Sunshine on a rainy day



It's been a bit wet here lately so we've been inside a lot! It gets a little wild at times.... Yesterday I came up with a little bit of sticking to make the day more pleasant. First we made a rainbow collage on half a paper plate, then we made suns out of card & glitter & lastly we made fluffy storm clouds! I threaded them altogether when the boys had gone to bed with 3 shiny raindrops on one of the clouds. The boys loved seeing them today & sang 'It's raining it's pouring' for quite a long time after we had hung them up! Lots of fun!
Timmy & Luke spent a few days at my parents house so Jordan & I got organised for when the baby arrives & also painted his ceramic piggy bank that his Godparents bought for his last birthday. He was really pleased with it when it was finished! And unexpectedly, Timmy & Luke's Godparents gave them each a ceramic piggy bank each this week too so everyone is happy! ;O)
So we are as ready as we will be for little baby to arrive now I reckon! The cot is made up, the car seat is washed, the clothes have been sorted & hospital bags have been packed! the boys have enjoyed seeing all their old baby things again & remembering when they were babies too...
And here is our fantastic all singing all dancing Silver Cross pram that we bought for a bargain price on eBay at the beginning of the month! (Photo complete with washing line in the background just for you mum!) the pram is also a carry cot & has a separate stand so we can use it as a cot at night too. Can't wait to start using it! Little baby will be like Lady Davies travelling around in it!!
Hope everyone who reads our blog is well. do post us a comment if you pass by- we love to hear from you!

Was it a coincidence that your blog and latest news about the newly arranged home for baby number four was entitled 'Sunshine on a rainy day'? it's very apt because that's the first line to a favourite song of mine: My Girl!
Everything looks lovely at the Daviesnest.

Am rather inspired over your suns and clouds ideas! Might well use the idea for when James starts school~as the mornings will have to be filled before he goes off to school in the afternoons at first! So, that and lemonade and loo roll bumble bees may be in order if I get my act together! Love the pram too! Very classy! Have a great week! xxx

it wasn't hot or itchy! although my back ached becuase we did it standing up! lol. maybe the vaseline helped with the itchyness? also we used a hairdryer to speed up the drying process lol!
