"Scotland has strange weather"

"Scotland has strange weather, it is raining, then sunny, then raining, then sunny...." This is what Benjamin recounted to Grammy Weir today on the phone when she asked what Scotland was like. He is definitely correct! We had a marvelously sunny and warm day today...us crazy Canadians were out in our Tshirts with the Scots in their parkas (well, coats anyhow).
So we enjoyed a day of sun and then when Shawn came home at supper time we all trekked out to Ikea for a lovely supper (they have a great restaurant there with kids meals and a little play/video area where they play Thomas the Train videos) and some shopping. So on the way home, guess what?? It started raining. Fortunately I keep a couple umbrellas in my backpack/diaper bag. So the children just looked too cute walking home together under the umbrellas that I had to take a picture; fortunately I also carry a camera in my backpack/diaperbag.
I hope to be able to catch a few shots of the flat in the coming week to post so you can see our new home. Speaking of new homes, they brought in the new furnishing for our soon to be new flat today. They painted this past week and the furnishings today; still no kitchen cabinets though so we have a little wait.
