Cars and Butterflies

I played a little trick on my friends and unbelievably some fell for it!

I said that I was buying an Aston Martin (which wasn't untrue as I bought an Aston Martin computer mouse).
People straight away jumped in and started saying "How did you get one of those!" etc! Madness!

So I kept up the facade and when the 'Aston' arrived I posted a few photos.....

My new Aston Martin!

An arty shot (On my stairs!)

I can't wait to use it but the handling (Hee Hee!) will take a bit of getting used to!

I also spent all day with my Noodles and it's been long overdue as all I feel like I ever do with her is get her dressed and then put her to bed as I work every day like a lot of other Mums have to do.

After having breakfast in bed (which she was so excited about!) we made little butterflies and a flower out of pegs.

Here is the outcome! I am so proud!

Beautiful!

And the picture was taken on my windowsill too so I'm pleased with how it's come out!

Well I'm off to have a Baileys and ice......Night all. xx

Emmy-isms!

I love my little girl more than all the world and when she started to come out with random but funny comments that only a child could then I thought I'd record them for prosperity!

Here are a few of my faves:

"The Dragon's crying because he doesn't like the big 'O'!"

"There's a Rabbit in my jeans and he's tickling my tippy toes!"

On getting her hair in her eyes - "Mummy my hair's gone MAD!"

On her ankles sticking out from under her trousers - "Oh no Mummy, my knees have fallen out!"

Me and my Noodles

 Today we went to see Charlie and Lola in our local theatre and she loved it! It was so well done and half way though there were bubbles and butterflies came down from above like confetti!

It was great fun and I hope to take her to things like that more often! :-)

Making Cakes

Noodles and I like making cakes! We usually make little fairy cakes but today we decided to go for the big one!

Licking out the bowl of cake mixture as the cake cooks

Making the icing

"I got some on my nose!"

Thumbs up!!

The finished product! Yum!

As long as I save a piece for my Sister we can eat it today! Yay!

5 Word Poem #1

Written on 08/01/2002

I was a bit obsessed with creating on the spot poems from 5 random words thrown out by the nearest person!

Here is the first one ever written!

Words:

Egg, Letterbox, Shelf, Draft-Excluder, Pip

Poem:

The Egg and Pip lived in the docks,
In a beautiful lavender letterbox,
They'd been best of friends since Nursery School,
And they thought the docks were very cool!

"One day" said Pip (who was an Elf),
"I'll leave my perch upon this shelf,
I'll travel the world with that vet Truda,
On a supersonic Draft-Excluder!

I thank you! :-)

The joys of a little person - The Dummy Fairy

I have a little person.......She's called Emmy, but we also like to call her Noodles.

She loves her Daddy's band and likes to sing "Can't buy me Love" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash" in the car very loudly!

She's 2 and 1/2 years old. :-)

We're toilet training at the moment and so far we've had 2 whole days dry, but then it's included me saying "Do you need to go?", her saying "No!", me taking her and her going anyway! We'll get there. :-)

However the biggest test for me to date has to be the Dummy Fairy. Tonight The Dummy Fairy will come to our house and take the little pile of dummies from her bedroom shelf and give them to the new babies. This is because the way she sucks her dummy (bottom lip over the dummy) makes her dribble and it upsets her so this morning she said she didn't want them any more. So.....this brings us to the present time.

She cried for about 5 minutes (well cry is an over-exaggeration...it was more a noise of sorts) and now she's asleep. I don't even think she knew why she was crying as she didn't once ask for a dummy, just kept looking around as if there was something else she should be doing before going to sleep.

Well lets see what the morning brings....Maybe the Dummy Fairy left a present to say thankyou!

Welcome to me!

I used to write a diary.......well it was more of a rant about how unfair life was, but it was done daily so that makes it a diary right?

Well that was way back in the early 90's!

I follow my Sisters blog and it makes for interesting reading! She's my Sister and so I should know her. I see her at least once a week but yet we don't really talk, or catch up on life and what makes each other tick.

It's made me think. I like writing and so why not follow suit? Or copy as I think it's more commonly called!
I also have some Bits 'n' Bobs from an old tattered book of stuff that I populate from time to time, that might be of interest.

So.....welcome to me! :-)
