Birthday shots

Thanks to Kelly for the extra shots.

Birthday party

After a nap, with her spoils. She opened them quietly with just me. We went through each one and I told her who gave them to her. She kept saying, "Wow, that's nice isn't it?" Friends, Kelly & Nik and Karen & Ethan. Perhaps someone will send me some more photos of the other people there. I was a little bit busy to be taking happy snaps. My one attempt at a game. Pin the tail on the elephant. Tilly's party was an Eric Carle theme and this was part of the package. Eric Carle as in 'The Hungry Caterpillar' story book.

The cool crowns came with the package.

Friend Kristie and the calm before the storm!

Paula's amazing cake. I delegated this task to her and I was really proud of her efforts. It looks just like the book.

Mates

My PC has been out of commission for a while but is back on track. I found this photo in my files that I hadn't seen in a while. Tilly and Boyd up to no good at Uncle Ben & Auntie Gwen's. Boydie's wearing his Team Furness shirt. These two are the best of pals and I love this shot of them, so wanted to share it.

Butterfly Encounters

A nice simple visit back to the zoo and straight to the insectarium. The sun was shining in the morning though it didn't last.

Taking a picture of me taking a picture.

Crazy butterflies on Tilly's pram. I had to get a worker to pull them off?!

Abram's delight at the owl.

Cool kids and pink flamingos.

Say and do it like this....

Tilly is in the bath relaxing after a big day out. She sometimes gets her face wet and can't abide by it. At which point I must come dry her face with a towel. For the umpteenth time I was called - "MAMA!! I've got a wet face!!" "Do you love? What do you need me to do about it?" (I was over the whole wet face thing at this point) ... To which she replied, "You can say, 'Oh my goodness you have a wet face' and then you can come in here." So I considered myself told......

May shots ~

At the Yong He #4 Park Library.

A great place for the kids to chill out.

Peace out...

Running free.

Tilly can't tolerate swinging in swings. This is as high as she'll go and she won't let me near her. Makes her feel sick.

Sweet Zoe.

Getting ready for a girl's night out.
