had our biannual family outing to the dentist! They must love it when we go, we take over the place. LOL As the weather was pretty bad we decided to go to the cinema with the boys to see Wall-e. They had been asking for a few weeks to go and it was really good. A nice story and some really funny bits. I love kids movies!

Also while I am talking about the cinema I forgot last week that my lovely friend Nic took me to the cinema to see Mamma Mia, it was great - just what the doctor ordered a real feel good film, although Pierce Brosnan can't sing! Cheers Nic!

Thursday, another quite day. David came and took Paul and Marc to the cinema to see The Dark Knight, which they seemed to really enjoy.

Friday another quite day, weather was pants! Saturday weather was still pants! LOL Paul went to the cinema with Madge, Frank, Alan and Liam to see The Mummy 3 - had a lovely time - thanks for taking him!

Saturday night I managed a night out with some of my playground chums, a chance for us to chat up before we hit the playground a week on Wenesday. Not the I am counting or anything but it is only 10 sleeps til they go back! woo hoo!

Today was spent getting ready for going away and to give Adam a chacne to relax today, he been a little under the weather with an upset tummy but seems better today.

Anyway am off for now, will catch up again soon!
