The Chicken Spots are back....

.... And this time they're serious!! Poor Miss Natalie has the chicken pox now. She was very fed up on Monday and Tuesday this week, she had her injection on Tuesday mornng and cried for 15 minutes afterwards, which is very out of character. On Wednesday morning we woke up to her having several spots on her head and the next day she had loads. She now has many more and is very very fed up with it. We have had 2 terrible nights with her, and she is very clingy to me, she just wants her Mummy. I have been giving her lots of baths (with Bicarbonate of Soda in them!) and putting on Calomine lotion. We really think that Holly was very lucky when she had them as she was nowhere near as bad as this.

Anyway you can kind of see how bad her spots are in this photo of them sitting together yesterday, Holly told me she wanted a 'Shot' of Natalie so I put her on her knee...

So it's just been a quiet few days, we did go over to see Liam and Emma on Thursday, as Liam has the chicken pox too (probably got it from Holly as they had been playing together the day before she got it!) and Friday was a quiet day. Of course it is Easter weekend, we were going to do something tomorrow as Mum and Dad are through, but that's off now Natalie is so poorly. I have told Holly that the Easter Bunny will still be coming though and we will have an Easter egg hunt for her tomorrow.

Last weekend we had both sets of Grandparents through as they were all going to see Lionel Ritchie (?!) in concert. Holly and Natalie were just delighted to see everyone. Here is Nat playing with the ball which both Grannies were throwing to her.

Here is a photo of the girls I took one morning last week, Holly was lying watching Peppa Pig and Natalie kept throwing herself back on the floor to lie like her sister, very funny!

And finally Holly outside sweeping up the sand she kept putting on the step.

That's about it really, apart for the exciting news of a new arrival (no not Ian's Playstation 3, poor me I am a playstation widow!) our friends Angela and Martin are expecting a baby in November, I am just so excited for them and can't wait to meet Matthew's wee brother or sister. I was speaking to Holly about it the other day and she said "Alla have Natalie" (Alla=Angela) I think she is expecting Natalie to go and live with them now!

Well that's it, Happy Easter all!
