Linc and Carter go to Jackson's birthday party

Jackson is Linc's best mate at school. And we hear a lot about Jackson. The upside is that Linc and Carter got invited to Jackson's birthday party at the Reptile Centre; it was actually very cool (even for big people) as they had a number of lizards, turtles and snakes for everybody to touch. Linc and Carter did really well and behaved for Dad (as Mum was at work) and didn't break anything (I think).

A python that looks very much like a brown snake. The kids were quite shocked to see it crawl out of the bag.

One kid was so shocked at the snake, he literally fell off his chair!

Making the most of every second weekend!

Over one month since the last post, so time for a blog update!

Life is in a pretty good routine; there are still the odd surprises (like, 02.04am when Linc comes in - "Mum, my feet are wet"...), but Linc is loving school, Carter loves going to Gran's house, and we're finding that we make more of the weekends where Mum doesn't work, such as going to the Arboretum, feeding the ducks, or going to Cockington Green for a train ride!
