Saturday Smiles

Each Saturday I try to reflect on my week and think about the things that have made smile. 

 

Mr Expressions, the Baby Whisperer. 

We have been trying to get out of the house a wee bit more, as Miss Muffet has been slowly going a bit stir crazy and therefore driving everyone else crazy. It may take me two hours to round everyone up and leave the actual house- but we are getting out there in the big wide world! I took the girls to visit Mr Expression, who is totally in love with his newest cousin. He insisted on holding her all by himself and when he got his wish, sat there utterly blissed out. I love this pic, it makes me so happy. 

 

My Little Helper 

Miss Muffet has decided that she is my little helper which is both a blessing ( when she is actually helping) and a pain in the butt ( when she insists on helping me use the toilet!!!?!!)  She has her own squirty bottle of water and cloth and likes to assist me in the cleaning the bathroom. This photo was taken before she soaked herself and the floor ....

 

Girls Night! 

Action Dad went to the rugby, leaving me at home on a Saturday night. What's a girl to do except for rent some chick flicks and eat takeaways with her sister and mother??? 

Saturday Smiles

At the moment I am surviving on very broken sleep, a lot of coffee and copious amounts of sugar. I have a constant foggy brain and am needing to write down anything that even remotely needs remembering. I am also learning to quickly survey double meltdown situations where both of my girls are howling and decide who I need to attend to first and who can manage to wait for a few more minutes before they implode.

Luckily, I have a lot of lovely, kind and funny people in my life who help me to smile. So for the next few weeks I am going to try and write a post every Saturday which details some of the moments in my week that made me smile.

My Choo Choo Girl

Funny little Miss Muffet is a big fan of trains and we are very excited that her slowly expanding repertoire of words includes the word " choo choo". The other night, as I headed off to bed, I stopped in to check on Miss Muffet and make sure that she was actually in bed and not asleep on the floor. This is what I found:

 

Little Miss Muffet fast asleep and cuddled up to her favourite trains, which she has smuggled to bed without Action Dad noticing. Love her!

Daylight Robbery
Today we went to visit Amazing Sister, Mr Darcy and Mr Expression. Mr Expression sidled up to me and showed me a wee plastic bag of his treasure- a collection of small stones he had decided were Very Important and Most Special. Mr Expression very kindly offered to gift me one stone which I accepted. He then sat and thought for awhile before announcing that he was going to go outside and that he required a table because he was going to sell his stones. Amazing Sister and I tried to convince him that this may not be the best idea and I offered to buy a second stone. I scrounged $1.20 in loose change from my purse and counted out $1. Mr Expression gave me my original stone! I offered him the further 20 cents, which he took. When I asked what that would get me he replied - " one! And you already have it! ". That boy is going to go places.

Flowers

We were so lucky to receive beautiful bunches of flowers to celebrate the arrival of Buttons. I have had them all sitting on our kitchen bench and everytime I see them, they make me smile.
