Some things we have been up to recently...

Eliza falling asleep .... just can't take that no naps thing some days... she'll sleep where she can! One day all was quiet in the kitchen and we go in to find Eliza having eaten all this butter - it was a full pack. When we went in she said - 'Mmmmm, it tastes yummy!' Couldn't help but laugh (and feel slightly queasy at the same time). You can eve see the finger marks!
My Aunt and Uncle bought me a National Trust membership for my birthday so we've been taking trips to local places. Last weekend we went to Anglesey Abbey and Lode Mill. Here are the girls 'hiding' amongst the Silver Birch trees.

And now climbing trees...


With it being the summer holidays Esther has been playing out alot - either with friends in the street or at the neighbours houses. Eliza is a bit little to be out without supervision so we've been having some time together. I got the paints out which I hadn't done in ages and Eliza loved it. I'll have to make the effort more often!









Other than that, we took the stablisers off Esther's bike the other day thinking we had time to help her learn to ride without them. She hoped right on the bike and was off! Didn't need any tuition, she was good to go! She was soooooooooo proud of herself and we even went on a 1 mile bike ride not long after with no problems. We've just got to wait for Eliza's legs to get a bit longer so we can get her riding her bike!

well done on the riding the bike thing - Leilani still won't do it, she's such a little scaredy cat :)

What is it with kids and butter?!?!?! I remember one of my little brothers also had a love of soap for a while--so I guess at least butter is a form of a food group!

Wow - Esther must be a very coordinated little lady! Well done! Yucky on the butter, though. Ew!
