So turns out Evie likes vanilla essence like her mumma haha
Today we went for another swim. Sam & I cleaned the pool too, getting some more chlorine tomorrow.
Went to Aldi today and got the girls some new togs for only $6! Got the calendar for you too but couldn't find any snow.
This afternoon I gave Lilli the advent calendar you got her. She was very excited :-)
Having a cup of English Breakfast tea with nutella toast and thinking of you all.
The girls are having their usual lunch flowers lol.
One week down, two to go.
Hope Manchester is treating you well and that it isn't to wet.
Lilli has been requesting most nights to wear one of Aunty Emmy's shirts to bed. Last night she chose the Queen of Sleep nightie.
She is so beautiful when she is asleep :-)
Can't believe it's been a week since you got on a plane!
Today we had playgroup. It was great. I got a whole hour of newborn cuddles with a sleepy baby Jasmine...Sooooo good. I like getting my weekly fix lol.
Lilli asked to wear the number shirt Nano bought her :) We made salt dough ornaments which we will paint next week. Also next week we are going to one of the mums homes to decorate gingerbread houses!
This morning I found Miss Evelyn pushing the white chair up to the front door and trying to open the door!! Then this afternoon she had discovered climbing on the coffee table...oh I have my hands full with this one!! Also Evie has discovered she has a belly button, quite amusing!!
This afternoon we painted wrapping paper for all our Christmas presents. Evie was only interested in eating the paint and Lilli just kept washing her hands lol.
Anyway, better go as its time to get Simon from the station. Hope you have a safe drive to Manchester.
Love you and miss you all heaps
XXxx
P.S. I just drove past the high school and there are big signs every where saying "school carpark renewal, approx 8 weeks" Interesting...
Today while Evie slept Lilli and I did some macaroni art :)
I had a great time ... Oh and so did Lilli hehe
Cleaning the nook and found this old photo of me and Sandy Kane!! 10 years ago at my graduation.
Today after homechurch Lillia had a little break down again. She was begging to go to Nano's to see Aunty Emmy. I gently reminded her again that you are all on holidays. She looked up at me with tears rolling down her cheeks, sobbing "Emmy's far far away isn't she. I don't want her to be, I want her home." :'( Needless to say I nearly cried at that point but for the sake of the child I held it in and told her we could make a present for Emmy that we can give her when she gets back. That excited her. So Emm when you get home expect some random gifts from your eldest niece :-) No doubt you will all receive gifts haha.
You've only been gone a few days, I wonder what the next few weeks will be like. Lilli misses her Emmy and I miss my mummy.
I really hope you're having an amazing time and creating lots of special memories to last you all a lifetime.
Love you, always and forever.
P.S. Our tomatoes are flowing which means we will have loads of fruit soon and this morning I noticed a huge flower bud on our pumpkins!!
Just went for a swim in your pool. Sooooo nice!! Again more stunning weather today. Evie and I are sporting some sunburn from the beach so the cool water in the pool was so good.
Lillia is getting better at her swimming, slowly gaining confidence.
Best bit of playing in the pool is that both girls crash afterwards haha.
Sam is looking after the house ok. He had a fancy dress party last night (Friday) and he built an arc reactor, that looks eerily similar to Tony Stark's, from a wardrobe light fitting he had.
Not much mail, only a letter from AIIU which I'm assuming is a cheque.
Hope you are having an amazing time (how could you not be!). I've put a London clock on my phone so I can know what time it is over there. I believe you are heading to Paris today (OMG!!). Can't wait to see more photos.
Love you and miss you all so incredibly much.
Oh and Emm, Lillia loved the photo of you and Tinkerbell. She squealed with much delight :-]
Akiho is on her way to the airport. Not many tears shed which is good.
To cheer Lilli up we went outside and collected some frangipanis. Lilli wanted to give them Nano, so explained for the 100th time that you're far far away, which didn't really cheer her up. It's alright though an iceblock did the job :-)
So on the way back from the beach we drove past the kippa-ring pool shop. Lilli squealed so loud "aaaadddddyyyyy, addy works there mummy, look" them I reminded her that you were away and she said "oh yeah, I miss them."
Awwww
Oh and no idea why the photos on here are going in upside down!!??
Since it's Akiho's last day I decided to bundle the girls up and head for the beach. The weather is stunning!!! Warm sun, cool breeze and beach pretty much to ourselves.
