Happy Hallowe'en!!

We didn't go out with Mae trick-or-treating but boy did she have fun giving out candy! And her childminder, Liza, and her two boys showed up just as Mae was going to bed and she was so excited!!

What's cool about Scotland? The kids here tell you a joke when you give them sweets! (better than slashing your tires like the Bristolians! Just joking Rach!)

Mae was her own little monster today: We went to her playgroup and when we came home she sang 'five little monkeys'- the Cranmer Variation:

'Five little monkeys jumping on the bed,
one fell off and bumped his head
DAMMIT!! DAMMIT BED!!!'

I almost died laughing. I know it's not funny though, mom!




I don't know if I have said this before but Rumpole has a new friend- he loves these stupid toys that we won for Mae at one of the numerous fairs here in Dumfries:
