Paper flower frenzy...

We have been in a tissue paper frenzy here. Me making huge paper flowers and the kids using my corner off cuts and gluing them to anything they can get their hands on. I started with a few but now I cant stop...I have made about 20 now and wondering if I need to do MORE...

So easy to make...think I might go and make a few more...
I hope you make paper flowers too.

Hard times........

Just by looking, you would never imagine that these girls are a challenge! I remember before they were born I thought "I want kids who are strong willed with strong personalities...well lucky for me that's what I got...and now I struggle...so today I send back a thank you for the good...not all the hard bits that piss me off...

1. I love the way you laugh.

2. You rhyme words like no other kids I know...Anika spanika...

3. So many songs and stories! When we walked home from the market today I listened to two little voices singing their own songs.

4. My cherub, you cuddle with such love.

5. Rules are so important when you are the "maker". It is a skill to be able to cover the house in toys, blocks and clothes in a short space of time. Is a clean house a happy house?

6. Our kitchen table is always covered in art and found things...a rock here a stick there, and today flower petals...so very pretty.

7. The times you play well together a longer than I think...like now as I spy you packing up a game together!!!!!! quick don't let them see me looking.

8. Creative inquisitive drama queens! Wearing up-sleeves and down sleeves.
So be strong my pretties! You make me proud.
