After spending the morning cleaning and sorting out, we managed to find the face paints again so Eilidh insisted on having her face painted and then both her hands. Then I had to get mine done too, fortunately I persuaded her that only one cheek would do, so now I have a cactus on my face!? Got some piccies but Eilidh has taken an aversion to having her photo taken and refused to smile....grumpy grouch!!

Yesterday Eilidh and Ben had built a 'house' under Eilidh's bed (which is a high sleeper in case you were wondering!) They then insisted that they wanted to have a 'sleepover' in their new house. They put down some cushions we had from the caravan, got their teddies, pyjamas, duvets and books to read and got Dave to fix them a little light up and both snuggled down into bed and Eilidh read Ben a bedtime story. We were expecting them to be awake half the night and get bored of the idea but they both slept really well, no noise from Ben at all. Well that was until 4.30 this morning when Eilidh got up to the loo and woke Ben up, and then neither of them went back to sleep! They thought it was great fun and wanted to do it again tomight but one night at a time is enough!!

Ben got some new trains in the post this morning for his Tomy track, which we had promised to get him, so we had to build another track for him and he played nearly all day on and off with this. His wooden track has nearly all been sold so he is already trying to get us to buy loads of new bits for the Tomy track he is into now (an entrepeneur in the making!)
