Heatwave

Wow what weather there has been lately here! Sun, sun and more sun!! Could get really used to this. Especially the not having to worry about where on earth the hang all the wet washing in the house till it dries - chuck it all out in the morning and by lunch its dry! Fandabby!! I didn't know two little people could create so much washing :)
We've been at the beach almost every day for the last few weeks. The kids have turned into such water babies. Its great watching them running around without a care in the world just enjoying life! Just wish it would help the wee man sleep at night. He's still up a couple of times through the night which is a nightmare. He's no hassle or anything its just a case of letting him know your there and he goes back off to sleep - but its still very disruptive. Oh what I would do for a full nights sleep no interruptions!!
The only one not enjoying all this sun is the poor dog :( But he loves getting to the beach cos he spends all his time in the water with the kids. I think he should have been born a duck!!
Went up to Stornoway for the shopping last week, forgetting that Sommerfield had closed - duh - and had to go to the co-op. Man was that expensive. They should have seats at the end of the checkouts so you can sit when they tell you your bill! Its not even as if we had anything extravagant, just the basics and it cost a fortune. We don't smoke or drink so I really don't know how people that do cope. We used to smoke but when we got pregnant we both stopped for the sake of the baby, and thank god we did! Never mind Tesco will be here soon so hopefully that will ease the shopping bill a bit. I hope they take up some clothes cos their kiddie clothes are absolutely brilliant and great value for money. Such a shame so many things have to revolve round money, no matter how much you wish that wasn't the case!
Might take the kids to the park in a wee bit to try and tire them out a bit. Although the back garden pretty much looks like a playpark - all their missing is a seasaw! Theres a great park over in Scalpay so might venture over that way with them. We were planting seeds the other day and already theres some sprouting happening in one of the pots - just hope its not weeds!! They loved getting their hands dirty, the wee man doesn't need an excuse though! And my wee girl is loving her responsibility of having to water all her plants shes growing inside and out! You never know maybe shes the next Charlie Dimmock in the making!!
Well I hope everyone else is enjoying the sun and all the beautiful sights you can see in this weather - there's no denying the islands landscape is breathtaking especially when the sun is a shining!!
