wearing glasses like Mummy

A  few months ago James bought home a pair of 3d glasses (like the ones you get at the cinema). Incidentally I have kept the pair from when I took Evie to the newbie showing of Men In Black 3 ;o)

The other day Evie bought me over the 3D glasses (minus the lenses) so that I could put them on her ;o)


It reminds me a bit of Lenny Henry doing Trevor McDoughnut ;o)

small potatoes

"small potatoes, small potatoes, small potatoes, small potatoes , small potatoes, small potatoes, small potatoes, s-ma-ll po-ta-toes"


That song is going around and around in my head...

...it is Evies current favourite program but the show only lasts for three minutes so I cant even get on with doing anything while shes watching it as as soon as it has started she is then telling me that the show has finished and she wants to watch another one!

Hopefully when Sky do their next upgrade they will include a feature where you can "loop" a series of prgogrammes to play back to back (if you are reading this you oh so kind technical people)

Poor James has said that its the show that will send him "over the edge" too.

pushing the lawnmower just like Daddy

On Friday I bought Evie a toy lawnmower ;o)

Here is a video motion picture of her pushing it around the garden

She couldnt play with it in the garden on Friday as it was raining but did enjoy mowing the carpet in the lounge and even mowed the carpet at her Nanny & Grandads Friday evening too ;o)

As it has been in the garden it is now in the garage and I have promised Eve she can mow the lawn again after her nap ;o)

should have gone out when I suggested it

Yesterday morning it was raining so we didnt go out.

The rain had finally stopped when Evie was having her after lunch nap.

So when she woke up at 2.30 pm I said "it has stopped raining now, would you like to play in the back garden" and Evie said "no".

When James got home just after 4 pm the first thing Evie said to him was "back garden" but he told her that it was too wet outside so she couldnt go out to play!  I thin said that we could put her puddle suit on but he said that he didnt want to go out.

Not wishing to "jump on his toes" I didnt take her out but I have the feeling that she just wanted to play with him outside anyway.

Hopefully next time Evie will have a play when she gets offered the chance to ;o)

more playing in the garden

Yesterday me & Evie were playing in the garden and as the weather was reasonably warm I even put some sun cream on her and she didnt moan about me putting it on her either (which was a relief) ;o)

On Tuesday we bought Evie a hula hoop ;o)  They use them in Tumble Tots on the agility play station sometimes ;o)
