Mine! mine! mine!

Have any of you seen Finding Nemo? I'm sure you have. You know the seagulls that sit on the wharf and scream 'mine, mine, mine' at every fish that comes into sight, hmm hmmm I have one of those living here at the moment.

She's quite polite about it, 'no Mummy, that's mine', 'no Elliot, that's mine', etc., and when said item is relinquished to her, she always says thank you. But, oh my God, she's driving me loopy. This evening when Daddy got home from work she took his shoes and claimed them as hers, it's pathological, really.

We're sure she'll grow out of it, most of them do don't they?! Either that or we hope she steals the good stuff, he hee.

Second birthday

Molly's 2nd birthday tea was lovely. A very small affair, just Eva and Elliot. Her two other friends both had the same horrible tummy bug so our afternoon tea party was even smaller then anticipated, but she had a great time.

Most importantly she recognised who was on her cake immediately. Phew! You have no idea how long Daddy and I struggled to make it look like Pingu (just in case, OK, you might have guessed it eventually but you know...!). But that doesn't matter now, because she grinned from ear to ear and shouted 'Pingu' as soon as I bought it in the room. Success!

She ate all her favourite things, cake, chippies, marshmallows and chocolate crispy cakes. Went on a huge sugar rampage and then collapsed into bed, so it was all good.

Thank you cards have been sent, but just in case I forgot anyone, thank you so much for all her gifts. Much appreciated.

Hibernation mode

It's official, it's winter and I am totally in hibernation mode. Once the curtains are drawn and the fire is lit at night all I want to do is get under my blankie and stay there until bedtime.

So, another month passes with much to report and I can't shift my lazy arse off the couch to tell you all about it...

So now to make amends...

Cute pic, just in case you've forgotten what Molly looks like. Yes, we keep her in a box now, it's much easier that way, ha ha!!
