haha, yeah I love that Dh takes them to the 'mouse house' (we once left a mouse there after Leila busted our cat with it...she was horrified so we had to take it off the cat lol).

I was thinking the laptop looking thingy...but the DS looking one could be even better (smaller and easier to lug around)...

we will be fairly central (westwood). but apparently it is really nice and very leafy and pedestrian friendly. so i guess on that front it will be good. i hope!

ok, another quick bit of advice needed!! we saw a small dog lying on the side of the road. we pulled up and i jumped out to check on it. it was very obviously dead; a lady from the house it was lying in front of was on the mobile calling the lost dogs home and the council to get it identified and picked up. Leila wanted to come over and have a look. DH and I both said no. (it was NOT a pretty sight if you can imagine). she completely lost it and became hysterical. she knew that it had died and she was upset, but she was really upset that we wouldnt let her have a look (she wanted to say goodbye to the puppy). i felt so bad. and not sure taht i did the right thing by not letting her have a look??? i have no idea?! it was pretty confronting??? she is currently bawling her eyes out wanting the puppy to come 'back' so she can take it to the park to play with stella . far out...i have NO IDEA on what to say to her???

Heellllllppppp!
