Sunshine & Smiles

Hello me lovelies

How are we all today??
Its been absolutely gorgeous & sunny here all day...my boys have loved it as that's means they can mess about in hubby's Mum & Dads garden..causing havoc...just typical boys i suppose :D
Jaykub has been chasing Manny the rabbit round the garden and then he goes to see the new rabbit called Peppa and gets mad because he cant get to her...she is adorable, well they both are :D

My kids now want a rabbit...without them knowing (while they are at school), i might just go price up how much it will cost for a hutch & run and get them a wee rabbit :o)
Well one more animal wont hurt...we have a bearded dragon called Flash, staffie called Busta, gerbil called Bill, some Koi and a couple of marines fish so no one more wont hurt :o)
