Harris
has spent the day baking cupcakes
and building JCB diggers. The cakes were somewhat more successful
than the diggers.

just needs to confirm something
before it's too late: When she goes to collect the new baby from
hospital that's when they take away the horrible first one
right?!

is trying to work it out. If you
have two kids and you’re in the car park, do you put the toddler in
the car first before it runs away or put the baby in the car first
so it doesn’t get stolen? *Freaking out*

Tinkerbell Trixy Rapunzel and be done with it.

isn't having fish fingers and chips

obviously having lots of green veg and water.
Honest.

is perhaps more proud then she

has sent the boys off to
nursery/work, showered, dried her hair, made beds - however the
thought of getting dressed and cleaning all 3 floors seems like too
much hard work. Maybe testing out the freshly made bed is an
option?
