Guineapig watching

Today we went to one of my favourite parks: Calderglen in East Kilbride. I like the big slides and the sandpit and I like the little zoo. I saw 2 baby meerkats cuddling their mummy and daddy and mum said it was a shame she didn't have the camera with her and I saw some guineapigs that looked delicious. I told Thomas it would be nice to try barbecued guineapig and for some reason all the ladies that were looking at the guineapigs at the same time as us started to laugh a lot. Weird!

A fun idea? Maybe not.

Picnic

Today Mummy was working on her computer and Thomas was upstairs working too. Bits and I had a good idea for a game so we went through to the downstairs bathroom together. I got Bits to give me a toilet roll and I took the paper off it while she collected 3 other empty toilet roll holders from the shelf. I put one down the toilet, then some paper, then a second tube and some more toilet roll and finally the third tube and the rest of the paper. I tried the flusher and it didn't work. Wow, we'd managed what we set out to do, we'd actually managed to block the toilet.
We ran through to mum and said 'Come and see! Come and see! It works!' Mum followed us through and we proudly showed her what we'd done. But mummy didn't look pleased, mummy looked quite angry... So angry in fact that I stopped smiling and walked through to the porch and put myself in time-out. I heard mummy struggling to fish out all the paper using an old chop stick and filling nearly a whole ASDA bag. Mummy didn't stop shouting all the time she was fishing. I went through and took it to the bin for her and said sorry and tried to explain that we were just trying to see if we could stop the flusher working.
I don't think Bits and I should do that again :-(

Thomas can be quite strange at times. For the last week he's been taking out little packets he bought at B&Q that are full of seeds to plant. For some reason Thomas thinks the seeds are frogs. He tells me to dig holes in the ground and put in frogs, he tells me to fill trays with soil and bury the frogs. I know they aren't frogs but it seems to keep Thomas happy if I play along and call them frogs so he understands... whatever!

Blue monkey killer

Mummy and Thomas are moving their bedroom into our old dining room. Granny and Pumpa came to decorate. When Mummy took off the skirting she got a big shock when a mouse came out from a hole under the floor. If we are going to sleep here, she said, we need to get some mouse killer first. We went to B&Q and we went to a bit I've never seen before - they had mouse killer and rat killer and slug killer and spider and wasp killer. There were lots of killer bottles. I noticed though that there was no Blue monkey killer. I shouted to mummy - Mummy why don't they sell Blue monkey kille? All the ladies and men in the shop started to laugh and speak to mum saying I was a very nice boy. I'm not sure why they found that so funny because there really wasn't any Blue monkey killer.

I'm not sure I really understand adults. Last week Thomas told me to be careful of an old, green potato because it was poisonous. Now he tells me he's all excited because he's going to poison mummy on Saturday somewhere in Glasgow. I told him to be careful and cut off the green bits but he just wandered off muttering something about giving eachother a new ring. Weird...

My snowman

I woke up early this morning to find it had SNOWED! Mum didn't let me go out till about 9am. It was torture. And once we got out it started snowing so heavily we had to come back in for 20 minutes. Once we got out I helped mum build this snowman and I got him a carrot out the fridge for his nose. Some cars were blocking the road so we couldn't go to nursery. When Charlotte came home we made two more snowmen but mum made us come in when it got dark. It was very cold but great fun. Even Bits came out and watched.
