Jackies Life: April 2014

Saturday 26 April 2014

We have been getting things ready for Robin, Hanna and Theo moving into Charlotte's. I painted the little room in a lovely blue paint that Mum had in her cupboard. Sam did some filling and some other odd jobs around the house and Charlotte cleared some unwanted stuff out.

This shows the colour best

All finished

We got a chest of drawers and a bed on Freecycle - the chest is for Theo and the bed for Hanna and Robin. They already have a mattress.

Sam and Charlotte put the bed together - a bit of a jigsaw as they had no instructions.

Update - we got a nice bathroom unit today on Freecycle - perfect for keeping cleaning products and medicines away from Theo! Sam had to dismantle it and put it back together as it was a bit wobbly - but perfect now.

Easter Weekend

Robin, Hanna and Theo came to spend Easter with us. They arrived on Good Friday - I was at the park waiting for Pixel to return from a little jaunt! After refreshments we popped to Charlottes to unload some bits and pieces that Robin and Hanna won't need till they move.
In the evening we went to eat at Sizzall - a world food buffet, which was delicious!

Delicious!

On Easter Saturday we went to Mums - it was the first time the whole family has been together for years!

Louise and Andy met Marcus for the first time!

Percussion!

Aunty Sally and Aunty Jayne were fighting over cuddles - I think Sally won!


Big Sis had cuddles too!

Theo soon found his feet and was busy charming everyone!

On Easter Sunday I cooked a leg of lamb and we had a lovely family roast dinner at home. Robin and family travelled home and Sam and I had a quiet evening with Marcus. Sam drove Charlotte to St. Albans as she was going out with some friends for the evening.

We spent Easter Monday quietly relaxing at home. It was a lovely weekend!

Moving

Robin, Hanna and little Theo have decided to move back to Luton - and to live with Charlotte for a few months. They will be leaving Devon at the end of May. Robin has been able to swap areas for work, which is great news. Charlotte is looking forward to having them and we are delighted that they will be close by.
