We've been busy. I'll catch the blog up at some point. Maybe. But for today, I'm going to pinch Clare's idea (like hundreds of others) and blog three things that have made me happy:
- For the first time ever I let the girls get their photo taken with Santa. Becca scrambles up onto the throne and poses happily. But to get Maggie to pull her thumb out of her mouth and smile, I have to stand by the camera in the middle of the mall and pull faces, do monkey impressions, caper, gurn, leer and, at one point, shove my fingers up my nose. It works and I'm rewarded with two dazzling smiles. 'Great job Mum: can you come back tomorrow?' quips the photographer.
- As I clear up after the kids' dinner, Maggie grabs the hoover off me and sets to work. 'I helping Mama,' she declares proudly.
- To depersonalise the house before showing it, we took all the kids' art down from the kitchen cupboards. Now that we've sold the place, and with a few weeks to go before we move, I decide to stick the recent artworks up, and our kitchen is colourful again.
