Happy Christmas!

A few days ago Emily took herself off in the dining room to make Christmas presents out of the craft equipment, she made a paper concertina fish and coloured them in, a paper ring for Nanna and she wouldn't tell me what mine was, she wrapped it and put it under the tree.

 

When I opened it I burst out crying

 

 

It says - "No place like home"

 



Dont worry mummy

Emily overheard parts of a conversation she really shouldn't have yesterday about money, she disappeared into the play room and came back with a beautiful card that choked me...
 

and then inside...

 

I have the most amazing children and im so so proud of them both, we could all learn allot from Emily!

Tonsils finally out

Well we had an early start at the hospital this morning and had to starve poor Emily for her operation but she didn't complain.  I went with her down to the theatre and was with her as they put her to sleep.  She was playing a game on an I-pad and totally distracted but I was a little alarmed they administered the antithetic while she was sat up talking so she slumped like a sack of potatoes which upset me, its such an upsetting stressful experience and even though iv done it twice before it doesn't get any easier :(

 

Thankfully it didn't take too long before they brought her back all sleepy and feeling grotty and Nanna and Daddy arrived to spoil her with magazines and sweetys :) It was a very long day but we was finally discharged at 5pm, homeward bound for lots of TLC

Emily is Ruby the dog!

Emily was cast as Ruby the Dog in the school panto which was really great as she has has so much time off school and her attendance unpredictable I thought they may give her a minor unimportant role so it was lovely to go to the play today and watch her, she wasn't impressed that the dog suit had teddy bear ears though hehe

 

 

Un-Happy Birthday Hannah :'(

My poor little birthday girl has been up all night sick! What a nightmare, from 11pm till 5:30am unable to keep anything down or sleep, will have to cancel today's birthday plans my poor little darling was a total trooper, no crying or feeling sorry for herself, time to try some water again after a few hours sleep

 

Hannah'ism

Me: "Right then I better put you to bed for the last time as a 3 year old, when did you get such a lovely big girl?"
Hannah: "I'm still your little darling!!"

Two poorly girls

Well Emily got sent home from school yesterday, sore throat cough pale and lethargic, here we go again, rest of the week off for my little miss. Took her to doctors this morning for a 10 day course of erythromycin that will carry her over nicely to her tonsillectomy on the 16th then another week off school. Caved in and bust the Disney films out I bought for Christmas, got my two beautiful girls tucked up on the sofa with a blanket, lights off, surround sound up and Tinkerbell on :)

Playing with the playfood

Hannah "What shall I make you mum?"
Me "Ooo can I have a cup of tea please?"
Hannah "Do you want a big cup or a little one?"
Me "Erm can I just have a little one please"
Hannah "No mum ... you have a big mouth so you need a big one"
