ESIOTROT~~~~~~~~~

So finally after years of wanting a tortoise we have two. Blake has named his Fred but i still can't decide what to call him i have had so many people on face book giving me idea's but i still can't decide. i don't know if they are girls or boy's and won't know until they are around four  years old.

there bred is marginated tortoise and they come from grease/turkey and Italy and are  one of the rarest Europe. they like to climb and bury them self under there bedding.

when they get bigger there shell will flare out at the back like a skirt very cool.

at the moment they fit in too the palm of my hand they have there own personality.

they really are amazing

it's making me smile

its strange how just a bit of weather can make you feel so good. every time i walk out the door i smile to my self because the sunshine make me feel happy. 

it been a nice week this week and i am so happy abut Blake getting a good report at school and as i thought his maths is great. the first one on the carpet to say the sum in his head out loud every time amazes me as i am a finger counter. D'OH

he has this obsession with monopoly and i thought it would have been gone by now but he still loves it. but he is so hard to play agent's not that he cheats just that he gives you the answers about how much change you need or vise verser before you have even looked at the card its amazing his memory. 

and to top it off he got a gold award on Monday for his reading then another on Tuesday for math's. very proud i must say.

Sonny has got his 6Th tooth come through poor thing he looks so sweet  so little but full of teeth.

and sonny loves to dance this week it started with Stevie wonder very superstitious and has gone on from there and he goes in time its so cool.

what a move...

Well we are moving and i can't wait. 

But i can't believe we are doing a self build its something we have always said we wanted to do but it seems like it has come around a lot quicker then expected.

When we went to look at the land i just fell in love with it the area is beautiful and the house is amazing. It already had full planning permission for a 4 bedroom 3 story town house. And next door have already build the same house so we new what it will be like because there is two next door.

On Saturday we went to see the house next door but one so we could get a real feel of what its like the moment I walked it I fell in love with it. So much space  . And i must say i am excited to have a laundry room and cloakroom ( down stairs little loo) .

The kitchen and dinning area is amazing it has huge glass floor to ceiling door's and windows and measures 21'6 by 15'8.

We have a internal garage and parking spaces for about 4 cars.

the second floor has two bedrooms one which will be sonny's room and the other will be office/craft room.

The main bathroom is on this floor plus the living room which has views out to the mundon river . This room is 21'6 by 12'8 so another great sized room.

Then on the third floor is the master room with UN suit. This room has the most amazing window and looks out to the river. Then there is Blake's room which is alot bigger then his room now he loves his room. 

one of the best things about this house is having a big garden once the house is on the land it will be 120 feet long. because it was originally someones garden it has mature plants and tree's which are lovely and its only a stone's throw away from the water so its going to be beautiful in the summer. lots of gardening to do but when you have an amazing garden you want it too look nice . Blake loved running up and down the garden and is very excited even the thought of going to a new school really excites him. i think when it come nearer the time it will be different.

so the nest t=year is going to be full of hard work and commitment. but its all going to be worth it in the end. i am going to be starting my driving too so i wont be that far away only 30 Min's from where i am now.

wow i can't wait.
