Decoration

We (actually mostly Lynda) have been decorating Hannah's bedroom. We started about six weeks ago, but as ever, it took longer than we had expected.
Hannah wanted a "red" colour scheme, but agreed to neutral walls and just red for the accessories and curtains.
So in six weeks it has gone from blown plaster walls with a Pooh Bear border, to a much more suitable looking room for an 11 year old.

Even Oscar seems ok with the new look. This is a relief, as he hasn't been well for the last week. He had picked up some sort of virus it seems. After several trips to the vet for check-ups and blood tests he is a lot better, and back out roaming the neighbourhood.

Fourteen!

Zoe had some friends round on Saturday to help celebrate her birthday. As it was also Bonfire Night we threw caution to the wind, and let them wave sparklers around and cook marshmallows over the firepit! A good time seemed to be had by all.

Time to sparkle!

Hannah was 11 as well......

It was obviously Hannah's birthday too. She had some friends round to do some arts and crafts themed activities, which included each girl colouring a pair of white plimsolls. It was really nice that they all sat in the dining room chatting away to each other about all sorts of things. You have to observe in stark contrast to the boys at Daniel's party, who couldn't sit still for more than a few minutes!
