Upside down

Today we are moving all our belongings from upstairs to our downstairs rooms. Packing boxes so that the kids don't rummage through piles of pillows, blankets, towels and clothes. Keeping the bare minimum out. And why are we doing all this? Well the builders arrive tomorrow and will demolish two bathrooms, move a few internal walls and knock this house into shape! We can't wait - new bathrooms, new paint, new curtains, new lights and new carpet. Almost like having a new house. Everything should be back to normal in about 2 - 3 months. And then we can think about downstairs.

Tomorrow will be quite a sombre day however since little Arabella Miller will have a front tooth removed. It is quite an operation since it has to be done under general anaesthetic. She lost her front tooth in an accident about 5 weeks ago. The tooth was re-inserted but since an abcess has formed she needs to remove this tooth or else she may lose more. She is such a brave girl. When the dentist told me she would have her tooth removed she said "Mum, I will be just like Coco". You see, Coco lost a tooth 2 weeks ago but unlike Coco, her tooth won't grow back for a long time (4 years). She will be our gappy little girl.
